The Pokémon TCG community is buzzing with excitement as whispers of the Mega Legacy Set, set to launch on January 16, 2026, promise to shake up the Mega Evolution Series with a psychic-powered bang! Following the sky-high success of Mega Dream ex, this fourth expansion dives into the legendary lore of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, spotlighting Mega Mewtwo ex (both X and Y variants) alongside other iconic Megas like Mega Alakazam ex. With mind-bending attacks and the series’ signature 3-Prize mechanic, this set is poised to redefine competitive play and captivate collectors.
Mega Legacy is expected to feature around 140 cards (100 main set, ~40 secret rares), including eight Mega Pokémon ex, six regular Pokémon ex, and 16 illustration rares. The set’s silhouette-style artwork continues to dazzle, with ultra-rare full-art Trainers, Items, and a new Psychic-type Special Energy tipped to boost psychic decks. Early leaks suggest Mega Mewtwo X ex’s Psyforce Barrage attack could dominate control strategies, while collectors are already chasing the set’s seven special illustration rares for their cosmic, prismatic designs. Gold hyper rares, especially Mega Mewtwo Y ex, are generating serious investment hype.
Prerelease events kick off on January 2, 2026, with Build & Battle Boxes featuring promos like Abra or Natu, giving players an early taste of psychic chaos. Pokémon TCG Live will launch the set digitally on January 15, with exclusive quests and quadruple XP rewards for deck testing. Looking ahead, rumors hint at a February 2026 Mega Valor set, potentially introducing Mega Gallade ex to keep the momentum soaring.
