From TCGTracker’s explosive list to PokeBeach confirmations, Emerald Surge (aka “Storm Emerald” or “Storm Emeralda”) evokes Pokémon Emerald’s Rayquaza legacy and Legends: Z-A hype. As of January 8, 2026, debates rage—renamed to Perfect Order or separate beast?—but the leaks keep the dragon fire roaring. Let’s unpack the juiciest details!
Leak Origins: TCGTracker’s Viral Hit and Evolving Whispers
The saga ignited September 29, 2025, with TCGTracker’s X post (87K views, 735 likes): “🚨 Major Pokémon TCG Leak – 2026 Sets 👀 … 🌪️ Shadow Storm 💚 Emerald Surge 💎 Radiant Ruby / Shining Sapphire 🎉 Eternals (30th Anniversary Set)” Poke Pullz revisited November 30 (90K views): “Revisiting this huge leak… Pretty accurate so far 👀 Next up… Nihil Zero on Jan 23 which will lead to either Shadow Storm or Emerald Surge set (NAME TBD) on March 27”
PokeBeach (Sep 29) tied it to “Storm Emeralda” (JP trademark June 2025), starring Mega Zygarde ex for January 23 JP (Nihil Zero/Perfect Order EN Mar 27).
