The Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution – Phantasmal Flames set, released November 14, 2025, is the second Mega Evolution series expansion, featuring around 90 main-set cards and 130 total with secret rares, one of the smallest English sets in years. It focuses on fire- and darkness-type Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, with key chase cards like Mega Charizard X ex, Mega Gengar ex, Mega Lopunny ex, and Mega Heracross ex, alongside 6 Mega Pokémon ex, 13 Illustration Rares, and 5 Special Illustration Rares. Prereleases ran from November 1–9, delivering vibrant artwork and competitive power for collectors and players.

Top Chase Cards
Journey Together is packed with high-value chase cards, making it a collector’s dream:
- Lillie’s Clefairy ex (Special Illustration Rare): A stunning card with vibrant artwork by Susumu Maeya, highly sought after for its beauty and Lillie’s popularity.
- N’s Zoroark ex (Hyper Rare): Notable for a rare misprint in the Japanese version, driving collector interest.
- Iono’s Bellibolt ex (Special Illustration Rare): A competitive powerhouse with charming artwork.
- Hop’s Zacian ex: A fan-favorite for its competitive viability and nostalgic appeal.
- Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex: A striking card with strong gameplay potential.
These cards, alongside 16 Pokémon ex, 11 Illustration Rares, and 3 Hyper Rare gold-etched cards, boost the set’s investment potential.
Why Journey Together Stands Out
Journey Together combines nostalgia with modern gameplay, reviving Trainer’s Pokémon from classics like Gym Heroes. Its compact card pool increases the odds of pulling rare cards, making sealed products like Booster Boxes and ETBs attractive for investors. The set’s tie-in with iconic Trainers and competitive cards ensures lasting appeal. Visit Card Chill’s Pokémon page for updates on stock and pricing.
