2026 marks the 30th anniversary of Pokémon. While we expect a huge celebratory campaign to come from Pokémon Day next month, you can already dive into the fun with the latest Pokémon TCG set, Ascended Heroes.

Coming in at just under 300 cards, Ascended Heroes is the largest Pokémon TCG English set ever. With this, a wide variety of special art cards have been illustrated. Iconic partners such as Steven’s Metagross, N’s Zoroark, and Team Rocket’s Mewtwo make an appearance. Joining them is new Mega Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, including the three fully-evolved starters. Collector highlights include the debut of Mega Dragonite, two new gold cards, and a ghastly rendition of Mega Gengar.

Pokémon TCG: Ascended Heroes has just arrived via the Pokémon Center, select retailers, and local card shops with packs available via thematic boxes and bundles. For a complete breakdown of every card included in the new sets, be sure to check out the official card gallery for Ascended Heroes.
