News has reached us of a fresh leak in the world of Pokémon TCG, unveiling an upcoming set named “Inferno X” that has set the fan community abuzz. This set, teased through a newly uncovered trademark, is rumored to bring back the exciting Mega Evolutions first introduced in Pokémon X and Y for the Nintendo 3DS. Anticipation is high, with the set speculated to hit the shelves in Japan around October or November 2025.
The year 2025 is shaping up to be a thrilling time for Pokémon TCG enthusiasts, heralding a series of expansions that promise to keep collectors on their toes. Come May 2025, the eagerly awaited Destined Rivals expansion will make its debut, flaunting a stunning array of over 240 cards. Meanwhile, fans won’t have long to wait for the Black Bolt and White Flare sets, slated for a summer release, with June being the current target. Additionally, the emerging buzz around another Mega Evolution set adds to the excitement expected later in the year in Japan.
The Pokémon Company has recently registered a trademark for “Inferno X” in Japan, a move first spotted by PokeBeach. Fans are speculating that this could signal the impending arrival of a new Pokémon TCG set featuring iconic Mega Evolutions like Mega Charizard X and other fan favorites from the Pokémon X and Y games. Typically, trademarks precede the actual set releases by six to nine months, yet it’s not uncommon for them to emerge out of sequence. Until an official announcement is made by The Pokémon Company, any projected release schedule for these sets remains speculative.
The Pokémon Presents event on February 27 announced two new sets—Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia—set to launch in August, highlighting renowned Mega Pokémon like Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir. These collections inaugurate the Mega Evolution series for the year, with more expected as we approach the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A on the Nintendo Switch. Given Mega Charizard’s confirmed role in the new game, its inclusion in these trading card sets seems a likely bet.
Although the distribution schedule for the Mega Evolution series outside Japan remains a mystery, The Pokémon Company has assured fans that Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia will be accessible worldwide in 2025. They’re ramping up Pokémon TCG production to meet soaring demand and plan to replenish stocks of previous releases available at the Pokémon Center’s online store and popular retailers like GameStop.
