It is now known that the next Pokémon TCG set to be released in English will be called “Ascended Heroes”. With a focus on Mega Dragonite, this special set will contain cards from the MEGA Dream set due to release later this month in Japan. Ascended Heroes will contain both new cards, and powerful reprints from a variety of recent releases.
Products from Ascended Heroes will be released in early 2026. Let’s see what the upcoming set has to offer...
Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Boxes
Mega Dragonite is the mascot of Ascended Heroes, and this can be clearly seen on the art of these Elite Trainer Boxes, where Dragonite is on full display, soaring through the sky using the wings sprouting from the back of its head.
These will contain a selection of Ascended Heroes boosters, a full art N’s Zekrom promo, a Dragonite coin, and card sleeves, as well as a bundle of energy cards and a selection of dice that can be used to track damage.
Ascended Heroes Booster Bundle
This Booster bundle will contain six Ascended Heroes boosters. The artwork indicates some of the reprints that we may be getting in the set, such as Mega Lucario ex, Pikachu ex in their Terra Crown from Surging Sparks, and a Mewtwo which could be Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex. There’s also a Mega Charizard Y here, implying that Mega Charizard X from Phantasmal Flames may soon have some competition on its hands.
Premium Poster Collection
These premium poster collections look pretty artsy and exciting. With two options available, you’ll receive either a Mega Lucario ex, or a Mega Gardevoir ex promo card, with Japanese text splashed across the artwork, crying out the name of their most powerful attack. You’ll also receive a poster with the same artwork that’s displayed on the card. Then there’ll be ten booster packs to help you gather more ascended heroes.
Trainer's 2 Pack Blister - Larry's Komola
Blister Packs in Ascended Heroes will contain the exasperated Elite Four member Larry's Komola. This card currently has not been revealed. Alongside the Komola, there will also be two boosters, and a coin depicting Larry.
Blister Packs are designed to provide a low-cost expansion to your Pokémon card collection.
Tech Sticker Collection
An Ascended Heroes Tech Sticker Collection will contain three boosters, alongside either a Charmander, or a Gastly, and a sticker of either Mega Charizard Y or Mega Gengar. These tech stickers are designed to go on laptops, tablets, and other devices to show off your passion for Pokémon. These collections offer an influx of new cards, along with some pre-evolved mons with the potential to evolve into powerful heavy hitters.
Mini-Tins
Five variant artwork tins have been shown off, featuring some absolutely adorable artwork of cheerful Pokémon frolicking in the fields. If the past is any indication, these mini-tins will contain two boosters, along with a sticker that will match the cover art of the tin. If you collect them all and line up their artwork,it should form an idyllic countryside panorama.
