Fantastical Parade: Mega Gardevoir ex leads a grand celebration in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Fantastical Parade launched on January 29, 2026, kicking off the new year with one of Pokémon TCG Pocket's largest and most diverse expansions yet. With 183 unique cards (234 total) and a lineup headlined by Mega Gardevoir ex, Mega Swampert ex, Mega Mawile ex, Mega Kangaskhan ex, Mimikyu ex, and Teal Mask Ogerpon ex, this set feels like a festival of fan-favorite Pokémon.

Mega Gardevoir ex steals the show

Mega Gardevoir ex is the crown jewel of Fantastical Parade—a Psychic/Fairy-type powerhouse that evolves from one of the most beloved Pokémon in the franchise. As a 3-star rarity card, it sits at the very top of the set's collectibility, and its artwork reflects the elegance and power that Gardevoir is known for. This is the chase card of the expansion.

A Mega Evolution bonanza

Fantastical Parade continues the Mega Evolution trend established by Mega Rising and Crimson Blaze, adding four more Megas to the game. Mega Swampert ex brings Water/Ground-type power through the Mudkip evolution line. Mega Mawile ex adds Steel/Fairy-type versatility as a Basic Pokémon ex. Mega Kangaskhan ex offers a Normal-type option with a unique parent-child dynamic. Together with Mega Gardevoir, the set contributes significantly to the Mega Evolution meta.

Beyond Mega: Mimikyu ex, Ogerpon ex, and more

Not every star in this set is a Mega. Mimikyu ex is a Psychic-type fan favorite that brings its disguise-themed abilities to the digital TCG. Teal Mask Ogerpon ex represents the Kitakami region from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's DLC, marking one of the first times a Generation IX Legendary has appeared in TCG Pocket. Blacephalon ex, Alolan Ninetales ex, Toxtricity ex, and Gigalith ex round out a diverse ex roster that spans multiple generations.

Shiny Stars continue

The Shiny Star rarity tier returns with shiny versions of popular Pokémon from earlier sets: Flareon ex, Ho-Oh ex, Kingdra ex, Espeon ex, Sylveon ex, Donphan ex, Umbreon ex, and Lugia ex all appear in their shiny forms. These premium collectibles reward dedicated players and add long-term chase value beyond the main expansion.

183 cards of pure spectacle

At 183 unique cards, Fantastical Parade is one of the largest expansions in Pokémon TCG Pocket. The sheer variety—Mega Evolutions, Generation IX Legendaries, Ultra Beasts, Alolan forms, Shiny Stars, and a 3-star Mega Gardevoir ex—makes this feel like a celebration of everything the game has built over its first year-plus of existence. The "Parade" in the name is earned.

Start the year strong

Fantastical Parade sets the tone for 2026 in Pokémon TCG Pocket. With deep card variety, multiple Mega Evolutions, cross-generational representation, and premium rarity tiers, this expansion gives every type of player a reason to jump in. Whether you're a collector chasing the 3-star Mega Gardevoir, a battler looking for the next competitive edge, or a casual fan who just loves opening packs—Fantastical Parade delivers.
