Pokémon TCG Pocket is about to get a big shake-up this fall with the introduction of Mega Evolutions, a classic feature from the physical TCG finally making its digital debut. Three Mega cards have already been revealed, signaling a fresh direction for the game that might change how you play.
Let’s talk about what this means. Mega Evolutions will hit the game during the autumn period, bringing with them a couple of unusual mechanics that aren’t typical in TCG Pocket yet. first, knocking out a Mega Evolution card nets you 3 points instead of the usual 1, which means an instant win in matches. That’s a huge deal and could turn games upside down fast.
Also, Megas can be Stage 1 or Stage 2 cards, and here’s the thing: they can evolve directly from their Basic or Stage 1 forms. That’s not something you see every day in this game, and it might mess with your usual strategies.

Known Cards
So far, three Mega cards have been revealed: Mega Altaria, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Blaziken. These point to a Gen 3-focused set, which is kinda cool if you’re into that era. All 46 Mega Evolutions from the series might be spread across both major and minor expansions, so plenty more could be on the way.
Here’s how their evolutions will work:
- Mega Altaria evolves directly from Swablu.
- Mega Gyarados evolves directly from Magikarp.
- Mega Blaziken evolves directly from Combusken.
Expect these Mega cards to pack a punch with HP values over 200, which is going to set a new bar for tankiness in TCG Pocket. Yikes, that’s gonna make matches last longer or end suddenly if you’re not careful.
Are these Mega Evolutions going to change the meta or just complicate things? I’m curious how players will adapt when a single knockout suddenly means an instant win. Guess we’ll find out soon enough.
Feel free to jump into the comments and share your thoughts on these Mega Evolutions. Do you think they’ll make the game more fun or just frustrating?
