The latest Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Mega Evolution, arrives September 26, 2025, but you can visit your local game store to play with it early! Starting September 13, 2025, select retailers will begin selling the Mega Evolution Build & Battle Box, giving fans a chance to have a Prerelease battle and experience the latest expansion before its official release date.The Prerelease format allows players to compete using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play, as opposed to a 60-card deck with six Prize cards. This format is perfect for introducing new players to the exciting world of the Pokémon TCG with quick, fun games, and it also gives seasoned players a window into all that Mega Evolution has to offer. Due to the limited card pool and the variance of cards that can be acquired in a Build & Battle Box, Prerelease events are also a great opportunity to flex your creative deck-building muscles.
Each Build & Battle Box includes four Mega Evolution booster packs and a 40-card ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior sets as well as one of four unique foil promo cards. Depending on which promo card you get, you could be playing with the marvelous Meganium, the sniping Inteleon, the brainy Alakazam, or the lunar cycling Lunatone.
This is an all ages event. Each Build & Battle Box is $21.99 + tax.
