Mighty Mega Evolution Pokémon ex are coming to the Pokémon Trading Card Game in a big way in the upcoming expansion, Mega Evolution. We wanted to share an early look at two of those new cards, Mega Venusaur ex and Mega Kangaskhan ex, along with some of the other cards that will be available in this exciting collection of cards. How will these Pokémon and their new attacks change the game? Start formulating your strategies now, then test them out when Mega Evolution arrives on September 26, 2025.
This bold, beautiful special illustration rare card shows off Mega Venusaur ex in all its botanical glory. It’s not just pretty though—this Mega Evolution Pokémon is ready to throw down. Your opponent will take quite a hit from Mega Venusaur ex’s Jungle Dump attack. At a cost of four 
Energy, it may take a little effort before you can use it, but once you do, the attack will do 240 damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon and heal 30 damage from Mega Venusaur ex. Plus, its Solar Transfer Ability can help get all that Energy onto this card. The Ability allows you to move a Basic Energy from one of your Pokémon to another as often as you like during your turn. That powerful Jungle Dump might be ready to use before your opponent knows it!
Mother and child are rarin’ for battle on this Mega Kangaskhan ex special illustration rare card. You can feel the explosive energy blasting forth, which should come as no surprise considering the potential power of its Rapid-Fire Combo attack. For the cost of three 
Energy, this attack does an already impressive 200 damage, but it also allows you to flip a coin until you get tails. For every heads you get, the attack does an additional 50 damage. With a bit of luck, this combo could be truly devastating. Not only that, but Mega Kangaskhan ex’s Run Errand Ability lets you bolster your hand once each turn by allowing you to draw two cards if the Pokémon is in the Active Spot.
The lovable Celebi may not be a heavy hitter with this card (its Solar Cutter attack only does 30 damage), but its Traverse Time attack could prove invaluable for quickly getting the cards you need in your hand. For just one Energy, this attack lets you search your deck and bring three in any combination of Pokémon and Stadium cards into your hand. You’ll have your team ready to go in no time with the help of this cheerful little Mythical Pokémon.
If you thought that Celebi card was adorable, you are absolutely not prepared for a grinning Pachirisu bounding through tree branches that are covered with delicate pink blossoms. For such a cutie, though, this Pokémon packs quite a bite. Pachirisu’s Electrified Incisors attack may not look like much at first—it only does 10 damage—but it hides a devious aftereffect. Whenever your opponent attaches an Energy card from their hand to the Defending Pokémon during their next turn, that Pokémon gets hit with eight damage counters. Ouch!
Just what is Grafaiai contemplating as it strokes its chin and furrows its brow? We suspect trouble, but maybe it’s just thinking about its next masterpiece. Whatever its intentions, you can be sure that the Toxic Monkey Pokémon will annoy your opponent to no end with its Miraculous Paint attack. For one 
and one Energy, the attack does 90 damage and also has you flip a coin. If the coin lands on heads, you can choose a Special Condition to inflict upon your opponent’s Active Pokémon. Will you pick Asleep, Burned, Confused, Paralyzed, or Poisoned? Whatever your decision, your opponent is unlikely to be pleased.
You’ll find these and over 180 other cards when the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution expansion releases on September 26, 2025.
