The release of the Mega Rising expansion in late October dramatically shifted the competitive landscape of the Pokemon TCG, but it seems that was just the first step. The upcoming Crismon Blaze expansion will introduce even more powerful Mega Evolutions, such as Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blastoise, and Mega Venusaur.
For the first time ever, Blastoise and Venusaur are getting the special ‘ex’ card treatment in the Pokemon TCG Pocket set, which is great news for fans of the original Pokemon games! If you’re eager to start collecting, here are the official release times for the Crimson Blaze expansion.

I was just checking the official Pokémon website, and it says the new Crimson Blaze booster packs will be released at 10:00 p.m. PST on December 16th! If you’re in Europe or Asia, you’ll get them on December 17th instead. They even have a handy chart on the site if you want to find out the exact release time for your specific time zone.
What New Cards Are in the Crimson Blaze Themed Booster Pack?
So far, the biggest news for the upcoming Crimson Blaze set is the inclusion of Mega Charizard, Mega Venusaur, and Mega Blastoise cards. But there’s more to look forward to! A new Charmander card will be available, capable of dealing 40 damage with just two energy, which could be a great addition to decks already using the Charizard ex card from Shining Revelry. Players using Stage 1 Grass-type Pokémon like Exeggutor ex might also find the Quick-Grow extract card helpful, potentially allowing for 80 damage as early as their second turn.
