Pokemon Ascended Heroes arrives January 2026!

The Mega Evolution - Ascended Heroes expansion look set to kick off 2026 in spectacular fashion. This set promises a thrilling collection of all-star Pokémon, including newly discovered Mega Evolutions, the introduction of Mega Dragonite ex, and a special focus on beloved Trainers. So, get ready, because here is everything you need to know about the cards, the products, and the Ascended Heroes.

Read on to find out more about this exciting release!

The set features Mega Evolution Pokémon showing off their biggest and boldest attacks, blending the nostalgia of the Mega mechanic with the current power of Pokémon ex. Ascended Heroes is confirmed to be a special, collector-focused set, meaning it will not be available in traditional booster boxes or individual packs.

This makes it a very exciting release to look forward to. Like Journey Together, Ascended Heroes is going to highlight many of our favourite Pokémon Trainers. Collectors can look forward to over 30 Trainer cards, including some stunning Special Illustration Rares. As always, the artwork looks incredible, and we have even seen a sneak peak at some of the most exciting cards!
