Pokémon TCG Pocket adds Mega Evolution EX

One of the biggest and most gamebreaking additions to Pokémon TCG Pocket are the new Mega Evolution EX cards. These new cards, according to early footage, will allow your opponent to draw “Prize Cards” after defeating them, along with presumably being worth two points as other EX cards are. So far, all we have seen are Mega Lucario EX and Mega Gardevoir EX, however, there may be more cards like this on the way in the future.

Either way, these cards look to be incredibly tanky while still packing an incredible punch. However, we’ll have to wait until they go live on February 28, 2025 before we know exactly how they function.
