Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution – Pitch Black | The Coolest Cards We Pulled - Game Informer

What the report says

Game Informer published a gallery by Brian Shea on July 22, 2026, focused on the newly released Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Mega Evolution – Pitch Black. The outlet said it opened a large number of booster packs provided by The Pokémon Company to showcase notable cards pulled from the set, rather than presenting a traditional review or market analysis.

According to Game Informer, Pitch Black continues the Pokémon TCG’s Mega Evolution line and centers its packaging and theme around Mega Darkrai, with Mega Zeraora also given a major role. The set adds more than 115 cards to the game, including a strong Mega Evolution focus, more than 20 Trainer cards and over 35 special-illustration cards.

Shea wrote that the apparent top prize in the expansion is a gold Mega Darkrai ex, but said he did not pull that card. The gallery instead highlights more than 20 favorite pulls, including special-illustration cards for Goldeen and Delphox, along with multiple Zeraora and Silvally cards. The article also notes attention given to the Kalos starter Pokémon and their evolutions.

The release matters chiefly for Pokémon TCG players and collectors tracking new cards, artwork and chase pulls in the current Mega Evolution cycle. Based on Game Informer’s account, Pitch Black is available now, and the outlet directed readers to its broader Pokémon TCG coverage for more on the card game.
