Furthermore, the Pokémon company shared a new art style that will accompany several other Pokémon TCG rare cards, like Mega Lucario and Mega Gardevoir in the upcoming Mega Evolutions set.
Like the original Mega Pokemon, the upcoming new cards will have the Pokemon’s attack name written over the artwork. In English they will show the Japanese names while in Japanese they will show the English names.
Though not revealed at Pokémon Worlds, Mega Charizard Y is also expected to return to the TCG. Both renditions of Charizard will headline an upcoming set. According to Poke Beach, the set will be called ” Inferno X” and will release in Japan on September 26th.
