Kraken Gaming Ltd presents our afternoon pre-release event for the new Pokémon TCG core set, “Pitch Black"! This will take place on Saturday 4th July 2026 at 2pm.
Twinkling city lights and a starry sky become obscured in darkness as Mega Darkrai ex arrives with mystery and malice! But Mega Zeraora ex fights back with thunderous strikes of lightning, leading the way for Mega Chandelure ex, Mega Excadrill ex, and more to join the fray. Shadows deepen and nightmares become reality in the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Pitch Black expansion!
Over 115 cards
More new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex
More than 20 Trainer cards
More than 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations
Pre-release events are a fun, casual tournament. Each player receives a Build & Battle kit containing one of four 40-card decks from the set (with exclusive promo card), as well as 4 booster packs.
