The Pokémon Company has announced the upcoming arrival of the Pokémon Trading Card Game: XY expansion, which will be available in stores starting February 5th. A price of $3.99 for 10-card booster packs is confirmed for North America. You can already pre-order the Pokemon TCG XY boosters on Amazon.
Unlike the previous Kalos Starter booster pack released on November 8, 2013 that had 39 cards, this expansion will include over 140 new cards and new rules to incorporate features such as Mega Evolution.
Below is a description from the official website, explaining how the Mega Evolutions from Pokémon X & Y will work in Pokémon TCG: XY.
Before playing a Mega Evolution Pokémon to evolve a Pokémon-EX , players must consider the situation carefully—doing so ends their turn immediately, which means they can’t attack that turn! The risky move is worth the reward, however, because Mega Evolution Pokémon exhibit a strength that surpasses that of Pokémon-EX . Hard-hitting attacks and high HP totals make Mega Evolution Pokémon dominant during Pokémon TCG matches.
Features of the Pokémon TCG: XY expansion include:
- 2 all-new Mega Evolution Pokémon
