Year in progress. This page reflects releases and card data documented through 26 October 2026. Set and card counts will change as the year continues, and announced products are listed with their stated release date, not treated as shipped.
Japan · 2026
This page covers all 609 Japanese cards of 2026, in five products on 5 release days. The English edition of the same year is a separate page with its own 819 cards — the two share one release date, and 103 cards.
Five products, 609 cards, and the year the thirtieth anniversary is spent on a set that prints thirty Pikachu and thirty reprints instead of a new mechanic.
2026 is the MEGA generation’s first full year, and it holds its shape. All five Japanese products — M3 in January, M4 in March, M5 in May, M6 in July and the anniversary set in September — sit on the same frame. M3, M4, M5 and M6 are built to one template: 12 Mega Evolution cards and 21 Pokémon ex inside the numbered set, and exactly 37 secret cards behind it (12 Art Rare, 18 Ultra Rare, 6 Special Art Rare, one Mega Hyper Rare). Across the year 48 cards carry a Mega Evolution tag, and the highest HP printed is 380, on Wailord ex.
Two mechanics stay dead, and one product leaves the template entirely. No Japanese card in 2026 is Tera and none is ACE SPEC — the counts are published as 0 and 0. What the year does instead is look backwards: M6a 30th CELEBRATION is 141 cards, and only 103 of them are an ordinary numbered set. Thirty of those are Pikachu, one per illustrator, marked 01/30 to 30/30 on the card; 38 secret cards are reprints, one per era — a 40 HP Pikachu, Charizard, Shining Celebi, Dark Tyranitar, an LV.X, a LEGEND, a BREAK, a GX, a V, a VMAX and a VSTAR — and 8 basic Energy cards have no card number at all.
Every card below is the Japanese printing, with its Japanese scan, its Japanese name, and an English reading of the type, HP, stage, retreat cost, attacks, Ability and illustrator. Numbers are read off the card, not estimated.
Cards are grouped by the product they were sold in, in release order, and numbered as the card is numbered. Secret cards sit at the end of their product, in the order the set prints them — which for the anniversary set means card numbers 136 to 165, because 104 to 135 do not exist.
This page documents 609 main-series cards across five products on five release dates in 2026. It covers cards printed in Japan only; printings for other editions are tracked separately. The year is still in progress; these records run to 2026-09-16 and are extended as new products are documented.

M3 ムニキスゼロ opens the year at 117 cards — 80 numbered and 37 secret — with 12 Mega Evolution cards inside the numbered set. Nine days later English begins its year with a product that has nothing to do with it.
English starts with last year’s set. me02.5 Ascended Heroes lands at 295 cards and 185 of them are the English printing of Japan’s November 2025 compilation — the largest English product of the year, and the only one built out of the previous year.
M4 ニンジャスピナー arrives at 120 cards, 83 numbered plus 37 secret — the same architecture as January, and the year’s biggest Japanese pack.
Japan and English ship on the same day for the first time in the year. Japan puts out M5 アビスアイ (118 cards) and English puts out me04 Chaos Rising (122 cards) — built from March’s Japanese set, not this one. Not a single card is printed in both languages on 22 May.
M6 ストームエメラルダ closes the ordinary run at 113 cards, 76 numbered plus 37 secret. It is the one product of the year with no English printing inside the year: all 113 cards stay Japanese-only in this record.
The anniversary set ships in both languages on the same day, and 103 cards are the same card. Japan’s M6a 30th CELEBRATION (141 cards) and English’s 30th Celebration (158 cards) arrive together — but they are not the same product: only the 103 numbered cards overlap. Japan’s 38 secret cards are the era reprints, which English did not print; English’s thirty secret cards are full-art redrawings, which Japan did not print.
117 cards in total: 80 numbered and 37 secret, 5 cards to a pack. The official product page is JavaScript-rendered and gave no price this pass, so the retail price is left blank rather than guessed. The number printed on the card face runs to /080.
2026-01-23. 117 cards — 91 Pokémon, 23 Trainers and 3 Energy, 21 Pokémon ex, 12 Mega Evolution.
January, and the first pack of the MEGA generation’s first full year. 80 numbered plus 37 secret: twelve Mega Evolution ex cards inside the numbered set, and the secret block that all four of this year’s expansion packs share — 12 Art Rare, 18 Ultra Rare, 6 Special Art Rare and one gold Mega Hyper Rare.

Also released this year: English edition.
Storm Emerald is the year’s one loose end. 113 Japanese cards from July have no English printing inside 2026; the English set that carries them is scheduled after the year ends, which is why they are listed here as Japanese-only rather than given a date this page cannot check.
The anniversary set is the other. Its thirty era reprints and eight basic Energy cards are not scheduled for English at all: the English anniversary product replaced that block with its own full-art cards, so those 38 cards are a Japanese-only printing rather than a late one.
What 2026 settles is that a generation can hold still. Four expansion packs to one template, two mechanics left switched off, and the anniversary spent on thirty Pikachu and thirty reprints rather than on a new card type. The only genuine surprise is structural: for the first time since this record began, the two languages print the same cards on the same day.
Release dates and product identities are connected to the Japanese edition release register by set code. Sources are printed per product so a reader can check the claim without trusting this page alone. Unmatched products say so instead of borrowing another edition’s citation.
M3 verified_secondaryM4 verified_secondaryM5 verified_secondaryM6 verified_secondaryM6a verified_secondaryAll 609 cards of the five Japanese releases are listed, and none of them is rounded. Every card carries its own row — 423 numbered and 186 secret.
The Japanese printing is the first-hand source here. Type, HP, retreat cost, attacks and Ability text are read off the Japanese card page; the English line beside each field is the official English wording where an English printing exists, and a translation of what is printed where it does not.
Where a card also exists in English, the English printing supplies the wording. 103 cards were printed in English on the same day — all of them on 22 May, 16 September — 352 follow in English later, and 154 have no English printing in 2026 at all: 113 from July’s Storm Emerald and 46 from the anniversary set, plus 3 Art Rare cards from the first three packs whose English sets chose a different illustrator for that slot.
131 cards carry no rarity, and every one of them is in the anniversary set. That set prints a rarity symbol only on the ex cards of its numbered run — ten cards, all RR — so the other 131 cards have a blank field. It stays blank: the card face does not carry a symbol, and borrowing one from the English card of the same name would put a rank on screen that the Japanese printing never gave it.
48 cards carry a Mega Evolution tag, and every one of them is in M3 to M6. The four expansion packs hold 12 each; the anniversary set holds none, because its secret block is thirty reprints of the eras before Mega Evolution existed.
Tera and ACE SPEC are both zero this year, and the zero is published rather than smoothed over. 0 Tera Pokémon and 0 ACE SPEC cards across 609 Japanese cards — the second consecutive year without either.
195 artists signed 609 cards, and 148 of the cards sit above Rare — 48 Art Rare, 72 Ultra Rare, 24 Special Art Rare and 4 Mega Hyper Rare. The highest HP printed all year is 380, on Wailord ex, and it appears twice: once numbered, once as a secret.
Five products, 609 cards, 95 Pokémon ex and 48 Mega Evolution cards, and a year that keeps its frame and gives the anniversary to thirty Pikachu.
