The Pokémon TCG: XY expansion set was released on February 5th, 2014. Pictures from the press release have been added to an Imageboard thread.

Pokémon TCG: XY

The revolutionary Mega Evolution game mechanic is coming to the brand-new Pokémon TCG: XY expansion! Mega Evolution Pokémon evolve from Pokémon-EX, extremely powerful cards in their own right, creating a force that will change the way Pokémon TCG players build decks and create strategies for battle.

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
• 6 new Pokémon-EX
• Pokémon TCG Online code cards
• Over 140 cards in all!

Pokémon TCG: XY Introduces Mega Evolution to Extremely Powerful Pokémon-EX Cards

New Mega Evolution Game Mechanic Will Revolutionise Pokémon TCG Strategy
London, UK—October 15, 2013—Mega Evolution, what could be described as an Evolution beyond all Evolutions, is changing the landscape of battles in the recently launched Pokémon X and Pokémon Y video games for the Nintendo 3DS. This revolutionary game mechanic is also coming to the brand-new Pokémon Trading Card Game: XY expansion when 10-card booster packs arrive at retail in The UK in February, 2014. Mega Evolution Pokémon evolve from Pokémon-EX, extremely powerful cards in their own right, creating a force that will change the way Pokémon TCG players build decks and create strategies for battle.

Before players Mega Evolve a Pokémon like Venusaur-EX or Blastoise-EX, they must consider the situation carefully because doing so ends their turn immediately, which means they can’t attack. The risky move is worth the reward, however, because Mega Evolution Pokémon exhibit a strength that surpasses Pokémon-EX. Hard-hitting attacks and high HP totals make Mega Evolution Pokémon dominant during Pokémon TCG matches.

Look out for the Pokémon TCG: XY expansion, including powerful Pokémon-EX cards, in February, 2014. The Pokémon TCG: XY—Kalos Starter Set, featuring new Fairy-type Pokémon, the first Pokémon type in the Pokémon TCG to have resistance to Darkness-type Pokémon, launches November 8, 2014. Each XY—Kalos Starter Set deck and XY booster pack will include a code card that unlocks virtual cards for the Pokémon TCG Online.

Union J have announced that they will be changing their group name to Union XY on October 12th, 2013 to celebrate the releases of Pokémon X and Y. The UK boy band consists of: George Shelley, Josh Cuthbert, JJ Hamblett and Jaymi Hensley and was formed during the 2012 season of The X Factor UK. Our imageboard has pictures from the press release.

Press Release

London, UK—October 4th, 2013: In a move that reflects their enthusiasm for everything Pokémon, Union J have announced today that they will change their name to Union XY to mark the launch of the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y video games for Nintendo 3DS™, on October 12th.

For one day only, Union J will celebrate the release of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y with their name change to Union XY—a suggestion made by band member George Shelley and supported by his band mates. The official press announcement was made today (October 4th) at the Charlotte Street Hotel in London, where the band revealed the news to a packed press conference.

“We’ve always loved Pokémon and it was a massive part of my childhood, I’m hooked on it,” explained George. “When I was telling the rest of the band how excited I was about playing Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, the idea to change our name just came to me. It’s so cool to be part of the game in some way; it feels like a natural fit.”

Josh, Jaymi, George, and JJ are all fans of Pokémon and are familiar with each generation of Pokémon games. During the filming of the X Factor, Josh and George brought Nintendo DS™ systems to play Pokémon Black, JJ loves Pokémon Emerald, and Jaymi’s favourite game is Pokémon Crystal.

The official name change will happen on October 12th, the same day as Pokémon X and Pokémon Y release exclusively on Nintendo 3DS.

For further updates on Union XY, take a look at their Twitter page: @UnionJWorld.

The Nintendo World website has confirmed that a special preview event will take place at the Nintendo World store on October 5th, 2013 from 12pm until 2pm Eastern.

During today's special Pocket Monsters THE ORIGIN ( ポケットモンスター THE ORIGIN), a special announcement was shown and it revealed Mega Charizard X.

Mega Charizard X	Mega Charizard Y
Species: Flame Pokémon Type: Fire/Dragon Ability: Tough Claws Height: 5' 07" Weight: 243.6 lbs.	Species: Flame Pokémon Type: Fire/Flying Ability: Drought Height: 5' 07" Weight: 221.6 lbs.

Mega Charizard X Revealed in Pokémon X

Last month it was revealed that fan favourite Charizard can achieve Mega Evolution, an extremely powerful form that only certain Pokémon can access during battles in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y video games, launching worldwide October 12 for the Nintendo 3DS. It is now known that Charizard can Mega Evolve into either Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y, depending on which Mega Stone it holds—Charizardite X or Charizardite Y. When Charizard Mega Evolves into Mega Charizard X, its body turns black and its flames burn blue with increased heat. It also changes types when it Mega Evolves, changing from a Fire- and Flying-type Pokémon to a Fire- and Dragon-type Pokémon!

The previously revealed Mega Charizard is in fact Mega Charizard Y. Players will need to obtain Charizardite Y in Pokémon Y in order to Mega Evolve Charizard into Mega Charizard Y. Mega Charizard Y’s Special Attack increases significantly, and its Ability changes to Drought, increasing the power of Fire-type moves. Mega Charizard Y can use the Fire-type move Blast Burn, which becomes even more powerful with the effect of the Drought Ability.

Mega Charizard X is being introduced for the first time today. Players can obtain Charizardite X in Pokémon X and Mega Evolve Charizard into Mega Charizard X. Mega Charizard X’s Attack increases significantly, and its Ability changes to Tough Claws, which raises the power of moves that make direct contact. This Ability comes in handy when Mega Charizard X uses the Dragon-type move Dragon Tail, which does damage and can force an opposing Pokémon to switch out during battle.

The Pokémon Company International is sharing a gameplay trailer featuring Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y in action.

The official Pokémon website has revealed that the Pokémon Global Link service will be offered to existing players bonuses when they log in to the new PGL with their current PGL account and register a copy of Pokémon X or Pokémon Y. Below are the full details

Press Release - Announcing Bonuses for Existing PGL Players Who Play on the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y PGL

September 20, 2013　The Pokémon Company - Thank you for your continued support of the Pokémon Global Link (PGL)! As we announced on July 1, 2013, the Pokémon Global Link site for Pokémon Black Version, Pokémon White Version, Pokémon Black Version 2, and Pokémon White Version 2 will begin to close down later this year. We are happy to reveal that bonuses will be offered to existing players when they log in to the new PGL with their current PGL account and register a copy of Pokémon X or Pokémon Y.

Exchange Dream Points for Poké Miles Automatically

Current PGL players will receive Poké Miles in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y PGL depending on how many Dream Points they have.

Poké Miles can be used in the PokéMileage Club (launching soon) to play in attractions or to receive items in the shop. These items can then be sent back to Pokémon X or Pokémon Y games via Game Sync.

Poké Miles can also be accumulated by playing Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. These Poké Miles are sent to the PGL via Game Sync, and can then be used in the PokéMileage Club. More details about acquiring Poké Miles will be announced when at the opening of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y PGL.


Your Dream Points are calculated by combining the Dream Points from all games registered to your current PGL account. To be specific, if you have Pokémon Black Version, Pokémon White Version, Pokémon Black Version 2, and Pokémon White Version 2 registered to your account, your Dream Points will be calculated by combining the total amount of Dream Points from each game.

The number of Poké Miles will be determined based on the combined total of Dream Points from all games registered to your current PGL account, and that number of Poké Miles will be given to copies of both Pokémon X and Pokémon Y that are registered to your account.

For example, if you qualified to receive 10,000 Poké Miles, you would receive 10,000 Poké Miles when you register a copy of Pokémon X or Pokémon Y and another 10,000 Poké Miles if you registered the other version to your account as well, for a total of 20,000 Poké Miles.

Special Medal Awards

Based your accomplishments in the current PGL, you may be awarded special Medals in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y PGL. You may also receive Medals depending on what you accomplish in your game and in the new PGL. These Medals are not available in the game, and can be checked only in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y PGL.

The commemorative Medals awarded to existing PGL players will be exclusive to them and cannot be obtained through other means.


Global Battle Union (GBU) - Placed in the top 100 overall ranking in a GBU Season. The current season, Season 10, is excluded as it will not have a ranking.

Wi-Fi Competitions - Obtained a ranking in a Wi-Fi Competition (a different Medal depending on how many times)

All the numbers above are calculated by taking the combined total of the numbers from all games registered to your current PGL account. Details about the Medals you receive can be checked on the Medals page in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y PGL. Medals you receive as a result of your accomplishments in the current PGL will be given to both Pokémon X and Pokémon Y if you register both to your account.

The Pokémon Company International released a press statement today revealing the international names of the evolved forms of Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie and also announced more Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Below is the press release.

Press Release - Evolved Forms of Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie and More Mega-Evolved Pokémon Revealed

It was recently announced that Mewtwo can achieve Mega Evolution, an extremely powerful form that only certain Pokémon can access during battles in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. It is now known that Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y, depending on which Mega Stone Mewtwo holds—Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y. The previously announced Mega Mewtwo is in fact Mega Mewtwo Y; Mega Mewtwo X is being introduced for the first time today. Players can obtain Mewtwonite X in Pokémon X and Mega Evolve Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo X, which gains the Fighting type to go along with its Psychic type. Players can Mega Evolve Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo Y, whose Special Attack is greatly boosted, by obtaining Mewtwonite Y in Pokémon Y. Both titles launch worldwide on October 12, 2013, for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

Mega Mewtwo X	Mega Garchomp
Species: Genetic Pokémon Type: Psychic/Fighting Ability: Steadfast Height: 7' 07" Weight: 280.0 lbs.	Species: Mach Pokémon Type: Dragon/Ground Ability: Sand Force Height: 6' 03" Weight: 209.4 lbs.

An already powerful Dragon and Ground-type Pokémon, Garchomp, can Mega Evolve into Mega Garchomp in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. The increased energy released by its Mega Evolution turns Mega Garchomp’s arms into huge blades that send out a furious attack. Mega Garchomp’s Attack and Special Attack are greatly increased after it Mega Evolves, so its Dragon-type move Dragon Claw becomes extra ferocious.

Evolved Forms of Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie Are Revealed!

Since the reveal earlier this year, Pokémon fans have debated which first partner Pokémon—Chespin, Fennekin, or Froakie—they are going to choose in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. Players are now getting a first look at their evolved forms, featured in a new gameplay trailer released today.

Braixen	Frogadier	Quilladin
Type: Fire	Type: Water	Type: Grass
Height: 3' 03" Weight: 32.0 lbs.	Height: 2' 00" Weight: 24.0 lbs.	Height: 2' 04" Weight: 63.9 lbs.
Ability: Blaze	Ability: Torrent	Ability: Overgrow
Species: Fox Pokémon	Species: Bubble Frog Pokémon	Species: Spiny Armor Pokémon

When Chespin evolves into Quilladin, the hard spikes on its body grow even sturdier, and it’s able to withstand the impact of even something the size of a tractor-trailer truck without flinching. Its solid shell repels attacks while it strikes back with its pointed spines. The gentle Spiny Armor Pokémon never seeks out battles on its own, but when an opposing Pokémon strikes, it fights back! It can learn the Ground-type move Mud Shot, which does damage to opponents and lowers their Speed. This move is super effective against Fire-type Pokémon, which are usually tough opponents for Grass types like Quilladin.

Braixen is the evolved form of the Fire-type Fox Pokémon Fennekin. Players will notice that Braixen keeps a small twig tucked into its tail. Fennekin often snacks on a twig, but Braixen uses it in another way—the twig calms its mind and is also sometimes used in battle after being set aflame with a little friction. Braixen can learn the Psychic-type move Psyshock, a special move that deals damage based on the opponent’s Defense, as if it were a physical move. Players will want to use Psyshock on opponents that have high Special Defense.

Froakie has awesome jumping skills that are greatly improved when it evolves into Frogadier. This Bubble Frog Pokémon can reach the top of a 2,000-foot tower with ease and eludes its opponents by leaping around ceilings or into trees. Frogadier can learn the Flying-type move Bounce, which sends the user into the air on its first turn so it can attack on the second. Bounce is super effective against Grass-type Pokémon, which often pose a challenge for Water types like Frogadier.

Trainers Can Show Their Style!

In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, players can visit boutiques and a salon to change their Trainers’ outfits and hairstyles. You can change your clothes, hat, shoes, and accessories to show off your individual style and put together different looks. There are boutiques in many of the cities throughout the Kalos region, each with its own unique style. Adding to this customized feature, when players change their outfits and hairstyles, their icons on the Player Search System (PSS) update too!

Never-Before-Seen Pokémon That Possess Different Forms!

Some Pokémon in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y possess a number of different forms, some of which are being revealed for the very first time today.

The stylish Poodle Pokémon, Furfrou, can be groomed into a number of different appearances. The more it is groomed, the more styles may become available, some of which are being shown for the first time today. Players will be alerted to Furfrou’s grooming schedule, and if it’s left untended, its fur will grow long and shaggy, returning to Furfrou’s original look. This Pokémon is very intelligent and loyal to its Trainer, and it’s said that in ancient times Furfrou guarded the king of the Kalos region. Furfrou can learn Baby-Doll Eyes, a new Fairy-type move debuting in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y that allows its user to go first regardless of Speed and can lower the opponent’s Attack stat.

Meowstic is a never-before-seen Psychic-type Pokémon that has different forms depending on its gender. This expressionless Constraint Pokémon does not show emotion to others, but it seems that some Trainers love the unsociable front it puts on. Unlike other Pokémon that have different forms based on gender, the moves Meowstic can learn will differ based on whether it’s male or female. Male Meowstic can learn the Psychic-type move Miracle Eye, a move that allows future moves to hit regardless of the opponent's evasion, making it a powerful support in battle.. Female Meowstic are better at outright attacks and can learn the Psychic-type move Extrasensory, which not only does damage but can also cause the target to flinch so it can’t use moves on that turn.
