One year after Deluxe Pack: ex wrapped up the A series, Pokémon TCG Pocket is closing out the B series the same way with Deluxe Pack: Mega (set code B4b). This limited-time special pack gathers the highlights of every expansion released since October 2025, topped off with parallel foil cards and fresh artwork.
Release date and availability

Keep in mind that, like its predecessor, this pack won’t stay in the game. Once the window closes it leaves the app (Deluxe Pack: ex did make brief comebacks in January and August 2026, but no rerun has been announced for this one). Start saving your Pack Hourglasses now.
What’s inside Deluxe Pack: Mega
- 4 cards per pack instead of the usual 5.
- A guaranteed Pokémon ex in every pack: at least one card of ♦♦♦♦ rarity or higher.
- Reissued cards from Mega Rising (October 2025) through Ruler of the Skies (July 2026), including every ♦♦♦♦ card released in those booster packs.
- Parallel foil cards, the shimmering finish introduced with Deluxe Pack: ex.
- Cards with new artwork, including ★★ full-art versions of several Mega ex in a stained-glass style, echoing the first Deluxe Pack.
There are no new Mega Evolutions here — this one is all about collecting. Good news for completionists: a recent app update now files reissued cards under their original expansion, so opening this pack also helps you finish older sets.

A big update at the end of October
Right before the first C-series expansion, the app is getting a shake-up:
- Community decks: browse decks other players have made public and build them if you own the cards.
- Reworked rental decks: decks built with cards from the latest packs, usable an unlimited number of times in both Solo and Versus Battles.
- Step-up Battles rework: a solo mode where difficulty climbs as you progress; the old version is being retired.
- Several features are being discontinued: theme deck lists, deck missions and the Release Celebration: Poké Gold deals.
Should you open Deluxe Pack: Mega?
If you joined Pokémon TCG Pocket partway through the B series or you’re missing some Mega ex, this is the perfect catch-up opportunity: every pack guarantees a ♦♦♦♦ card or better, making it the most efficient pack for filling competitive gaps. Collectors will be chasing the parallel foils and new artwork instead — which may cost a lot of hourglasses. Don’t wait too long: the window closes on October 29.
