Seven-card pool revealed for Japanese Gym events
The Pokémon Card Game’s Japanese site has revealed the contents of MEGA series Promo Card Pack 6. Distribution begins on 1 November 2026 at Pokémon Card Gyms across Japan, where packs are offered through eligible local events such as Gym Battles. Each pack contains one randomly selected card from a seven-card pool.
The headline reveal is Mega Heatran ex. Its ability reduces attack damage it takes by 60 while it is at full HP, and the official announcement says its Gigantic Press attack can reach 280 damage on a consecutive use. The page also previews Harujio, a Supporter that can restore up to 150 HP depending on a coin flip, and new illustrations of Golett and Gastly.
Event participation determines how packs are distributed
The seven-card lineup also includes Hariyama, Energy Recycler and Muk, which the official page identifies as reprints. Gym Battle participants receive one pack as a participation prize during the distribution period; additional packs are listed for the winner and, at events with at least nine participants, the winner of a rock-paper-scissors contest. Deck-as-is Battle participants can also receive a pack, with an Eevee promo listed separately as another participation prize.
The page notes that prizes are limited and may change without notice. The announcement is for Japan’s Pokémon Card Gyms and does not confirm distribution through Pokémon Leagues or retailers in other regions. International collectors should wait for announcements from their own regional Pokémon TCG channels rather than assume the same pack will be available locally.
A local event promo, not a global product launch
Promo Card Pack 6 is positioned as an event reward rather than a conventional booster product. Its one-card random format means obtaining a specific card depends on the pack pool and local prize rules, while the 1 November start date gives Japanese players a concrete point to check participating Gym Battle schedules.
The announcement does not list a retail price or a global release plan. Players in Japan should confirm event details and remaining prize stock with their local Pokémon Card Gym before attending.
