The Pokemon Trading Card Game has now had the next upcoming set revealed. The new set, titled Nihil Zero, is themed around Mega Zygarde and the various other monsters related to Pokemon Legends: Z-A. The set is planned to release in Japan on January 23, 2026, with only a small handful of cards having been revealed so far.
New Japanese Nihil Zero Set Revealed For Pokemon TCG
Pokemon TCG’s next Japanese set has been revealed under the title ‘Nihil Zero’, and is planned for a Japanese release on January 23, 2026. The set is the third expansion in the MEGA series, and is the first booster set to be based on the Legends: Z-A video game. Cards feature notable Pokemon and Mega forms from the game, with Mega Zygarde getting the spotlight on the pack artwork.
Nihil Zero booster packs will contain 5 cards, and a booster box will contain 30 booster packs. As is the case with most Japanese sets, it will likely be released as an English expansion at a later date. Usually, multiple Japanese sets combine to form one English set, so fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for further updates.
So far, only a handful of cards have been revealed for the Nihil Zero set in Pokemon TCG. These cards include the Mega Zygarde ex, a Meowth ex, Binacle and Barbaricle, and, of course, recognizable characters from the Z-A game, such as Tarragon and Naveen, as new Supporter cards.
