PRE-RELEASE: Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution - Chaos Rising Build and Battle - 05/14/2026 @7:00 PM

Get an early look at the highly-anticipated Mega Evolution — Chaos Rising expansion before its official release! In a Pokémon TCG Prerelease event, trainers from all experience levels are invited to open brand-new cards, build their own decks, and battle it out in a fun, sealed tournament format. 

At the event, each player receives a Prerelease Build & Battle kit that includes:
• A 40-card ready-to-play deck you can customize
• Four Chaos Rising booster packs to open and add to your deck
• A promo foil card unique to prerelease kits
• A digital code card for Pokémon TCG Live 

After deck construction, participants can try out some of the new cards in a Swiss-style tournament, typically best-of-one rounds, to enjoy exciting new strategies found in Chaos Rising. Competing in this event typically rewards participants with extra Chaos Rising booster packs to take home to further add to their collection.

Prereleases are one of the best ways to experience a brand-new set — giving you a first look at cards like Delphox, amped-up Ampharos, cunning Crobat, or good-natured Goodra, and more before the set’s official launch.
