Pokemon Japan Release Schedule 2027: Every Date and Its Status

The Official Entries: M6a, Card Set and Delta Reign

Three products have official dates. Each is a different kind of entry, and that difference matters when judging the reported ones.

30th CELEBRATION (M6a): September 16, 2026

The pokemon-card.com product page for 拡張パック「30th CELEBRATION」 prints the release date as September 16, 2026 (Wednesday), a pack price of ¥360 and six foil 张/包, with one Basic Energy per pack. The key-visual copy reads 「世界同時発売」, worldwide simultaneous release. That is the one set in this schedule that is already out, and it sets the pattern for how a Japanese product date reaches the official site, covered in the announcement section below.

30th CELEBRATION Card Set: October 16, 2026

The nine Card Set products each list a release date of Friday, October 16, 2026 and a price of ¥1,200 (tax included). Each set contains three foil promo cards, two 30th CELEBRATION booster packs and a paper card stand; the nine names follow the starter Pokémon of nine regions. A collection file and a refill sheet carry the same October 16 date on the official goods list. This is a promotional product, not an expansion, so it adds no main-set cards to the calendar.

Mega Evolution—Delta Reign (English): November 6, 2026

The pokemon.com set page prints “November 06, 2026” and lists the series as Mega Evolution. It gives the size as over 135 cards, with more than 20 Trainer cards and more than 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations, and names Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golurk ex, Mega Malamar ex and Mega Golisopod ex as featured cards. The news article that announced the set carries the date August 20, 2026, 78 days before release. As of September 30, 2026, the set page printed no product list, no retail price and no pack configuration, and Bulbapedia’s page for the set says the English expansion draws on the Japanese Storm Emeralda set and the 2026 Japanese ex Starter Sets (Bulbapedia, as of September 30, 2026).

MEGA x MEGA Parade: February 19, 2027 and the Placeholders

MEGA x MEGA Parade (MEGA x MEGA パレード) has a name, a reported date and four cards. It has no product page. Pokébeach first reported the trademark on July 1, 2026, and on August 25, 2026 reported the release date, a price of ¥550 per pack, ten 张/包, and Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y as the featured Pokémon. It added that the date was presumably pushed from the usual November or December slot because of the September 30th Anniversary release.

Three Retailer Dates, None of Them an Announcement

Retailer dates for this set disagree with each other, which is the signal that they are placeholders. A Yahoo! Shopping JP listing shared in a screenshot on X printed a planned release of 2026/12/15 for a five-pack bundle, with the note that the image is illustrative. A Yahoo! store printed 2027/2/17 on its box and 5-pack listings, which is a Wednesday, and carried the disclaimer that the release date can change at the manufacturer’s convenience. A third retailer’s product page printed February 19, 2027 and stated that its release date and lineup “are based on currently available reports.” Three dates, three different days of the week, and none of them traces to an official page.

The full status record, with the four cards’ printed text and the open items, is in the confirmed versus reported tracker, and the set overview is in the MEGA x MEGA Parade release date and price hub. This schedule only places the set on the calendar.

Past 高级包 Dates

The Parade date is the first reported 高级包 date outside the November–December window. The five earlier packs are all official, all on a Friday, and all priced at ¥550:

Pokébeach’s own framing, in its July 1 trademark article, was that 高级包 sets have historically released between November and early December. Its August 25 article put the Parade date in February instead. Because the pack is reported and not announced, the February date stays a report until an official page prints it.

Each of the first four packs was followed by an English special set, per Bulbapedia’s infobox dates: VSTAR Universe by Crown Zenith (January 20, 2023), Shiny Treasure ex by Paldean Fates (January 26, 2024), Terastal Fest ex by Prismatic Evolutions (January 17, 2025) and MEGA Dream ex by Ascended Heroes (January 30, 2026). Those pairings are history. No English counterpart of MEGA x MEGA Parade had been announced as of October 1, 2026. The high class pack history article carries the full pack-by-pack record.

The Run-Up Products We List

The sets in this schedule that have already released are the ones listed in our Japanese range. The MEGA Dream ex box is the closest released relative of the Parade pack: same product line, same ¥550 pack format, and the set that introduced the Mega Attack Rare rarity the Parade cards use.

The same set is also listed as two Damaged Box products, which are separate listings from the No Shrink box above: the M2A Damaged Box is currently listed at ¥11,977 (~$78) and the No Shrink Damaged Box at ¥11,490 (~$75). The top card of the set’s secret block, the PSA 10 Mega Gengar ex SAR 240/193, is currently listed at ¥59,899 (~$389).

The two sets that bracket the official part of the schedule are listed too. The M6a 30th CELEBRATION booster box is currently listed in its No Shrink option at ¥25,365 (~$165), and the M6 Storm Emeralda booster box, the Japanese set Bulbapedia names as a source of the English Delta Reign (as of September 30, 2026), is currently listed in its No Shrink option at ¥9,380 (~$61).
