The sky is about to get a lot more crowded. Pokémon TCG Pocket’s Ruler of the Skies expansion — officially launching 30 July 2026 at 9 AM SGT — finally brings Mega Rayquaza ex to the digital card game, alongside new Mega Evolution heavyweights, a deck-sharing overhaul, and upgraded pull rates that reward dedicated collectors.
Mega Rayquaza ex and Every New Card Confirmed So Far
As we covered when Mega Rayquaza’s digital debut was first announced, this expansion is built around the Sky High Pokémon’s Mega Evolution arriving in Pocket for the first time. Here is what has been officially confirmed for Ruler of the Skies:
- Mega Rayquaza ex — 180 HP. Mega Burst attack requires discarding all Fire and Lightning Energy attached, dealing 50 damage per Energy discarded. No weakness. One-Energy retreat cost. High risk, enormous ceiling.
- Mega Metagross ex and Mega Gallade ex — Mega ex cards joining the Psychic and Fighting pools.
- Swanna ex and Dragonair — confirmed non-Mega entries.
- Mega Houndoom ex — available through a limited-time Drop Event after launch.
- Mega Lucario ex and Hitmonchan ex — obtainable via elite deck missions.
The Pokémon Company describes the expansion as: “Look up, and you might catch a glimpse of a fearsome Pokémon twisting through the night sky.”
Share Your Deck in Seconds — New QoL Feature
The expansion also ships a long-requested quality-of-life feature: deck sharing via 2D pattern codes. Build a winning deck, generate a code, and your friends or followers can import it directly — no manual card-by-card recreation. For Singapore’s growing competitive Pocket community, this makes it far easier to exchange meta builds and tournament-ready lists without third-party tools.
Alongside deck sharing, Ruler of the Skies introduces a new pull guarantee: when certain conditions are met while opening a booster pack, your next pack from the same expansion will contain a guaranteed ♦♦♦♦ (four-diamond) or higher rarity card. This is separate from the existing Wonder Pick system and gives collectors a meaningful safety net when chasing Mega ex pulls.
A third smaller-but-welcome change: if a card belongs to multiple booster sets, obtaining it now registers it across all corresponding packs in the card dex automatically — no duplicate hunting required.
Events and Cosmetics: What’s on After Launch
Starting Saturday, 1 August, new Menacing Mega Rayquaza-themed deck covers and backdrops unlock. An Emblem Event runs in early August, rewarding wins and completed missions with shinedust and exclusive emblems. Additional collection missions and Wonder Pick events carry through October.
