Pokémon has filed a trademark for MEGA x MEGA Parade (MEGA x MEGA パレード), under the categories it uses for TCG set names. The name reads like Japan's next High Class Pack — not confirmed, but a strong lead.
What it is
A trademark, not an announcement — filed in the class that has held TCG set names before, which is how names surface six months to a year early. Names can shift: Terastal Festival ex was filed without the "ex," and some filings never ship.
High Class Packs are Japan's premium end-of-block sets — mostly block reprints plus new special-illustration cards, named after the era's mechanic (MEGA Dream ex, Terastal Festival ex, VSTAR Universe). "MEGA x MEGA" fits the Mega Evolution block; "Parade" echoes Terastal Festival.
When could it release?
No date, and no obvious gap. High Class Packs usually land in November–December, but Aura Seeker already holds late November 2026 — so expect 2027, or a shuffled calendar (the MEGA block has already scrapped subsets and launched 30th Celebration worldwide at once).
