Mega Absol and Mega Mawile Make Explosive Return to Pokémon TCG
The Pokémon Trading Card Game just got a thrilling new boost—two brand-new Mega Evolution cards have been revealed in Japan, and they’re already stirring major hype among competitive players and collectors alike. That’s right— Mega Absol ex and Mega Mawile ex have officially entered the spotlight, bringing raw power and game-altering abilities with them.
Let’s talk about what makes these two Pokémon such standout additions. First up, Mega Absol ex —the perfect mix of style and strategy. With 280 HP and a dramatic edge to its design, Absol returns with some serious intent. One of its attacks, Doom Period , is an instant knockout move—but here’s the twist: it only activates if the opposing Pokémon has exactly six damage counters. It’s not a simple condition to pull off, but it makes for incredibly strategic gameplay. Players are already thinking about how to land that precise 60 damage, with many pointing to Munkidori as the perfect setup partner.

Absol’s second move, Cruel Claw , hits for 200 damage and also lets you peek at your opponent’s hand to discard a card. That kind of dual threat—damage and disruption—could make Mega Absol a real contender in the current meta. It’s already being touted as a strong counter against top-tier decks like Gardevoir.
Now onto Mega Mawile ex , the steel-type menace with a massive 270 HP. Mawile’s first attack, Greedily Devour , grows stronger as you claim prize cards. At zero prizes taken, it’s harmless—but as you near victory, it ramps up to a jaw-dropping 500 damage. That’s endgame potential in one hit. Mawile’s other move, Big Bite , deals 260 damage—but only if the opponent’s Pokémon is untouched. If it’s already damaged? You’re only doing 30. That adds a layer of tactical planning and timing—if you play your cards right (literally), this attack could turn the tide of a close match.
What’s especially exciting is how these new Mega Evolution cards fit into the broader TCG ecosystem. With the Mega Symphonia and Mega Brave sets landing in Japan on August 1, and the English version Mega Evolution set coming in September, the stage is set for some of the most intense and creative deck-building we’ve seen in years. And before that, we’ve still got Black Bolt and White Flare to look forward to.
Whether you're a competitive battler or a collector on the hunt for the next must-have cards, these Mega Evolutions are making it a great time to be a Pokémon fan. So keep your eyes peeled—because Mega Absol and Mega Mawile are about to change the game.
