All 80 cards included in the upcoming Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game set Inferno X have now been revealed online ahead of their official release. Inferno X will be released in Japan on September 26; while this set isn’t coming directly to the West, it does give us some idea of what to expect from some of Pokémon‘s next upcoming English-language sets.
The 80 main set cards that make up Inferno X are now available for viewing on PokéBeach, a popular Pokémon news site that often leaks entire sets before they’re released in Japan. This marks Japan’s second Mega Evolution-focused set, after Mega Brave & Mega Symphonia back in August.
All Cards In Pokémon’s Inferno X Set Revealed
Mega Evolutions & More
As its name implies, Inferno X focuses on Mega Evolutions and Pokémon ex to give you new ways to play your favorite Pokémon. The set is headlined by a Mega Charizard X ex, who’ll feature prominently on special illustration rare cards.
Other rares featured include Zacian, who’ll appear in both regular and SIR variants. Additional Mega Pokémon ex will include Sharpedo, Empoleon, Lopunny, and Heracross. You can browse the full set now via PokéBeach, including high-quality scans of all 80 cards set to be included in Inferno X.
Inferno X is expected to be released in Japan on September 26. Collectors in the US will be able to get their hands on these cards, though; they’ll just have to wait a little longer.
When Will Pokémon’s Latest Set Release?
When Inferno X Cards Come To The West
Although Inferno X will be released in Japan on September 26, these cards won’t be available in the US until November 14. Along with cards from Japan’s Mega Gengar ex and Mega Diancie ex decks, they form part of the Phantasmal Flames set, which similarly focuses on Mega Pokémon ex.
As such, Phantasmal Flames is expected to be a significantly bigger set than Inferno X, with over 120 cards to Inferno‘s 80. It’s not clear, however, just how many of the Inferno X cards will be making the jump; some may remain Japan-exclusive. However, it may be difficult to come by, considering how many scalpers have already purchased sets en masse.
Either way, though, this is a fascinating look at what’s next for Pokémon, an expansive look at its next Japanese and English sets. Japan-exclusive sets have often been good predictors of what’s next for the English-language releases, so it’s no surprise that Inferno X is doing the same. We’ll find out more closer to the release of the Phantasmal Flames set for the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
