Delta Reign hasn't even hit English shelves yet, and Japan already has the next set lined up. Aura Seeker was officially revealed in late October, and it brings something new to the Mega Evolution era: Z Mega Evolutions.

Aura Seeker at a glance

  • Japanese release: November 27, 2026
  • Set size: 78 main cards plus roughly 35–40 secret rares, about 115 cards total
  • Headliner: Mega Lucario Z ex

Cards to watch

  • Mega Lucario Z ex
  • Mega Absol Z ex
  • Mega Garchomp Z ex
  • Korrina's Determination
  • Fight Arena

It's the first set with "Z" Mega Evolutions, so expect a lot of interest in the Z ex cards and their secret rare versions.

When will it come out in English?

PokeBeach reports that Aura Seeker will become the English set Flowing Fists, the seventh English Mega Evolution set, releasing February 5 with prereleases January 23–31. That hasn't been officially announced yet, so treat those dates as reported until The Pokémon Company confirms them. In the meantime, catch up on the next English set, Delta Reign.

Why Japanese sets matter

Japanese sets give collectors an early look at what's coming to English, and plenty of collectors chase the Japanese versions of the big cards for their art and card quality. Japanese boxes for a hot set can move fast around release.
