Ruler of the Skies Expansion Is Now Available
Want to show off your new cards? Starting Saturday, August 1, 2026, you can snag some cool covers and backdrops featuring the menacing Mega Rayquaza.
What’s New with the Release of Ruler of the Skies?
This expansion comes with a few important updates to core game features:
- You will now be able to share your decks with other players using 2D pattern codes.
- When you obtain a card included in multiple booster packs, it will be registered in the card dex for all corresponding booster packs. This change will also apply to cards you already own.
- If certain conditions are fulfilled when opening a booster pack, the next time a booster pack from the same expansion is opened, a ♦♦♦♦ or higher card will be guaranteed.
For more details about these updates, check the in-game news!
Plus, new elite deck gift missions are available from late July to late October. If you complete these missions, you can obtain a Fighting-type deck featuring Mega Lucario ex from Pulsing Aura and Hitmonchan ex from Mega Rising. With these powerful Pokémon ex cards, your opponents won’t know what hit them!
