Pokémon TCG Delays "Mega Evolution" Set Release in EMEA Markets

The Pokémon Company has announced a delay in the release of its upcoming Trading Card Game set, Mega Evolution, across EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) regions. Originally scheduled to launch on **September 26, 2025**, the highly anticipated set will now be available in stores on **October 10, 2025**.

According to the official statement, the delay is due to **"challenges impacting product delivery dates"**. However, no specific logistical issues were detailed. While the two-week pushback may seem minor, it's enough to cause a stir among collectors and competitive players alike who have been eagerly awaiting the new set.

"We apologise to our fans and understand that this news may be disappointing," the announcement read. "We are working hard alongside our logistics partners to ensure products will be available for purchase from October 10, 2025."

The Mega Evolution set is expected to be a significant release for the Pokémon TCG, reviving the beloved game mechanic first introduced in the XY era. With fan speculation running high and early leaks hinting at powerful new cards, excitement had been building steadily toward the late-September launch.

While delays are always unwelcome news for fans, The Pokémon Company has acknowledged the community's patience and continued support. With just a short wait ahead, players in EMEA markets can still look forward to getting their hands on Mega Evolution this October.

For now, fans elsewhere — including those in North America and the Asia-Pacific region — appear unaffected, with the original September 26 release date still in place for these regions.
