Storm Emeralda releases in Japan on July 31, 2026, built around Mega Rayquaza ex and marking Mega Evolution's official return to the Pokémon Trading Card Game after years of fan requests. The set leans into the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire era, and introduces a new split Stadium card format alongside Legendary Summit, which brings back LEGEND cards last seen in the Heart Gold & Soul Silver era.
This Black Bolt expansion box shipped exactly one year earlier, on July 31, 2025, as part of the same Scarlet & Violet block Storm Emeralda closes out. It's available through CDJapan's Proxy Shopping Service.
