With Pokémon celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, there’s a lot of anticipation for the upcoming trading card game sets, and many new releases are already planned. The ‘Ascended Heroes’ set is generating even more buzz than usual, largely due to its special, beautifully illustrated full-art Mega Evolution cards.

And yes, there will be a new Charizard card, which always raises the value of Pokémon TCG sets.

Cards from this set, like Ethan’s Ho-oh EX and Mega Charizard Y EX, are already becoming valuable to collectors, and many are expected to be powerful additions to various Pokémon decks.
