Entire Pitch Black Pokemon TCG Set List Revealed

Looking for the complete Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution – Pitch Black card list?

Pitch Black is releasing on July 17, 2026 and features plenty of gorgeous chase cards, intriguing mechanics, and a spooky theme that feels brilliantly out of place in the heat of the summer sun.

While this card list originally pulled from Japan’s Abyss Eye Pokémon TCG set – which Pitch Black is based on – as of July 10, 2026, the entire, official Pitch Black set list has been revealed in English. That means we know exactly what to expect when the set drops next week.

Updated July 10, 2026: The entire set list has been revealed in English.

Pitch Black Promo cards

Of course, no Pokémon set would be complete without accompanying promo cards, and several have already been revealed for Pitch Black.

Pitch Black prerelease promos

The prerelease promos for Pitch Black have been officially revealed by the Pokémon Company, and they are Dhelmise, Slowbro, Miraidon, and Bastiodon. These will be available at local game stores beginning July 4, 2026 as part of the Pitch Black prerelease events. If you haven’t been to a Pokémon prerelease before, give Pitch Black a try: these prerelease promos look both strong and fun to build decks around.

Zarude Pitch Black ETB promo

Pitch Black seems to just be filled to the brim with Mythical Pokemon as we’ll also be getting an exciting Zarude promo card within the Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box. I particularly love the way the red sky frames the dark gray shadows of the rest of this card’s artwork.

The Zarude pictured above has the Pokémon Center stamp on it, meaning you can only get it in the Pokémon Center Exclusive ETB. Meanwhile, the Zarude without the stamp will be in the regular ETB.

Pitch Black Store Promos

This set’s store promos look a little different than past sets: each card will have a unique “What’s your Favorite?” 30th stamp to celebrate Pokémon’s birthday this year. Primarina will be available at Hot Topic, Barnes & Noble, and BoxLunch in the US, Zarude will be at GameStop in the US and EB Games in Canada and Australia, while the Armarouge can be found at Best Buy in the US and JB Hi-Fi in New Zealand.

These exciting promos will only be available to those who purchase $15 or more of Pokémon TCG products from participating stores, and will only be given out while supplies last.

Pitch Black product lineup

The complete product lineup has been revealed for Pitch Black, and it includes all of the products that typically are released alongside a main expansion, including a Booster Box, Build & Battle, Booster Bundle, and the ETBs (both standard and Pokémon Center exclusive).
