What are Phantasmal Flames and the Mega Charizard X UPC?
Mega Evolution—Phantasmal Flames is a Pokémon TCG expansion featuring Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, including Mega Charizard X ex. Pokémon announced the expansion with a November 14, 2025 release date; its official news page now says it is available.
The Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection (UPC) is a distinct collection product, not the expansion itself. Pokémon lists it separately in its official product gallery. The gallery description confirms booster packs, a playmat, a deck box, and card sleeves, but does not establish the full contents or quantities.
What is confirmed to be in the Mega Charizard X ex UPC?
Pokémon’s product gallery names booster packs, a playmat, a deck box, and card sleeves. The available official description does not state how many packs or sleeves are included, or provide a complete item-by-item contents list. Those details should not be inferred from another Phantasmal Flames product.
