Inferno X Release Date
The official Pokémon Card Game website confirms that Inferno X released in Japan on Friday, September 26, 2025. Each pack contains 5 cards, and a Japanese booster box holds 30 packs. Inferno X is set M2 of the Pokémon Card Game MEGA series, released after Mega Brave (M1L) and Mega Symphonia (M1S). Its cards were later used, together with cards from Japan's Mega Gengar ex and Mega Diancie ex decks, for the English Phantasmal Flames set.
Mega Charizard X ex: The Star of Inferno X
Mega Charizard X ex is a Stage 2 Fire Mega Evolution Pokémon ex with 360 HP that evolves from Charmeleon. Its only attack is named Inferno X (インフェルノX), just like the set: for two Fire Energy, you discard any amount of Fire Energy from among your Pokémon, and the attack does 90 damage for each card discarded. As a Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, it gives up 3 Prize cards when Knocked Out.
The set is built to power it up. Oricorio ex's Ability Excited Turbo lets you attach Basic Fire Energy from your hand to your Benched Fire Pokémon as often as you like while you have a Fire Mega Evolution Pokémon ex in play, and the Supporter Firebreather searches your deck for up to 7 Basic Fire Energy cards. Mega Charizard X ex appears four times in Inferno X: the Double Rare (013), the Super Rare (094), the Special Art Rare (110) and the Mega Ultra Rare (116).
The Other Mega Evolution ex
Mega Heracross ex (004, Grass, 280 HP) is a Basic Mega Evolution Pokémon ex. Panzer Horn does 100 damage plus the damage it took from attacks during your opponent's last turn, and Mountain Thrust does 170 damage and discards the top 2 cards of your opponent's deck.
Mega Sharpedo ex (051, Darkness, 330 HP) evolves from Carvanha and has no Retreat Cost. Greedy Fangs does 70 damage and draws 2 cards, and Hungry Jaw does 120 damage, plus 150 more if Mega Sharpedo ex has any damage counters on it.
Mega Lopunny ex (072, Colorless, 330 HP) evolves from Buneary. Gale Thrust does 60 damage, plus 170 more if it moved from your Bench to the Active Spot this turn, and Spike Hopper does 160 damage that isn't affected by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon.
Pokémon ex and Other Highlights
Rotom ex (Lightning, 190 HP) lets each of your Pokémon with "Rotom" in its name hold up to 2 Pokémon Tools with its Ability Multi Adapter. Mismagius ex (Psychic, 260 HP) confuses each new Active Pokémon your opponent switches in, and its attack Six Magic does 150 damage and lets you draw until you have 6 cards in hand. Empoleon ex (Metal, 320 HP) is protected from all effects of your opponent's attacks thanks to Emperor's Stance.
The set also has a group of "Excite" Abilities that work with Mega Evolution Pokémon ex: Ludicolo's Excited Healing, Seviper's Excite Power and Linoone's Excite Dash. The Supporters are Dawn, Firebreather and Grimsley's Move; the Items are Jumbo Ice and Heat Burner; the Pokémon Tool is Sacred Charm; and the Stadiums are Battle Colosseum and Vertigo Valley. Switch, Punk Helmet and Ignition Energy appear in this set only as Super Rares.
Inferno X Secret Rares
The 36 secret rares are 12 Art Rares (081 to 092: Ludicolo, Nymble, Charcadet, Dewgong, Piplup, Yamper, Zacian, Flygon, Toxtricity, Togedemaru, Wigglytuff and Ambipom), 17 Super Rares (093 to 109, including the eight Pokémon ex and nine Trainer and Energy cards), 6 Special Art Rares (110 to 115: Mega Charizard X ex, Oricorio ex, Rotom ex, Mega Sharpedo ex, Mega Lopunny ex and Dawn) and 1 Mega Ultra Rare (116, Mega Charizard X ex).
