“MEGA x MEGA Parade” Trademark Filed for the Pokemon TCG, Japan’s High Class Pack Set?
Pokemon has filed a trademark for MEGA x MEGA Parade under the same categories historically used for TCG set names. The name follows the pattern of Japan's annual High Class Pack sets, which build their titles around current card mechanics, as seen with MEGA Dream ex, Terastal Festival ex, and VSTAR Universe, and the "Parade" wording echoes the Terastal Festival set from two years ago.
Trademarks usually surface six months to a year before use, so a release window is unclear, and there does not appear to be room on Japan's 2026 calendar with Aura Seeker set for late November. That said, the current MEGA block has upended the release schedule, with Japan dropping subsets, smaller English sets every two months, and the first-ever simultaneous global launch via 30th Celebration, so the High Class Pack timing could shift too.
