Pokémon TCG Japan Reveals Aura Seeker

Pokémon TCG Japan has revealed its next Mega Evolution expansion, ハドウシーカー (Hadou Seeker), commonly rendered in English as Aura Seeker. The set releases in Japan on November 27, with five-card booster packs priced at ¥200.

Mega Lucario Z ex (057/078 RR).

Mega Lucario Z ex leads the expansion as a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 330 HP. Its Aura Seeker Ability lets you search your deck for a Supporter once during your turn while Lucario is Active, while Dancing Fist does 120 damage plus 120 more if the opponent’s Active Pokémon is a Pokémon ex.

Mega Garchomp Z ex (067/078 RR).

Mega Garchomp Z ex is a Stage 2 Dragon Pokémon with 360 HP. Dragon Avenger does 30 damage for each Dragon Pokémon in your discard pile, giving the deck a clear setup plan, while Sonic Edge hits for 240 and ignores effects on the opponent’s Active Pokémon.

Mega Absol Z ex (030/078 RR).

Mega Absol Z ex is a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 270 HP. Bloody Fear deals 160 damage and stops the opponent from attaching Special Energy from their hand or playing Stadium cards during their next turn. It is a compact disruption option alongside the set’s two larger evolutions.

The first reveal also includes support such as Riolu, Gible, Gabite, Revavroom, Sigilyph ex, and Meloetta. With the first Z Mega Evolutions entering the card game, Aura Seeker could give several new strategies room to develop before the next major Japanese tournament cycle.
