Aura Seeker (English, ME07)
Not announced
No action needed yet. Watch for store windows.
Why we show this rumor
Rumor: No name or date announced; retailer placeholders and trackers only.
RUMOR: retailer placeholder listings point to January 2027 for the English counterpart of Aura Seeker (Mega Lucario Z ex), but The Pokémon Company has not announced a name or date. English Mega Evolution sets have trailed Japan by 3-5 months, which fits late Jan / early Feb 2027. Expect Pokémon Center pre-orders ~5-11 weeks before whatever date is announced.

Why we show this rumor
Rumor: Not announced; based on past Pokémon Day releases.
RUMOR by pattern only: 2024-2026 each had a late-January special product tied to Pokémon Day (Feb 27) — e.g. the Pokémon Day 2026 Collection on Jan 30, 2026. Nothing has been announced for 2027; watch pokemon.com news in December/January.

ex★ Series
Not announced; revealed at Worlds 2026
No action needed yet. Watch for store windows.
Details and sources
Date TBA: Announced by The Pokémon Company at Worlds 2026, without a date.
Announced at the Worlds 2026 closing ceremony (Aug 31): the ex★ (ex Star) series will succeed Mega Evolution, teased with Raikou, Entei and Suicune ex★ cards and new Mega Attack Rares. No set name or date; at least a few more Mega Evolution sets come first, so ex★ is unlikely before spring/summer 2027.
