What is the Pokémon TCG Pocket Mega Latios ex Drop event?

Mega Latios ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket

As the name suggests, the Mega Latios ex Drop event is slated to be a solo event in Pokémon TCG Pocket centered around Mega Latios. Seeing how it’s a solo event, players will be expected to face off against several Mega Latios-themed decks, which will increase in difficulty the more players win.

The difficulties of these decks are beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert. While it wouldn’t be rocket science to say that you may struggle more the higher the difficulty is, you can also expect better rewards for conquering harder enemies. These rewards range from Pack Hourglasses to Shop Tickets and Promo Packs.

Those who don’t mind going a step further can also tackle every battle’s advanced battle tasks. Of course, all of these tasks come with their own set of rewards, though some may be a little tough. Fortunately, you can always buy Pokémon TCG Pocket Poké Gold to strengthen your deck and make things significantly easier.

Like with every other solo Drop event, the Mega Latios ex Drop event will come with unique Promo Pack B Series Vol. 3 packs that players will obtain as they progress. Every pack will contain one of five cards, depending on the player’s luck.

  • There’s a 12.66% chance of getting Mega Latios ex

  • There’s a 15.82% chance of getting Genesect

  • There’s a 23.84% chance of getting Onix

  • There’s a 23.84% chance of getting Hawlucha

  • There’s a 23.84% chance of getting Charmeleon

It makes sense that Mega Latios ex is the chase card, considering the Drop event is based on it. But that doesn’t mean the other cards are anything to scoff at. In particular, Genesect is a fan-favorite Pokémon that many players will likely be aiming for, and Charmeleon stands out for having an alternate artwork compared to its Crimson Blaze counterpart.

When will the Mega Latios ex Drop event start?

The Mega Latios ex Drop event will start on January 17, 2026, making it the year’s second drop event after the Mareep Drop event. Players will have exactly two weeks to complete everything this event has to offer, as it’ll conclude on February 3, 2026, exactly two weeks after starting.
