Pitch Black expansion becomes available with a broad card lineup
A newly available release combines a large card roster, several products and official paths to product information and local Play! activities.
The Pitch Black expansion is now available, adding more than 115 cards to a release whose Mega-Evolved stars include Mega Darkrai ex, Mega Zeraora ex, Mega Chandelure ex and Mega Excadrill ex. The cards are offered through a range of products.
A darker setting
Official coverage casts the expansion against city streets and a darkened sky. It also invites collectors to bring mystery and malice into their collections, using a shadow-heavy setting as the release’s stated backdrop. The publisher’s availability announcement connects that atmosphere to the Pitch Black expansion’s arrival. Together, the collection-focused message and the city-street description establish the setting used in the official release material for collectors following this newly available release.
Products and details
More than 115 cards make up the expansion, according to the official release, and the cards appear across a variety of products. Readers seeking specifics on the available lineup are directed to the product showcase. That showcase is described as the source for details on what is available, giving collectors a named official place to consult for further product information.
Named card stars
The announcement identifies four Mega-Evolved stars: Mega Zeraora ex, Mega Excadrill ex, Mega Darkrai ex, and Mega Chandelure ex. The ordering here differs from the official presentation while retaining the same four named cards. It also indicates that additional powerful cards remain to be discovered beyond those four in the expansion’s wider lineup. The official description places all four within its darkened-sky presentation and says plenty more powerful cards await discovery.
Local Play activity
After opening cards from the release, the official notice points people toward local Play! There, Trainers can meet other Trainers, battle, trade, and display newly added collection cards. This is the community activity specifically mentioned alongside the expansion, placing play and collection sharing in the same official message as product availability and the card lineup.
Context
Why it matters
With the release available and its cards spread across several products, the announcement gives collectors two clear official reference points: the product showcase for availability details and local Play! for meeting others, battling, trading, and displaying collection additions. It also identifies four named Mega-Evolved stars within a lineup exceeding 115 cards.
