Mega Greninja ex League Battle Deck Reveal ---
This November, a new deck product is available in retail stores. It is the [Mega Greninja ex League Battle Deck](https://www.pokebeach.com/2026/08/mega-greninja-ex-league-battle-deck-revealed-for-november). The main attack is Mega Greninja ex with Mega Starmie ex as its second attacker. This is a spread damage type of deck.

I do plan to make a more detailed separate post on my thoughts on this deck.

Crystal Lugia, Dark Tyranitar Pokemon 30th Anniversary Cards ---
| | | | |---|---|---| | https://www.pokebeach.com/news/2026/08/Magikarp-30th-Japanese.jpg | https://www.pokebeach.com/news/2026/08/Dark-Tyranitar-Japan.jpg | https://www.pokebeach.com/news/2026/08/Crystal-Lugia-English.jpg |
There are reprints of Crystal Lugia, Dark Tyranitar and Paldea Evolved's illustration rare Magikarp.
New versions of Gimmighoul and Ditto have been revealed.
Mega Lucario Z ex ---
The Aura Seeker Japanese set is to release in November. A few English cards have been revealed with no official set release date. We have a new version of Riolu, Mega Lucario Z ex and Sigilyph ex.
| | | | |---|---|---| | https://www.pokebeach.com/news/2026/08/PokemonTCG045RioluEN1png.jpg | https://www.pokebeach.com/news/2026/08/PokemonTCG058MegaLucarioZexEN1png.jpg | https://www.pokebeach.com/news/2026/08/PokemonTCG032SigilyphexEN1png.jpg |
This new Riolu is not a great attacker but is needed for Mega Lucario ex or Mega Lucario Z ex.
Sigilyph ex is a Basic Pokemon ex beatstick attacker. This has 210 HP, a one retreat cost, Fighting resistance and Dark Weakness. The Mega Protection ability makes Sigilyph ex prevent damage by Mega Evolution Pokemon ex attacks. The Power Cyclone attack requires 3 of any Energy to deal 140 damage plus you move 1 Energy from this Pokemon to 1 of your Benched Pokemon.
Mega Lucario Z ex is very interesting. Instead of a Fighting type, it is a Metal type Pokemon. This goes well with Metang, Genesect ex, Philippe and Steven's Metagross ex.
| | | | | |---|---|---|---| | https://limitlesstcg.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/tpci/TEF/TEF114RENLG.png | https://limitlesstcg.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/tpci/BLK/BLK067RENLG.png | https://limitlesstcg.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/tpci/CRI/CRI079RENLG.png | https://limitlesstcg.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/tpci/DRI/DRI145RENLG.png |
The Aura Seeker ability can be used once during your turn if this Mega Lucario Z ex is in the Active Spot. Search your deck for 1 Supporter card, reveal it, and put into your hand. Then shuffle deck. A Meowth ex ability for once per turn is pretty powerful. One obvious combo is this Mega Lucario Z ex with Air Balloon.

With a powerful ability, the Dancing Fist attack is okay. If this was a super strong attack then Mega Lucario Z ex would be broken. For 2 Metal Energy, this Dancing Fist attack deals 120 base damage plus 120 damage if the opponent's Active Pokemon is a Pokemon ex.
Notes ---
When it comes to Pokemon Worlds events, they typically announce new stuff that is upcoming. A Pokemon TCG movie is kind of surprising. Will I watch this movie? Not likely. I don't watch movies in general these days.
I do hope that the upcoming Pokemon TCG cards are good. The current Dragapult ex 30%+ meta share metagame is getting stale really fast. Beating an average [Dragapult ex deck](https://limitlesstcg.com/decks/284) is not too difficult but there are so many of them.
Thank you for reading.
