With the upcoming Pokemon TCG Pocket Mega Rising B1 set, the title officially concludes Series A. This expansion also marks one year of the TCG's digital journey. Mega Rising does more than bring new cards to the fold, it focuses on the debut of Mega Evolutions – the franchise's most popular battle trick.
With new mechanics, unique artwork, and a mix of familiar faces and new surprises, Pokemon TCG Pocket Mega Rising is set to redefine today's meta.

Mega Rising is the first set in the B series, making this release stand out as the official debut of Cards from Mega Evolution exa feature officially introduced two months ago.
These cards bring back the charm of the classic Mega mechanic while reshaping the meta with interesting new abilities and mechanics. Similar to Genetic Apex, this set includes three main booster packs, each highlighting a signature Mega Pokemon:

The heart of the set revolves around the formation of the former Mega Evolution. Aside from Megas, the expansion includes a variety of familiar Pokemon. Complementing the Pokemon roster, some support cards and tools will also be included, further enhancing potential strategies and gameplay versatility.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Mega Rising isn't another expansion, but it will likely redesign the competitive format. With the introduction of Mega Evolution ex cards, the strategic depth of battles will be significantly expanded.

However, if I had to recommend one game to a skeptic, it would be Guild Wars 2 because of its compelling story. However, if he were to go full throttle on the competitive side, Dota 2 would get his blood pumping.
