The Mega Rising expansion completely changed the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta when it was released in late October, but by the looks of things, that was only the beginning. The recently announced Crismon Blaze expansion will add several new mega evolutions, including Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blastoise, and Mega Venusaur.

This is the first time since Genetic Apex that Blastoise and Venusaur have been treated to ex cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket, which makes this an exciting expansion for fans of the Gen 1 Pokemon games. If, like me, you just can't wait to get your hands on them, then these official Crimson Blaze release times should be of interest.

Mega Charizard, Mega Venusaur, and Mega Blastoise are the most noteworthy cards that have been confirmed for Crimson Blaze so far, but they're not the only new cards worth getting excited about. There'll be a new Charmander card that can deal 40 damage from two energy, which may prove useful for those still running decks built around the Charizard ex card from Shining Revelry. Quick-Grow extract could also prove useful for decks that include Stage 1 Grass-type Pokemon, like Exeggutor ex, allowing players to hit up to 80 damage on their second turn.
