Master Mysterious Powers!

Gather your courage and peer into the haunted void with the Pokémon TCG: XY—Phantom Forces expansion! Mega Manectric-EX makes a shocking appearance to light the way, while the ghostly grin of Mega Gengar-EX frightens challengers near and far. Take along Aegislash-EX to give you an edge, push the limits of Mega Evolution with new Skill Link cards, and call on all of your Trainer knowledge to escape the eerie forces at work!

Pokémon TCG: XY—Phantom Forces (Japanese: ファントムゲート Phantom Gate) is the fourth main expansion of the XY Series, bringing the shadowy intrigue of Generation VI Pokémon to the tabletop. Released in English on November 5, 2014, with its Japanese counterpart arriving on September 13, 2014, Phantom Forces takes trainers into Unova’s haunted corners, where Mega Evolutions and spectral power collide in an unforgettable showdown.

One of the set’s standout features is the introduction of Spirit Link cards—special Pokémon Tool cards that let you Mega Evolve without ending your turn, opening up dynamic new strategies. Phantom Forces spotlights two iconic Mega Evolutions: Mega Manectric‑EX, striking with electrifying force, and Mega Gengar‑EX, whose mischievous grin belies devastating power. Alongside them, Aegislash‑EX shoulders the set’s spectral theme, while a suite of Skill Link Trainer cards strengthens your Mega-focused tactics. Throughout the set, subtle Team Flare motifs weave in the shadow organization’s influence, featuring Supporters like Lysandre, specialized Team Flare Gear Items, and two notorious Team Flare Hyper Gear cards that you can attach to an opponent’s Pokémon to disrupt their plans.

Beyond battle mechanics, Phantom Forces is peppered with collector’s delights. It marks the TCG debut of the Mythical Pokémon Diancie, adding a touch of crystalline magic to any binder. Secret Rare hunters will chase the “Full Metal” Dialga‑EX, whose etched artwork and solid metal‑colored foil rank it among the most coveted pulls of the XY Series. With spine‑tingling art, game‑changing Tools, and the thrill of Mega Evolutions, Phantom Forces remains a standout chapter that continues to captivate both collectors and competitors alike.
