Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game’s next expansion is right around the corner, and ahead of its official launch, we’ve been lucky enough to rip some packs and see if we can find any hits.<\/p>\n

Mega Evolution \u2014 Chaos Rising launches on 22nd May<\/strong>, with Kalos’ beloved Greninja taking centre stage on the artwork. TPC has been teasing the full Illustration Rare Greninja evolution line<\/a> in recent weeks, so getting our hands on some packs ahead of launch, we had our fingers crossed that we might net one of these sweet full arts.<\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon Company was kind enough to send us an Elite Trainer Box and two Build & Battle Boxes from the new expansion, granting us a whopping 17 packs to crack into and see if we could find any treasure. We’ve assembled the following gallery to document that journey.<\/p>\n

To keep the suspense going for a little bit longer, let’s start with the ETB itself. As ever, this one comes with a handful of extra goodies including card sleeves, damage-counter dice, a plastic coin, dividers and a player’s guide to the expansion:<\/p>\n
