Pokémon Fans Think The Franchise’s New TCG Movie Hides a Secret Mega Evolution
The Pokémon Company announced a new theatrical movie at the 2026 Pokémon World Championships, marking the franchise’s first film in seven years. Titled Pokémon: Wild Card, the movie will release in 2027 and centers on a Pokémon Trading Card Game player protagonist striving to become a champion, alongside a mysterious Mimikyu companion.
The announcement has sparked fan speculation online, with players theorizing that the reveal poster contains a hidden Mega Evolution. Currently, Mimikyu lacks a Mega Evolution form—it was absent from the original Mega Evolution line introduced in Pokémon X and Y, as well as the expanded selection added via Pokémon Legends: Z-A last year. However, fans have noticed unusual design elements in the Mimikyu featured in promotional materials that deviate from its standard appearance, leading to theories that a new Mega Evolution could be unveiled through the film.
