Serebii Update: The Pokémon Company International have given us the exclusive official English reveal of the Mega Zygarde ex Special Illustration Rare card in the new #PokemonTCG set, Mega Evolution: Perfect Order, due for release on March 27th 2026.

Full details @ www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

Huge thanks to @PokemonTCGUK for allowing me this reveal

Zygarde has always been one of my favourite Pokémon, even long before it was cool and seeing this artwork with all its forms.

It's actually spectacular

Others are saying "Oh that's too short for the price"

Like...what?

A surprising amount of people have got mad at the fact that I beat the story of Pokopia yesterday

I guess my post broke containment and some people don't realise who I am and what I do...

Right had a deluge of stuff to deal with as I got up but now can get back on it!!

Hope to fill up most of the Pokopia habitats today

That's a successful day of coverage done. I pushed through and hit credits and now mopping up post-game. There's so much to do

I'm going to get some actual sleep now as I only got like 2 hours last night and I need it to be on top form

And a big thanks to Nintendo UK for this lovely box of Pokémon Pokopia goodies

Already using that mug for my drinks during coverage

Cataloguing all the crafting recipes...now that will be the start of my spiral into insanity

My main issue with the game is there's no way to find which area or box my items are

I have a Dragonite Doll somewhere I want to go to a Dream Island with, but I have no clue where it is and have no idea how to find it

Now I'm done, the section creating will begin in earnest on Serebii.

I'll be working hard on this alongside the post-game over the next few days

Thank you for your support on this, the strangest coverage on Sereibi I've had to do in a long while

While I didn't play it the way intended, with lots of rushing, speeding and manipulating of timelines more than an errant time lord, it was still a great experience despite the grind towards the end, which likely won't be a thing if you're taking your time.

And that's credits for Pokémon Pokopia after almost 30 hours of gameplay

Absolute masterpiece of a game. GAME FREAK, Koei Tecmo and TPC did an amazing job with this one. It bodes well for future Pokémon games games

Not having rolled credits in over 24 hours is unheard of in a Serebii coverage

I can see the end, but the grind there is elongating this

Huge thanks to The Pokémon Company International for sending me this amazing Pokemon Pokopia themed Terrarium kit to celebrate the game’s launch

This is one of the coolest things they’ve sent

It is taking forever but progress is being made

This grind is actually really big I don't even know if I'll be done with it today, try as I might.

Yeah big grind for this final bit. Oof

Several hours of sleep have been accrued. I am now back on it

Right, I promised myself not to do an all-nighter and we've made great progress today

Going to get a couple of hours of sleep then jump back in

Ok I'm sorry, I am breaking my spoiler policy a little here but the connotations warrant it

Stereo Rotom (DJ Rotom) is Electric/Normal-type.

Why would they do such a thing if not for the future?

Had a surprise parcel arrive. I have a bespoke LEGO Pikachu tail as well as gifts of the Eevee and Pikachu sets

This is incredible. I’m so happy to get the tail

Thanks LEGO

It's funny (it's not) that I continue to see people use the state that SV originally shipped in as the continual norm that Pokémon games have been in for years, when it isn't.

Hearing it on mass media today was wild.

One instance doesn't make a pattern, it makes a dot.

Going to be a very, very long day for me today but I'm awake and ready for the challenge!

Man they've even somehow nerfed the in-person GO Fest spawns. Now it's just around a dozen Pokémon, not special habitats or anything

What are they doing?? Some 10th anniversary celebration

You joke but there are people like this

I remember one time I was waiting for a bus...this was about 8 years ago, a group of young adults, like 18-20 went past and I overheard one saying "Remember the old days when we were kids and were playing Minecraft"

I died inside that day.

I fully expect we'll nail this one, but like I said this one will take a lot longer than the average spin-off game to collate everything.

I appreciate your support during all of this. This one is going to be great, and I'm excited for you all to see what I've been cooking up.

So, tomorrow the Pokémon Pokopia coverage will begin on Serebii.

Due to the sheer volume of content, this one is going to take a while and I've already begun opening avenues for community input through the Serebii Discord.

Remember, coverage is a process. It takes time to cook.

The level of customisation in this game is nuts.

People with way more imagination than me are going to do some crazy things and I can't wait to see what the community cooks up

The final LEGO Pokémon set has now arrived here

I've got so much to build and so little time right now due to Pokopia tomorrow

I can't wait to dive into building all of these.
