Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the Mega Evolution era.
Pitch Black arrived on July 17, 2026 as an expansion in the Mega Evolution era of the English-language Pokémon TCG, carrying the set code PBL. The card list runs to 84 official cards plus 36 secret cards above that count, 120 printings in all. The set is built around Mega Darkrai ex, which appears in four versions, and it leans on Darkness, Psychic, Water and Lightning Pokémon. Mega Chandelure ex and Mega Zeraora ex each appear three times, alongside the Trainer cards Gwynn and Gladion's Final Battle.
The rarity ladder in Pitch Black climbs from commons and uncommons through rares and double rares to ultra rares, illustration rares and special illustration rares, with a single Mega Hyper Rare at the peak. In all, 46 cards sit in the chase tier, and the 36 secret cards are numbered beyond the printed 84. The special illustration rare Mega Darkrai ex by AKIRA EGAWA is the most valuable card, followed by the Mega Hyper Rare Mega Darkrai ex by 5ban Graphics, the special illustration rare Morpeko ex by NC Empire and Mega Zeraora ex by GIDORA. The top five cards hold 71 percent of the set's total card value.

Completing the Pitch Black card list means tracking down all 120 printings, and every one of them is priced. Because 71 percent of the total card value sits in the top five cards, the weight of a complete set rests on those few special illustration and Mega Hyper Rare cards, while the large base of commons, uncommons and rares contributes only a small share of the whole.
