Pokemon Flowing Fists: Release Date, Cards & Pokemon Center ETB

Pokémon Flowing Fists is the first English Pokémon TCG set of 2027, releasing on 5 February 2027 with Mega Lucario Z ex as its headline card. It is the English counterpart to the Japanese set Aura Seeker, and the full product line-up, including the Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box, has not been published yet.

What Is Flowing Fists?

Flowing Fists is the seventh main set of the Mega Evolution series in English, following Delta Reign on 6 November 2026. Its name was first reported by PokeBeach on 20 October 2026, and it adapts the Japanese expansion Aura Seeker, which is scheduled to release in Japan on 27 November 2026.

The set is built around Mega Lucario Z, the new Mega form introduced in the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. PokeBeach notes the name also nods to XY Furious Fists, the 2014 set that starred M Lucario-EX.

English sets do not always copy their Japanese source card for card, so treat Aura Seeker as a strong guide rather than a finished checklist. The card numbers shown so far run to /080, which points to an 80-card main set before any secret rares.

The Cards Revealed So Far

Three cards were shown at the 2026 Pokémon World Championships in August, before the set had an English name:

  • Mega Lucario Z ex (058/080): the face of the set. Its Ability is also called Aura Seeker, the same name as the Japanese set, and it searches your deck for a Supporter card.
  • Sigilyph ex (032/080): its Ability stops damage from Mega Evolution Pokémon, which makes it a direct answer to the decks the whole series is built on.
  • Riolu (045/080): the Pokémon that evolves into Lucario.

These are main-set numbers, so the Special Illustration Rares and Mega Hyper Rares that collectors chase are still to come. We will not guess at them or at their pull rates. The pull rate calculator covers every set we hold real data for, and Flowing Fists joins it once opened product gives us numbers we can stand behind. Until then, any odds you see quoted for this set are estimates.

Every Confirmed Flowing Fists Product

None yet. The set name and date have been reported, but The Pokémon Company has not yet published the set, its product list, contents or artwork. Main English sets in this series have followed a steady pattern of Booster Boxes, Booster Bundles, a standard Elite Trainer Box and a Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box, alongside smaller blisters and Build & Battle kits. We expect the same here, but nothing is confirmed until the official product page goes up, and we will update this guide when it does.

If you are weighing up formats in the meantime, our Booster Bundle vs Booster Box guide explains what each one is for.

The Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box

Every main Mega Evolution set so far has had a Pokémon Center exclusive Elite Trainer Box, and Lucario has fronted one before: the Mega Evolution Pokémon Center ETB featuring Mega Lucario. The Pokémon Center version carries more booster packs than the standard ETB and an exclusive stamped promo, and it is sold only through the Pokémon Center.

For Flowing Fists, the pack count, promo card and box art have not been revealed. Pokémon Center exclusives don't come back once allocation closes, which is why our Elite Trainer Box range is built around them. For the most recent example of the format, see the Delta Reign Pokémon Center ETB.

Flowing Fists UK Release Date and Pre-orders

The English release date is Friday 5 February 2027, and English sets launch on the same day worldwide, the UK included. Pre-order details have not been announced. Pokémon Center UK usually opens them first, and Pokémon Center exclusives sell out fast, so the window can be short.

We secure stock direct from Pokémon Center UK, and Flowing Fists will go into our Elite Trainer Boxes and Booster Bundles collections once its products are confirmed. Limited allocation. No restocks guaranteed. To hear the moment it lands, join our drop alerts. Our guide to pre-ordering Pokémon cards in the UK covers how the process works.

Delta Reign is the Mega Evolution set that comes before it. Our Storm Emeralda vs Delta Reign comparison shows how a Japanese set and its English counterpart can differ, the same question Aura Seeker and Flowing Fists will raise.
