**Yes — Mega Zeraora ex is one of Pitch Black's two headline Megas, alongside Mega Darkrai ex, and it also appears with a special-illustration alternate art.**

## Yes — Mega Zeraora ex is in Pitch Black

**Mega Zeraora ex** is one of the two cards Pokémon led the Pitch Black reveal with; Mega Darkrai ex is the other. The pair headline the set's six new Megas.

## Which one to chase

There's the standard **Mega Zeraora ex** and a **special-illustration (alt-art)** version, and the alt-art is the one that carries a premium. Mega Darkrai ex is the cover star, so it usually draws the most attention of the two.

> **Out now, data pending.** Pitch Black released on July 17, 2026. Our card database hasn't picked it up yet, so the figures here come from Pokémon's own announcements and the TCG press, checked August 2026 — not from card-by-card data. Exact counts follow once the cards land.
