Pokémon TCG Pocket players, your decks are about to get a shake-up. The next expansion, called **C1** and reportedly titled **Dual Fusion**, opens a brand-new series. Dual-type cards were announced at PokémonXP on 28 August 2026, and the rollout starts in October 2026. Here’s what we know and where I think the meta is heading.

### What’s New in C1?

Until now, every card in the game carried one type. C1 changes that, since some Pokémon will have two types at once and can hit two different weaknesses. The set also brings back starter Pokémon as ex cards, which is a big deal for fans of the partner Pokémon. [pokemon-zone](https://www.pokemon-zone.com/sets/c1/)

### Mega Mewtwo X ex: The Poster Card

Mega Mewtwo X ex is the game’s first dual-type card, holding both Psychic and Fighting. It has 180 HP and an attack called Dual Impact that starts at 100 damage. The risk is that a Mega Evolution ex gives your opponent 3 points when it’s knocked out, instead of the usual 2.

### My Meta Predictions

These are my own predictions, not confirmed facts.

- **Mega Mewtwo X ex looks like a strong attacker.** Hitting two weakness types gives it more targets, and it can use boosts for both of its types.
- **Starter ex cards may become budget favorites.** They’re basic cards with bigger HP and stronger attacks, and they don’t need to evolve. That means fast, simple decks. [pokemon-zone](https://www.pokemon-zone.com/sets/c1/)
- **Expect aggressive Psychic and Fighting builds.** Support cards for either type should gain value.
- **The 3-point risk will shape play.** Pairing a Mega ex with sturdy backups should become standard.

### Cards to Watch

Artwork also shows Mega Charizard X ex, Mega Altaria ex, Mega Lucario ex, Copycat, Eevee, Charmeleon, Chingling and Roaring Moon, but not every card is confirmed as playable, so wait for the full card list. [gamsgo](https://www.gamsgo.com/blog/pokemon-tcg-pocket-next-pack)
