Tied in with the release date of CoroCoro's September 2014 issue, the official site has updated with the contents of the spoiler, finally acknowledging the upcoming expansion, Phantom Gate and its associated deck Hyper Metal Chain Deck. The update posted images of Gengar-EX, Mega Gengar-EX, Crobat, Ditto, and several new Trainer cards being released in September. A small glimpse of Mega Manectric-EX can also be seen alongside the debut of Team Flare associated cards with red borders.

Phantom Gate will be out of 88 cards, not including secret rares. Zubat, Golbat, Crobat, Gengar-EX, and M Gengar-EX fall into place at 030/088 through 034/088. Dimensional Ravine comes in near the end at 087/088, with Mystery Energy taking the final in-set number at 088/088. The two Metal Pokémon-EX take up the Hyper Metal Chain Deck's 4th and 5th card slots out of eighteen, and the deck comes with a Dialga coin. Promotional card Ditto falls right into place at 077/XY-P. Ditto is available for this expansion's box campaign.
