The official YouTube channel of Pokémon Japan has released two new commercials for the upcoming TCG expansions, Blue Shock and Red Flash.  These two sub sets make up the eighth Japanese expansion of the XY era.  Blue Shock features Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X and Red Flash features Mega Mewtwo Y.
This expansion brings a new mechanic to the table, known as PokémonBREAK.  Similar to the {{tcg|Pokémon LV.X}} mechanic that made its debut in {{tcg|Diamond & Pearl}} and was retired after {{tcg|Platinum: Arceus}}, PokémonBREAK are a special type of evolution that gives Pokémon new moves while letting them keep their old ones.  Unlike Pokémon LV.X, PokémonBREAK cards are placed horizontally over the Pokémon they evolve from, covering only the illustration, while keeping the Pokémon's old moves, weakness, resistance, and retreat cost visible.
{{quote|This Pokémon inherits the Moves, Abilities, Weaknesses, Resistances, and Retreat Cost of the non-BREAK [insert Pokémon name here] it was placed on.|BREAK Evolution Rule}}
