A new Pokémon movie poster for *Pokémon: Wild Card* features a Mimikyu bathed in rainbow-colored light, sparking fan theories of an unreleased Mega Evolution. The film, set for a 2027 theatrical release, follows a TCG player competing for a championship, with the mysterious Mimikyu as a central figure. Mimikyu has never received a Mega Evolution in the main series or *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*, making the glowing effect a deliberate visual cue.
Fans speculate the Mega Evolution could debut in *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*, which focuses on Mega Evolution mechanics, or in the upcoming tenth-generation games, *Pokémon Winds and Waves*. The timing aligns with multiple franchise announcements, including a separate animated series, *Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu*, slated for 2027. Previous Pokémon media has introduced evolutions before their in-game debuts.
While unconfirmed, the tease has fueled excitement, with some players already envisioning Mega Mimikyu’s potential abilities. The franchise has yet to address the speculation directly.
