About Series 3
Series 3 launched August 7, 2026 and covers the first partners of the Hoenn, Kalos and Paldea regions. The nine promos are MEP Black Star Promos 055 to 063: Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip from Hoenn; Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie from Kalos; and Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly from Paldea. Each one is an illustration rare-style promo card.
The promo pack holds three of the nine. The manufacturer does not publish how the three are picked, so we make no claim about which trio is inside a sealed box, and collecting all nine takes several boxes or trades.
Series 3 against Series 1 and Series 2
The numbering keeps the series apart. Series 1 is MEP 037 to 045, Series 2 is MEP 046 to 054 with the Johto, Unova and Galar first partners, and Series 3 is MEP 055 to 063. The nine Series 3 promos are not part of the Series 1 or Series 2 checklists, so this is the box for the Hoenn, Kalos and Paldea first partners in this treatment.

Do I get all nine promos in one box?
No. Each box's promo pack holds three of the nine. The manufacturer does not publish how the three are picked, so there is no way to tell which three are inside a sealed box.
Which booster packs are in the box?
The manufacturer's packing list calls them two Pokemon TCG booster packs without naming the sets. The official box art shows a Pitch Black pack and a Chaos Rising pack from the Mega Evolution series; treat that as a guide, not a fixed mix.

No. Series 1 is MEP 037 to 045 and Series 2 is MEP 046 to 054 with the Johto, Unova and Galar first partners. Series 3 is MEP 055 to 063.
