Updated on 23 October 2026: it is official. The Pokémon Company has announced "Hadou Seeker" (ハドウシーカー), the Japanese M7 set. It releases in Japan on Friday 27 November 2026, headlined by Mega Lucario Z ex. Its English version, "Flowing Fists", follows on 5 February 2027.
What is confirmed
- Name: Hadou Seeker, set M7 of the MEGA range.
- Japanese release: Friday 27 November 2026.
- Boosters: 5 cards per pack.
- Main set: 78 cards, based on the numbering of the revealed cards (out of 078).
- A first: it is the first set with Mega Evolution Z Pokémon, such as Mega Lucario Z ex and Mega Garchomp Z ex.
- No basic Energy cards in the set.
The cards revealed so far

- Mega Lucario Z ex (057/078): its "Hadou Seeker" Ability searches the deck for a Supporter card once per turn, and its "Dancing Fist" attack hits much harder against a Pokémon ex. The set is named after this Ability.
- Mega Garchomp Z ex: its attack deals 30 damage for each Dragon Pokémon in the discard pile, with no cap.
- Sigilyph ex (031/078): its Ability protects it from attacks by the opponent's Mega Evolution ex.
- Korrina's Supporter card (075/078): your Mega Evolution ex attacks gain 20 damage for each Prize card your opponent has already taken.
- Meloetta, Revavroom, Vibrava and Drampa complete the first reveals.
In English: Flowing Fists

The English version of Hadou Seeker will be called "Flowing Fists", set code FLO. It releases on Friday 5 February 2027, with prereleases from 23 to 31 January 2027. The first English cards are numbered out of 080, against 078 in Japanese. The name echoes Furious Fists, the 2014 set that already featured Mega Lucario.
What about French?
The French name has not been announced yet. Sets release on the same day in English and French, as Delta Reign did on 6 November: 5 February 2027 is therefore the most likely French date, not yet confirmed by Pokémon France.
