Hadou Seeker releases in Japan on November 27, 2026, with five randomly selected cards per ¥200 tax-inclusive pack, according to Pokémon’s official product page. Mega Lucario Z ex and other featured cards are officially previewed for the Japanese Pokémon Card Game MEGA expansion.
Which Hadou Seeker cards are confirmed for November 27?

The official Hadou Seeker preview confirms メガルカリオZex (Mega Lucario Z ex), メガガブリアスZex (Mega Garchomp Z ex), メガアブソルZex (Mega Absol Z ex) and the Supporter コルニの本気. These named cards appear on Pokémon’s product page; their inclusion does not establish corresponding special-art versions.
Quick Answer: Hadou Seeker officially previews Mega Lucario Z ex, Mega Garchomp Z ex, Mega Absol Z ex and コルニの本気. Pokémon lists its Japanese release for November 27, 2026. The featured cards are confirmed; the MUR and SAR versions discussed by SNKRDUNK remain predictions.
As of November 2, 2026, the announcement concerns Japan; an international release date remains unconfirmed. SNKRDUNK’s chase-card ranking presents forecasts, not a confirmed rarity checklist.
What does the official Hadou Seeker card preview confirm?
The official Hadou Seeker preview confirms the cards shown below and selected gameplay effects, but it is not a complete set checklist. Pokémon’s product page identifies Pokémon and a Supporter—a Trainer card category—and describes effects involving Supporter searches, Prize cards and Dragon Pokémon in the discard pile (source: Pokémon Card Game). English identifications below are explanatory renderings, not confirmed English release names.
| Official Japanese card name | English identification | Disclosed gameplay detail |
|---|---|---|
| メガルカリオZex | Mega Lucario Z ex | Its Ability searches the deck for one Supporter. |
| メガガブリアスZex | Mega Garchomp Z ex | An attack deals 30 damage per Dragon Pokémon in the discard pile. |
| メガアブソルZex | Mega Absol Z ex | Featured in the official preview; no gameplay effect summarized here. |
| コルニの本気 | Korrina’s Seriousness | Supporter that adds 20 attack damage for each Prize card the opponent has taken when attacking with the player’s Mega Evolution ex Pokémon. |
| ブロロローム | Revavroom | Previewed Pokémon; no gameplay effect summarized here. |
| ジジーロン | Drampa | Previewed Pokémon; no gameplay effect summarized here. |
| ビブラーバ | Vibrava | Previewed Pokémon; no gameplay effect summarized here. |
| シンボラーex | Sigilyph ex | Previewed Pokémon ex; no gameplay effect summarized here. |
Card identities and gameplay highlights in the table come from the official product preview. The effects have different dependencies: Mega Lucario Z ex offers access to a Supporter, Korrina’s Seriousness scales with the opponent’s Prize progress, and Mega Garchomp Z ex scales with Dragon Pokémon in the discard pile. These summaries do not replace full card text or establish additional activation conditions, attack costs or timing restrictions.
A preview selection also differs from a checklist covering every card and variant. The independent Pokémon Information reservation guide reports 78 regular card types plus secret cards. That total remains secondary-source reporting; it should not be treated as a complete official checklist. For collectors, the useful distinction is between a confirmed card identity and a confirmed printing: a previewed name alone does not establish its collector number, rarity or special-art treatment.
When does Hadou Seeker release, and how much do packs and boxes cost?

Hadou Seeker releases in Japan on Friday, November 27, 2026, according to Pokémon’s official product page . The release date is distinct from a retailer’s dispatch date or your parcel’s arrival date; check the delivery terms attached to your order.
- Pack: Pokémon lists a recommended price of ¥200 including tax, containing five randomly selected cards .
- Box: AmiAmi’s sales notice lists 30 packs for ¥6,000 including tax, with shipping charged separately .
“※カードはランダムに封入されています。” — Pokémon, official product page. English translation: “Cards are randomly included.”
Random contents do not establish a particular card or rarity allocation per box. The pack specification therefore does not promise a featured card, a special-art printing or a particular combination of rarities.
AmiAmi specifies delivery after release . Separately, Pokémon Center Online’s lottery notice schedules dispatch for November 25–28, 2026, excludes delivery before release and does not guarantee release-day arrival .
These Japanese product and sales notices do not establish international shipping eligibility, import charges or overseas retail pricing. Overseas buyers should confirm destination eligibility and the full delivered cost with their chosen seller before ordering. Use the Japanese pack and box prices as product references, rather than an estimate of what an imported order will cost.
Where can collectors apply to buy Hadou Seeker boxes?
Collectors can apply through AmiAmi’s lottery, which closes November 4, 2026, at 13:59 . Pokémon Center Online’s initial application period has closed; its November 2, 16:59 deadline is for winning applicants to place orders, not for new entries .
Time-zone caution: Neither retailer’s product-specific notice explicitly labels its time zone. Times below reproduce the notices’ clock times; confirm Japan Standard Time with the retailer before converting a deadline to your local time.
| Retailer and source status | Application window | Results and ordering deadline | Restrictions and fulfillment |

AmiAmi states that entry timing does not affect selection. Its winning email does not complete the purchase: recipients must follow the purchase instructions. Check account access and email settings before applying, then track the purchase deadline separately from the application cutoff (source: AmiAmi).
Are SNKRDUNK’s Hadou Seeker chase cards and pull rates confirmed?
No. SNKRDUNK’s chase-card ranking and predicted box composition are forecasts, not confirmed Hadou Seeker contents. Its October 26 update explicitly labels the ranking as predictions . A Pokémon or Supporter appearing in the official card preview confirms the showcased card; it does not establish that a corresponding special-art or higher-rarity printing exists.
For example, SNKRDUNK projects Mega Lucario Z ex MUR at ¥75,000 or more in market value and ¥52,500 in buyback value . Both figures are editorial predictions, not verified sales or binding dealer offers. The MUR printing itself is unconfirmed. Readers should therefore separate the existence of the previewed card from speculation about its rarity, artwork and eventual price.
SNKRDUNK also extrapolates the following box composition from earlier products:
- One card from the SAR, SR or MUR rarity categories .
- Three AR cards .
- Four RR cards .
That estimate is neither a manufacturer guarantee nor a measured Hadou Seeker opening study. It does not establish the chance of pulling a particular card, and it cannot support a predictable return from opening boxes. For the confirmed-card question, use the official preview to identify announced cards and treat SNKRDUNK’s rarity assignments, price estimates and box composition as separate forecasts.
What should collectors check before ordering Hadou Seeker?
Before ordering Hadou Seeker, match the Japanese product name ハドウシーカー to the listing, then check quantity, total cost and purchase eligibility. The official product page establishes the product specifications; each retailer’s notice governs its own ordering and delivery terms.
- Product and quantity: Confirm whether the listing covers a five-card pack or a 30-pack box .
- Total cost: Check the seller-stated price and shipping charges. AmiAmi lists shipping separately from the product price.
- Eligibility and deadlines: Check account requirements, address limits and the ordering deadline. Follow the relevant retailer’s notice; Pokémon Center Online distinguishes lottery entry from completing a winning order.
- International orders: Verify destination eligibility and delivery terms directly. Japanese lottery notices do not establish worldwide availability or eligibility for local tournament play.
The release date, official previews and listed retail specifications are established. A complete official checklist, the rarities forecast by SNKRDUNK and measured pull rates remain unconfirmed.
Updates should follow an official complete card list, official rarity disclosures, an official notice corroborating the additional lottery reported by Pokémon Information, or documented post-release sales. Order against confirmed contents, total cost and delivery terms.
