Pokémon database or Pokémon DB?
If you're looking up a Pokémon itself — its Pokédex entry, types, moves and stats — you want a Pokémon games database, such as the official Pokédex on pokemon.com or the fan site Pokémon DB. For the cards (which set a card is from, how rare it is and what it's worth) you're in the right place: a card database is organised by set, card number and rarity.
Pokémon Mega Evolution card list
The Mega Evolution series began in 2025 and brings back Mega Evolution as Mega Evolution Pokémon ex: when one is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 3 Prize cards. The Japanese sets, in order: Mega Brave (M1L) and Mega Symphonia (M1S), Inferno X (M2), Mega Dream ex (M2a), Nihil Zero (M3), Ninja Spinner (M4), Abyss Eye (M5), Storm Emeralda (M6), 30th Celebration (M6a) and Aura Seeker. See the whole Mega Evolution series. In English, Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia became the Mega Evolution set and Inferno X became Phantasmal Flames: key cards for each are in Phantasmal Flames, Destined Rivals and Prismatic Evolutions card lists.

Using a trading card database
A good trading card database answers three questions: what's in a set, how rare each card is, and what it's worth. Use the set pages for the first, our rarity guide for the second, and the Pokémon card price checker for the third.
