The Kamex Mega Battle was a large-scale event that took place at different venues across Japan and offered players the opportunity to earn invitations to the [[2016 World Championships]]. It took place at five locations across the country: at the Nagoya Trade & Industry Center, Nagoya on May 5, 2016; at Intex Osaka, Osaka on May 15, 2016; at Makuhari Messe, Chiba on May 21 and 22, 2016; and at the West Japan General Exhibition Center, Kitakyushu on May 29, 2016. | |||
Each venue held two main tournaments: the Kamex Mega Battle and the Victory Battle, plus a number of side events. All participants were given a {{TCG ID|XY-P Promo|Garchomp-EX|245}} promotional card featuring the event logo upon entry.

Each were structured in 'Stages' and players could advance by winning a requisite number of battles.

By recording a further 3 consecutive wins at the 'Premier Stage', players could progress to the single-elimination 'Climax Stage'. The top 3 players of the Victory Battle tournament would earn a {{TCG ID|XY-P|Victory Ring|Promo}} trophy card. | |||
The top 8 players from the Kamex Mega Battle tournament and the top 4 players from the Victory Battle tournament in each of their respective leagues would subsequently earn an invitation to the Kamex Mega Battle Japan Championships, held at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, Tokyo on June 19, 2016. The top 4 players of the finals in each league would earn an invitation to the World Championships, and the overall winners of each league were awarded a Mega Blastoise trophy. | |||
Players could also earn Play Points by participating in either of the main tournaments or in one of several side events and redeem them for prizes. Eligible side events included the Kangaskhan Tag Battle, the Sylveon Girls Battle, the 3 on 3 Battle, the Knockout Battle, and the Organizer's Area Mini Tournament. Players could redeem 3 Play Points for a {{TCG ID|XY-P|Crobat BREAK|Promo}} promotional card and 6 Play Points for a {{TCG ID|XY-P|M Garchomp-EX|Promo}} or {{TCG ID|XY-P|Garchomp Spirit Link|Promo}} promotional card, given at random. Participants of the Kangaskhan Tag Battle and the Sylveon Girls Battle were given an original clear file with designs reflecting the event.

The Japanese XY BREAK Era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game began in late September 2015 with the release of the dual Blue Shock and Red Flash expansion.

Below is a chronological list of all items released during this period.
