Summary
- Pyra and Mythra’s amiibo have been reprinted and the two-pack is back up for pre-order.
- The figures will be re-released on the same day as Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.
- Perhaps another indicator that Nintendo won’t be leaving amiibo in the past once the Switch 2 is here.
Even though the Nintendo Switch 2 has been officially revealed, there has still been no mention of whether amiibo support will be coming with it. A recent restock is a promising sign the interactive collectibles are still on Nintendo’s mind though as Pyra and Mythra’s amiibo two-pack has been reprinted and restocked.
Now that Sora has an amiibo, every single character on the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster has an amiibo. That includes Pyra/Mythra who, since they have two identities, got two Smash amiibo in a single twin-pack. Amiibo aren’t available forever though and eventually, the twin-pack sold out. However, with a Xenoblade port’s release on the horizon, the amiibo are being reprinted.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is finally coming to Switch, and pre-orders are already open.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition releases exclusively on Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2025, likely making it the final big Switch game to be released before what’s to come on the Switch 2 is revealed two weeks later. The Pyra and Mythra two-pack will be re-released on the same day, and you can pre-order it through GameStop right now to make sure you have the figures on release day.

Just In Time For A New Xenoblade Game On Nintendo Switch
Even though amiibo were compatible with the Wii U, the original version of Xenoblade Chronicles X didn’t have amiibo support. There is still no confirmation that the Definitive Edition will have amiibo support either, although the re-release of Pyra and Mythra’s figures implies, at the very least, that the Smash Ultimate amiibo will do something when you tap them on the sensor while playing the upcoming port.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 did have amiibo support. Scanning pretty much any of the amiibo connected to the series would unlock cosmetics items for the corresponding characters. If the Definitive Edition of X does have amiibo support, the most likely scenario is using them will have a similar effect and unlock cosmetic items rather than anything that’s going to improve your stats and make your journey a little easier.
Super Smash Bros. Series Pyra and Mythra amiibo 2-Pack
Pyra/Mythra were turned into amiibo due to their inclusion on the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster. However, both figures in the two-pack are compatible with Xenoblade Chronicles games on Nintendo Switch as well as the latest installment in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Even though it felt a little like Nintendo’s amiibo era was ending with Sora’s release in 2024, Pyra and Mythra’s re-release is the latest in a string of hints that the figures aren’t going to be left in the past. Splatoon 3 received some new amiibo last year, and The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom was bundled with some older compatible amiibo despite not getting any new figures of its own.
