What you need to know
Chaos Rising dropped in English on May 22, 2026 with 122 cards, six Mega Evolution Pokemon ex, and a chase-heavy secret rare tier. If you cracked packs at release you already know: the Mega Greninja ex ceiling anchors the set, Cinccino ex quietly outperformed everyone's expectations at the alt-art tier, and prices settled fast on non-Greninja hits. Here is the full chase card list with real market prices and a grade-or-hold call on each.
Legends Z-A meets the Mega Evolution mechanic
Chaos Rising is the fourth Mega Evolution Series expansion and the first English release themed around Pokemon Legends Z-A. Every Mega Evolution Pokemon ex in the set is worth three Prize cards when knocked out, printed with the black-and-yellow ex symbol. The set headlines Mega Greninja ex and Mega Floette ex, both of which appear in multiple print variants across the numbered range, the Special Illustration Rare tier, and the top-of-the-hierarchy Mega Hyper Rare tier.

Mega Greninja ex#116 · Special Illustration Rare$179.65rawThe alt-art Mega Greninja ex is the anchor card of the set. Trades hands at over $200 raw and pulls a strong PSA 10 premium when centering cooperates. If you pulled one, sleeve it and decide grade-or-sell before summer 2026 restocks land.
Mega Greninja ex#122 · Mega Hyper Rare$172.21rawFull-art gold-treatment Mega Greninja ex. Second-highest-market card in the set. Slightly less centering-critical than the SIR but still worth grading if raw is Near Mint.
Cinccino ex#119 · Special Illustration Rare$55.43rawCinccino ex is the surprise of the set. Not a Mega Evolution, but the alt-art print is a collector favorite and clears the $60 raw mark consistently. Modern art demand is what is driving this one.
Mega Dragalge ex#118 · Special Illustration Rare$36.05rawMega Dragalge ex alt art sells in the $35 to $45 range. Fewer copies pulled than the top two but nowhere near the raw ceiling. Hold if you already have one.
Mega Floette ex#117 · Special Illustration Rare$52.99rawMega Floette ex alt art. Second-headline Mega but the market never treated it like a top chase. Around $30 raw. PSA 10 potential is real but pricing does not justify the fee yet.
Roxie's Performance#121 · Special Illustration Rare Trainer$21.41rawRoxie's Performance is the top Supporter Trainer card in the set. Alt-art trainer cards from the Mega Evolution block have been climbing in general, and this one at around $20 could double if it sees play in a competitive deck.
Pull rates and box math
Estimates based on public pull rate data and community reports.
- One Mega Hyper Rare pulls at roughly 1 in 180 packs. Expect 2 to 3 per booster box.
- Special Illustration Rares (the alt arts) pull around 1 in 45 packs. A booster box averages 8 to 10 hits across all SIRs.
- Cinccino ex SIR is one of nine SIRs in the set, so your odds of pulling this specific card in a box are around 1 in 5.
- Elite Trainer Boxes include a guaranteed art card slot and typically have a slightly higher SIR rate than raw boosters.
- Japanese Ninja Spinner cracks tend to weight the same chase cards but cost 30 to 40 percent less per pack. If you are opening for the chase, JP is the value play.
Should you grade the chase cards?
Grade-or-sell recommendations by card, based on current PSA 10 sold prices.
- Mega Greninja ex SIR (#116): grade if raw is clean Near Mint. PSA 10 sold prices are 4 to 5 times raw. Centering usually favorable on this print run.
- Mega Greninja ex MHR (#122): grade only if raw is $180+ and centering is at least 55/45. Foil cards from this era show print lines that cost you the 10.
- Everything else in the top 10: sell raw. Grading fee plus wait time does not clear the profit gap.
- For all cards: check the front-back centering with a lamp. Off-center prints cap at PSA 8 regardless of surface quality.
