Mega Evolution — Chaos RisingThe Complete Set Guide

What Is Pokémon TCG: Chaos Rising?
Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution — Chaos Rising is the fourth expansion in the Mega Evolution series, releasing worldwide on May 22, 2026. Based on Japan's Ninja Spinner set, the English version adds three exclusive cards not found in Japan: Mega Gallade ex, Krookodile ex, and the Trainer card Adversity Policy.
The set's story is pulled directly from Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Lumiose City is under siege — Mega Floette ex, AZ's long-lost Eternal Flower Pokémon, has returned as a force of destruction. As night falls across the city, Mega Greninja ex rallies the other Mega Evolutions to push back the chaos before it's too late. That narrative tension runs through every piece of card artwork, making this one of the most thematically cohesive sets in recent memory.
For collectors, Chaos Rising marks Greninja's first-ever official Mega Evolution TCG card — a moment the community has waited years for. For players, Japanese tournament data from Ninja Spinner suggests Mega Greninja ex's Mortal Shuriken ability could reshape the competitive meta by spreading damage across the board in an unprecedented way.
💡 Why it matters: Greninja consistently ranks at the top of official Pokémon popularity polls worldwide. Its Mega Evolution debut in the TCG is a historic milestone — and the demand reflects exactly that.
Chaos Rising Set Stats at a Glance
Top Chase Cards in Chaos Rising
Five Mega Evolution Pokémon ex headline the set alongside a deep pool of Illustration Rares and Special Illustration Rares. Here are the cards driving the biggest hype — with real card images:
🥷 Mega Greninja ex — #022
The undisputed star of Chaos Rising and Greninja's first-ever Mega Evolution TCG card. The Mortal Shuriken ability lets you spread damage across your opponent's board every turn — a game-changing mechanic. Two secret rare variants exist: a Special Illustration Rare and the ultra-chase Mega Hyper Rare, both already tracking as the most valuable cards in the entire Mega Evolution block.
Est. SIR: $150–$300 · MHR: $150–$300+
🌸 Mega Floette ex — #035
AZ's eternal companion returned as something far more dangerous. A genuinely strong playable card — Eternity Bloom hits for 200 damage and attaches four Basic Energy from your deck to your Benched Pokémon. The SIR artwork by Teeziro is already drawing massive collector attention thanks to both playability and the set's emotional narrative weight.
Est. SIR: $80–$150
🔥 Mega Pyroar ex — #015
A Kalos original debuting its Mega form from Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Its fiery mane and powerful Big Bang attack — hitting for nearly 290 damage — makes it one of the hardest-hitting Mega Pokémon ex in the set. Slots naturally into Fire archetypes benefiting from the existing Oricorio ex acceleration package.
Est. SIR: $60–$120
🐉 Mega Dragalge ex — #065 / SIR #118
The sleeper pick of the set. Dragon/Poison is a rare and visually striking combo, and the Pernicious Poison attack enhances Special Conditions to deal 16 damage per turn instead of 1 — a poison/control strategy unlike anything in the current format. High HP with no weakness makes this a competitive wildcard to watch.
Est. SIR: $50–$100
⚔️ Mega Gallade ex — English Exclusive
Not found in Japan's Ninja Spinner. This 350 HP Fighting-type beast hits for a clean 200 damage with Gale Cut if it has zero damage counters — a first-swing nuke that gives Fighting archetypes the burst damage they've been missing. Can also tech into Gardevoir ex decks as a powerful situational attacker.
Est.: $20–$50
🐝 Beedrill ex — #003
Don't sleep on this one. Rumbling Bees stacks damage for each Beedrill in play — capable of knocking out even Mega Pokémon ex for just one Grass Energy. A surprisingly threatening budget attacker that rewards building around the Beedrill line.
Est.: $10–$25🏆 The Crown Jewel: The Mega Greninja ex Mega Hyper Rare is the most hyped single card in the Mega Evolution block. Pre-release pricing already positioned it among the most valuable cards in the entire series before a single English pack was cracked — a clear signal of sustained long-term demand.
Pull Rates & Your Odds
Based on data from previous Mega Evolution sets (Perfect Order, Ascended Heroes) and Japanese Ninja Spinner results, here are the estimated pull rates for Chaos Rising:
| Rarity | Est. Odds | Per Display Box (36 packs) |
|---|---|---|
| Illustration Rare | ~1 in 6 packs | ~6 per box |
| Pokémon ex / Ultra Rare | ~1 in 8 packs | ~4–5 per box |
| Special Illustration Rare | ~1 in 30–40 packs | ~1 per box (not guaranteed) |

⚠️ Estimates based on comparable Mega Evolution sets. The Pokémon Company does not publish official pull rates. Actual results will vary.
