Chaos Rising: release, cards and collecting guide
Checked
Chaos Rising frames a Lumiose conflict around Mega Floette ex and Mega Greninja ex, with additional Mega Evolution Pokémon ex in the lineup. That contrast gives the set a straightforward two-character collecting hook.
Release and checklist
Chaos Rising is an English Mega Evolution release dated 2026-05-22. The catalog records 86 cards in the printed base numbering and 122 numbered entries including cards beyond that numbering. These are catalog counts, not a checklist of every parallel finish or associated promo.
Notable pulls and chase targets
Our illustrated picks focus on Greninja and Floette rather than ranking the set by price. If you collect one of those Pokémon across releases, confirm the Chaos Rising number before comparing it with an older Greninja or a different version in this set.
Two printings to explore: Mega Greninja ex, 116/86, Special illustration rare, illustrated by Susumu Maeya. Mega Floette ex, 117/86, Special illustration rare, illustrated by Teeziro. These are editorial artwork picks, not a ranking by current price, a pull-rate estimate or a promise of future value.
Products and availability
The expansion released on 22 May 2026. Pokémon lists booster displays, Elite Trainer Boxes, Build & Battle boxes and Booster Bundles. The Elite Trainer Box’s Fennekin promo is a separate guaranteed product inclusion.
The dates above describe the release schedule, not live retailer stock. Product contents, availability and prices can change. Check the exact sealed product and its included promos before buying; the artwork on a box does not guarantee that card inside.
Build a collection around it
Open Holo Folder, browse Sets and search for Chaos Rising. Inspect the exact card, number, language and finish before adding it to your wants. Keep a set project in a named binder so it stays separate from your National Dex or trade cards.
At a show, use your wants to find the printing you meant to buy. Compare available price evidence, inspect condition and choose your own spending limit. Saved prices are last-known evidence when offline.
