Chaos Rising Card List & Prices (122 Cards, 2026)

Q: What is the best card in Chaos Rising?

Mega Greninja ex is the defining card of the set, appearing as a Special Illustration Rare, an Ultra Rare full art, and the top-tier Mega Hyper Rare. The SIR and Mega Hyper Rare versions are the most sought-after pulls and carry the bulk of the set's value.

Q: How many cards are in the Chaos Rising set?

The set has 86 cards in the printed base with a total of 122 including secret rares — 36 secret cards in all. That secret block holds the Special Illustration Rares, Ultra Rares, and the Mega Hyper Rare that collectors chase.

Q: Is Chaos Rising worth buying sealed or should I buy singles?

For most collectors, singles are the more efficient route because value is concentrated in a few Mega Greninja cards. Sealed product makes sense mainly if you enjoy opening packs or want to build the inexpensive base set. The live figures on this page show the current math.

Q: Which Chaos Rising cards are worth grading?

The Mega Greninja ex cards are the clear grading candidates, with the Cinccino ex SIR and cards like Ampharos on the bubble depending on condition. Lower-tier secret rares generally aren't worth submission fees. Only grade copies you believe will hit gem mint.

Q: Why is Chaos Rising considered top-heavy?

Because the overwhelming share of the set's chase value lives in the Mega Greninja printings and a small handful of SIRs, while the rest of the cards trade cheaply. That makes it a focused grail hunt rather than a set with value spread evenly across many cards.

Q: Is Froakie's card in Chaos Rising valuable?

The Froakie Illustration Rare is a low-cost, well-liked pull rather than a high-value chase. It's especially appealing to collectors assembling the full Froakie–Frogadier–Greninja line, and it's an affordable way to add Greninja-line art to a collection.

What to target in Chaos Rising

The top 10 cards are 85% of the set’s $753.00 estimated singles cost — plan these first and the rest follows on a normal budget.

Value in Chaos Rising is heavily concentrated, and it concentrates on one Pokémon. The Mega Greninja ex cards — the Special Illustration Rare and the Mega Hyper Rare in particular — sit at the top and pull the most demand, with the Ultra Rare version a step below. Between the various Greninja printings and a small handful of other SIRs, the overwhelming share of the set's total chase cost lives in a very short list. That's the practical reality of a set built around a single beloved starter line.

What collectors actually love versus what merely costs money tracks closely here. The Mega Greninja artwork is the card people genuinely want on a wall or in a slab — Greninja carries enormous goodwill from its game and anime history, so demand feels real rather than manufactured. The trainer SIRs (AZ's Tranquility, Roxie's Performance) and the Cinccino, Dragalge, and Floette SIRs are attractive character and full-art cards that appeal to type and character collectors, but they trade in a softer tier. Prism Tower and the Froakie IR are the affordable, well-liked "gateway" pulls that let a set builder feel progress without draining the budget.

About this set

Why Chaos Rising matters

Chaos Rising is the fourth English set in the Mega Evolution series, landing in 2026 as the line hits its stride. It keeps the format's now-familiar recipe: a printed base of standard-rarity cards, then a deep secret-rare shelf stacked with Special Illustration Rares, Ultra Rares, and the Mega Hyper Rare treatment that defines this era. The headline is Mega Greninja ex — a Kalos-favorite Water starter given the Mega spotlight, and the card that virtually every pack-opener is chasing.

The secret block is where the set earns its identity. Mega Greninja ex appears in multiple forms across the numbering — a Special Illustration Rare, an Ultra Rare full art, and the top-end Mega Hyper Rare — and each is a genuinely distinct card rather than a reprint. Around it sit Special Illustration Rares for Cinccino ex, Mega Dragalge ex, and Mega Floette ex, plus trainer-focused SIRs for AZ's Tranquility and Roxie's Performance that lean hard into the character-art style collectors have come to prize in the Scarlet & Violet and Mega eras.

Beyond the marquee ex cards, Chaos Rising rounds out with lower-key pulls that still matter to set builders: an Illustration Rare Froakie that plays off nostalgia for the Greninja evolutionary line, and Prism Tower as an Ultra Rare stadium — a nod to Lumiose City that gives the set a bit of Kalos flavor beyond the Pokémon themselves.

Among collectors, Chaos Rising reads as a top-heavy set: a strong, recognizable chase anchor with a supporting cast that's pleasant but doesn't spread value evenly. Whether that's a plus or a minus depends on what you want out of it — a clean, focused grail hunt or a set with lots of independently valuable cards. It's firmly the former.

Collecting strategy

The smart way to complete Chaos Rising

The smart approach to Chaos Rising is to decide early whether you're master-setting or cherry-picking. Because the value is so concentrated in the Mega Greninja cards, a master set is really a hunt for a few grails wrapped around an easy common/uncommon base. If you only want the icons, you can buy three or four singles and be done.

Build the printed base set first — the 86 standard-numbered cards are cheap and quick to complete through singles or a bit of pack opening.
Fill in the regular ex and full-art trainers next; these are mid-tier and readily available.
Target the affordable secret rares — Prism Tower, the Froakie IR, and the lower-band SIRs — while prices are soft.
Commit to the Mega Greninja ex SIR and the Ultra Rare version as your mid-run centerpieces.
Close on the Mega Hyper Rare Mega Greninja ex last — it's the single hardest and priciest slot, so pay for it once when you're sure you're finishing.
Decide on graded vs. raw copies for the top cards before you buy, since that changes your budget materially.

Collecting challenges

The set is rated Medium to complete, and that rating is almost entirely about the top end. The base is genuinely easy — the secret block is where the difficulty and cost live. With 36 secret cards and value pooled in a few of them, the frustration isn't quantity, it's the price wall on the Mega Greninja chase. Anyone can get 90% of the way home cheaply; the last stretch is where the wallet gets tested.

completion difficulty

Chaos Rising is a set where the math usually favors singles, and it favors them harder than most because so much of the value sits in a tiny number of cards. When roughly the entire chase cost lives in the Mega Greninja printings and a few SIRs, ripping packs to hit them is a long-odds proposition — you'll open a lot of base cards you didn't need. Packs make sense if you value the experience of the pull, want sealed product to hold, or are building the cheap base set for fun. If your goal is specific cards — especially the Greninja grails — buy them directly and skip the variance.

Grading

Which Chaos Rising cards are worth grading?

Grading only makes sense at the top of this set. The Mega Greninja ex cards — all three printings — are the ones where a high grade adds enough premium to clear submission fees, and where population and demand justify sending copies in. The Cinccino ex SIR and select ex cards like Ampharos sit on the bubble: worth grading if you pull a visibly clean copy, not worth it for anything with edge or surface flaws. Everything below that tier is generally better left raw; the grading premium on soft-market SIRs rarely covers the cost and wait.

As always with modern holo and textured cards, condition sensitivity is the real gate — the top Greninja cards reward gem-mint copies and punish anything less, so only submit cards you'd bet on hitting a 9 or 10. The live EV figures on this page will tell you exactly where the line falls.

Word on the street

What collectors say about Chaos Rising

Collectors received Chaos Rising as a Greninja set first and everything else second — and for the many fans of the Froakie line, that's a feature, not a bug. The consensus praise centers on the Mega Greninja artwork, which people call one of the standout Mega-era chase cards. The common gripe is top-heaviness: reviewers note that outside the Greninja cards and a couple of SIRs, there isn't much that holds value, which makes the set feel thin for anyone who isn't specifically here for the ninja frog. Character-art fans generally like the AZ and Roxie SIRs even if they trade cheaply.

Tips from the community

If you only want one card, make it the Mega Greninja SIR — it's the most universally admired pull and the one that anchors the set's identity.
Build the base set from singles; it's cheap and pack odds waste money if that's your only goal.
Watch the affordable SIRs early — Dragalge, Floette, and the trainer cards often dip before settling, giving patient buyers a discount.
The Froakie IR is a low-cost, high-charm pickup for anyone assembling the full Greninja evolutionary line across sets.
Decide graded vs. raw before buying the Mega Hyper Rare — it's the biggest single line item in a master set.

Things to watch out for

Textured SIR and Mega Hyper Rare surfaces scratch easily — inspect holo faces under angled light before buying raw copies of the Greninja cards.
Centering on full-art and Mega Hyper Rare cards is the usual factory weak point; check borders before paying a gem-mint premium.
As a modern set with an in-demand chase, expect counterfeit Mega Greninja singles to appear — buy top cards from reputable sellers or in reputable slabs.
Sealed pack-weighing scams follow every hot chase card; avoid loose or resealed packs sold as guaranteed hits.
The set is current and in print, so sealed and single supply is ample — there's no urgency premium worth paying right now.

Market outlook

Where Chaos Rising goes from here

Chaos Rising is a current, in-print set, which means supply is plentiful and there's no scarcity story propping up prices in the near term. Long-term interest rests almost entirely on Mega Greninja — and that's a reasonable thing to lean on, since Greninja is one of the most durably popular Pokémon of the modern era with cross-generational goodwill from games and anime. The Mega Greninja cards are the pieces most likely to hold and build demand once the set rotates out of print; the rest of the secret block is more likely to stay soft unless a specific character or type collector base drives it.

The honest read: this is a chase-anchored set, not a broad-value set. Reprint risk within this exact set is low once it's out of production, but the Mega Greninja artwork could be echoed in future products, and print status will normalize prices while packs are readily available. Treat the Greninja cards as the reason to care and everything else as accompaniment — and collect what you love rather than betting a supporting SIR becomes a grail. None of this is financial advice.

Not financial advice — live prices and trends are above, collect what you love.
