As always, I’ll be updating this guide with new cards that get leaked as we get closer to the release date. So make sure to come back often and see the latest officially revealed English Chaos Rising Pokémon cards!

Cause mischief and mayhem with these powerful Mega Pokémon ex

Once again, Chaos Rising will put a heavy emphasis on Mega Pokémon ex – just like every Mega Evolution era set before it. This time around, the spotlight will primarily be on Mega Greninja ex.

Mega Greninja ex

Indeed, Mega Greninja ex frontlines the upcoming Pokémon set in a big way: two of the top projected Chaos Rising chase cards are secret rare variants of this card. One is going to be a gorgeous Special Illustration Rare and the other the coveted Mega Hyper Rare. Despite the official Pokémon Company press release announcing this set stating that “Mega Greninja ex is just one of the new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex that can be found in this upcoming expansion,” this famous ninja Pokémon is clearly star of the show – so much so that you could see what I’m calling the Phantasmal Flames effect occur here. With so much emphasis placed on such a massively popular Pokémon’s Mega Evolution, you could see relatively low values for the other Mega Evolution SIRs in the set.

Indeed, Ash’s Mega Greninja played a huge role in one of Pokémon’s most iconic seasons, and continues to be massively relevant today as one of the franchise’s more memorable characters. As packs are cracked in search of Greninja’s rarest cards, the others might simply be sold to make up costs as collectors everywhere seek the biggest prize of them all.

Lastly, Mega Greninja ex should be a powerful card for players, with the Mortal Shuriken ability being the big standout – an ability that will let any player running this powerhouse a distinct advantage by being able to spread damage around the board in an unprecedented manner.

Clearly, there’s a lot to be excited about in Chaos Rising, but to say it’s about more than just Mega Greninja is really only half the truth.

Mega Pyroar ex

Pyroar is yet another Kalos original Pokémon whose Mega Form debuted in Pokémon Legends Z-A. Although not the showstopper Mega Greninja is, Mega Pyroar ex is still a pretty cool-looking lion-like Pokémon with a fiery mane and a solid Big Bang attack that does nearly 290 damage, making it one of the heavier hitters among Mega Pokémon ex.

Mega Floette ex

I love this Mega Floette ex card because of its cute look combined with the apocalyptic nature of its weapon. The SIR already spoiled in Chaos Rising’s sister set in Japan looks even crazier, with that ancient and powerful flower-looking weapon hanging ominously over its head. While you’ll get more of that vibe from the set’s art gallery section below featuring Mega Floette, even its Double Rare card (pictured above) is pretty cool – complete with a powerful Eternity Bloom that totally fits the lore, letting you deal crazy damage for just a basic Mega Pokémon ex while also rapidly filling your board with Basic Psychic energy.

Mega Dragalge ex

This Mega Dragalge ex card is covered in a crazy mixture of color and light, a combination that adds intrigue to this unusual looking creature. Its Pernicious Poison attack is relatively unusual for a dragon type as it looks to cause maximum damage through an enhanced Special Condition state that deals a whopping 16 damage instead of just 1 each turn. Given its high HP and lack of weakness, you could see Mega Dragalge ex popping off in poison/control decks.

Chaos Rising single prize Pokémon

Mega Pokémon ex are always stealing the show in the Pokémon TCG’s current era, but the regular single prize Pokémon – those without a rule box – deserve a little love, too. So far, we’ve been granted an early look at just one of these main set cards: Espurr.

Espurr’s Buddy Attack is no joke, either. Assuming you meet the requirements (playing Emma from your hand during your turn), Buddy Attack does a solid 70 damage, making it a nice poke attack to take out other small Pokémon early in the game.

Chaos Rising product lineup

Of course, the best way to get your hands on not just these cards but all of the other yet-to-be-revealed in English secret rares is by getting your hands on Chaos Rising products. Given this is another main set, the usual product lineup will be available, including booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, and the like.

Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box features Mega Greninja ex

I’ll highlight the Chaos Rising ETB first as it just looks so cool – clearly leaning heavily into Mega Greninja’s popularity with the character hanging upside down from his signature water shuriken. I also like the water effects splashing around the set’s logo – a definitive nod to Greninja’s largesse. In addition to the packaging, the contents for the ETB have also been revealed.

Chaos Rising artworks

Lastly, several key visuals have been released for the set, each one featuring a different Mega Pokémon. These visuals are a great way to visually immerse yourself in the characters and themes of the next big Pokémon set. They also make for great wallpapers.

Although a relatively small set, Chaos Rising hits hard. Focused around the massively bankable Mega Greninja ex and complete with resplendent artworks and new mechanics that will drive both collectors and players wild, we should see just as much frenzy for chasing this set as we have for virtually every other set in the current Mega Evolution era of the Pokémon TCG.
