Below, we’ll be looking at each and every Perfect Order card revealed in English to date. Make sure to come back often as I’ll be updating this guide with new cards that gets leaked as we get closer to the release date.

New Mega Pokemon ex join the fray in Perfect Order
While the Mega Clefable and Mega Starmie ex cards have been confirmed to be part of the set, we have been granted a first look at the mighty Mega Zygarde ex card which plays a huge role in Perfect Order. In addition to the three confirmed Mega Pokemon ex cards, we could also be getting a yet-to-be-confirmed Mega Skarmory ex card that is included in Perfect Order’s Japanese sister set, Nihil Zero.
Mega Zygarde ex
Mega Zygarde is perhaps the biggest Pokemon name coming to the game in Perfect Order. And its card looks nuts. If I’m reading it correctly, the insane Nullifying Zero attack seems to be capable of knocking out your opponent’s entire board of Pokemon at once – dealing 150 damage to each Pokemon for each heads you get (flipping a coin for each Pokemon on your opponent’s bench and in the Active spot).
While coin flip-based attacks are always a bit risky, the chance to pull a blanket knockout like this might just be enticing enough for players to actually attempt it.
Playability aside, Zygarde is an important Pokemon within the lore. It plays a huge role in the excellent Pokemon: XYZ anime, and its Mega form was only recently introduced into the Pokemon World with the Pokemon Legends: Z-A game. All of that combined with its unique gameplay mechanic could make for a very, very in-demand special illustration rare chase card assuming we get one when the set releases in English.

Meowth ex
Meowth ex is already making waves online especially amongst competitive Pokemon TCG players who see its “Last-Ditch Catch” as a potentially disruptive mechanic for the Pokemon TCG game. Supporter Trainer cards are among the strongest cards in the Pokemon TCG, and being able to use Meowth ex to search out any Supporter card from your deck grants a particularly strong edge to many decks. While “Tuck Tail” isn’t a particularly strong attack offensively, it does provide a solid way to remove Meowth ex from your bench where it otherwise is something of a liability (granting two relatively easy prizes to get when it is knocked out).
We haven’t had a card with this ability in the game since the days of Lumineon V – a card that saw huge play amongst a variety of decks. Meowth ex could add considerable viability especially to basic Pokemon decks that don’t have the bandwidth to evolve into higher evolution consistency cards like Pidgeot ex for example.
Meowth ex could also make for a solid chase for collectors who either harbor a special fondness for the mischievous Meowth character, for Pokemon from the original generation, or maybe a little bit of both – especially if this card ends up getting an SIR version in this set.
Perfect Order promo cards
We’ve had an early look at more than one promo card coming out with Perfect Order.
Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box Promo
First up is this very exciting Tyrunt Pokemon card which can be found in the Perfect Order ETB. I’ve had a love for Tyrunt ever since watching the Pokemon XY anime series that features the Pokemon Region that Tyrunt originates from: Kalos. Of course, Tyrunt bears significance for this reason, as the Mega Evolution era is highly based on the Kalos region where the latest Pokemon Legends: Z-A game takes place.
It’s always exciting to get an early look at upcoming ETB promos as they often feature unique artwork, and this Tyrunt is no exception. And while the majority of ETB promos may not be worth a ton, sometimes these promo cards end up being worth a decent amount, like in the case of the highly popular Snorlax ETB promo we got back in the Pokemon 151 set.
Above is pictures two different versions of the Tyrunt promo – one which will be available in the standard ETB you’ll find at local game shops and big box stores as well as the Pokemon Center exclusive promo bearing the stamp which can only be found in Pokemon Center Elite Trainer Boxes sold directly from the Pokemon Center and its online store.
Perfect Order Blister promos
While less exciting than the Tyrunt promo card, we have also had an early look at two different promo cards that will be getting released as part of the typical blister pack promo run. These promos feature a serene Chikorita which should be a popular option for players playing the upcoming Mega Meganium ex deck

Makuhita promo
You can also get a neat Makuhita promo with artwork that was originally released in Japanese as a gym promo and now available in English!
Perfect Order product lineup
The Perfect Order product lineup has also been revealed. While I wrote about these products in depth in an earlier article, you can find each and every product revealed so far below.
Perfect Order artworks
Lastly, Pokemon has released several artworks that perfectly capture the theme of this set – each focused on one of the three confirmed Mega Pokemon making their Pokemon TCG debut in Perfect Order. Oh, and there’s also one for Meowth, too.
While Perfect Order has big shoes to fill following on the heels of the extraordinary Ascended Heroes special set releasing throughout 2026, its focus on core Mega Pokemon ex and gameplay mechanics should present a broad appeal to both collectors and players, making it a strong way to start the main set releases this year. I’ll be making more updates to this page as new card reveals are made in English so again – bookmark this page and make sure to check back often!
