Series: Mega Evolution
Chaos Rising Release Date: May 22, 2026
Set Abbreviation: CRI
10. Ampharos (Illustration Rare) – $11.52
Card Number: #090/086
Rarity: Illustration Rare
Ampharos has been a huge fan-favorite for years. Has there ever even been a bad Ampharos card art? Well, this one certainly keeps the trend going. An affordable entry point into the set, this card showcases Ampharos looking over a field of Mareep. Or is it branching out on its own after evolving? One thing is for sure, the warmth of this card makes it a reasonable, and potentially undervalued chase card.
9. Froakie (Illustration Rare) – $13.00
Card Number: #088/086
Rarity: Illustration Rare
Unlike many of the Mega Evolution era sets, Chaos Rising brings together the entire evolution line of the set mascot! This means one of the more popular starters of all time gets a slot in the top 10 with this beginning of a connected card art across the entire line!
8. Mega Greninja ex (Ultra Rare) – $18.17
Card Number: #100/086
Rarity: Ultra Rare
As has become a trend, all three set mascot cards break through onto this list, starting with the Ultra Rare Mega Greninja ex. It can't be said enough that the Ultra Rares in the Mega Evolution era have really shone with their color schemes, as well as featuring the non-mega form of the Pokémon, and this one is no different with its orange and blue swirls.
7. Roxie's Performance (Special Illustration Rare) – $29.31
Card Number: #121/086
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Tomowaka was given the creative freedom to really showcase Roxie's punk rock attitude in our first SIR trainer card of the list. Surrounded by crossbones, skulls, and even a neon Koffing, this card is perfect for the collectors chasing unique and vibrant card art.
6. AZ's Tranquility (Secret Illustration Rare) – $39.21
Card Number: #120/086
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
On the flipside of the Trainer Card coin, we have AZ's Tranquility. Warm tones, relaxing vibes, and surrounder by a garden with his signature unique Floette. This card is an excellent addition to a cozy binder.
5. Mega Floette ex (Special Illustration Rare) — $44.35
Card Number: #117/086
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Speaking of Floette, next up is the Mega Evolution of the same Floette from the previous card. The texture, light, and colors on this card make it pop, and shows why people pulling this card in the wild get genuinely excited despite it barely cracking the top 5.
4. Mega Dragalge ex (Special Illustration Rare) — $50.79
Card Number: #118/086
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
My personal chase card of the set, this Mega Dragalge ex is postured and intimidating. Swimming through a sea of beautiful pinks, purples, and oranges, this card shows why Dragalge received one of the better Mega Evolutions in Legends: Z-A. Just make sure you don't touch the swirling toxins in the water!
3. Cinccino ex (Special Illustration Rare) — $80.24
Card Number: #119/086
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Cinccino is no stranger to being a chase card in a set, and Chaos Rising is no exception. A playful Cinccino is seen bouncing around a pillow and blanket covered room without a care in the world.
2. Mega Greninja ex (Mega Hyper Rare) — $246.44
Card Number: #122/086
Rarity: Mega Hyper Rare
If you've been following along with the Mega Evolution era, it may come as no surprise that Mega Greninja ex was going to take the top two spots on this list, but whether the Mega Hyper Rare or Special Illustration Rare version was going to take the top spot was anyone's guess. With the gold card taking the silver medal that can only mean one thing...
1. Mega Greninja ex (Special Illustration Rare) — $270.78
Card Number: #116/086
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Finishing up the list we, of course, have the Mega Greninja ex Special Illustration Rare. Finishing the story started by the Froakie mentioned earlier, this card is bursting with energy and motion. The swirls of blue and orange with a hidden Greninja cameo in the reflection makes this card much more refined than the chaos in the sets name.

Final Thoughts
Chaos Rising has continued the trend of immediate hype and significant lull that we've seen with the smaller sets in the Mega Evolution era, but that doesn't mean there isn't something for all collector types in this set. With Illustration Rares as low as $2.50, this set could be one that Master Setters really lean into.
