Pokemon TCG Preview: Everything We Know About Mega Evolution Chaos Rising
The Pokemon TCG community is buzzing around the next major expansion, Mega Evolution Chaos Rising. The latest leaks and set details now provide a clearer picture of what players and collectors can expect before launch on May 22, 2026.
A Focused Set List
Chaos Rising is currently reported at 86 cards before secret rares. That relatively tight checklist could make master set completion more realistic while still creating strong demand for the top rarity cards.
The Star Players: Mega ex Pokemon
- Mega Greninja ex (350 HP): Uses Mortal Shuriken to place 6 damage counters by discarding Water Energy.
- Mega Pyroar ex (340 HP): A durable Fire threat with Ferocious Bellow and a heavy Fiery Big Bang attack.
- Mega Floette ex (250 HP): Utility focused Psychic attacker with healing and energy acceleration options.
- Mega Dragalge ex (330 HP): Status condition focused Darkness attacker built around poison pressure.
When high HP cards like these enter a format, older counter staples often move quickly in price. Monitoring those shifts daily can make a meaningful difference before release week volatility spikes.
