Pokemon Chaos Rising Set & Product Guide

Pokemon Chaos Rising is an English Pokemon TCG expansion released May 22, 2026. The cards are numbered through 122, even though the denominator printed on the set is 86. This guide includes every card from 001 to 122, explains one 208-slot binder plan, and compares the five sealed products confirmed by Pokemon.

The easy mistake is stopping the binder at 086. That leaves 36 numbered cards out, including the Illustration Rares, Ultra Rares, Special Illustration Rares, and Mega Greninja ex 122. Another common mix-up is shopping for “Mega Greninja ex” without a number; the set has four different cards with that name.

The card list below was checked against Pokemon's English checklist on August 10, 2026. It is meant to be used at a card show, beside a binder, or while comparing a listing: number first, then name, rarity, and finish.

What Is Pokemon Chaos Rising and When Did It Release?

Chaos Rising reached physical English products on May 22, 2026. It is expansion four in the Pokemon TCG Mega Evolution Series. The featured Mega Evolution Pokemon ex are Mega Greninja, Mega Pyroar, Mega Floette, and Mega Dragalge. A May 21 result is referring to TCG Live.

Pokemon's release announcement supplies the May 22 date and fourth-expansion description. At announcement time, Pokemon described more than 120 cards, more than 20 Trainer cards, and more than 35 cards with special illustrations. The English checklist is more exact about numbering: it ends at 122.

May 21 at 10:00 a.m. PT came from the digital release. TCG Live opened its packs, code redemption, Battle Pass, and online play then. That timestamp belongs with the client, even when it appears beside photos of physical cards in search results.

Ninja Spinner can also turn up in the same research session. Bulbapedia records that Japanese product on March 13, 2026. Its packs hold five cards and its boxes hold 30 packs. It is related source material, not another name for an English Chaos Rising box. English names, numbers, language, and product formats remain distinct. Pokemon TCG Pocket is outside this physical set as well.

For the broader naming problem, see the Pokemon cards guide. On this page, Chaos Rising without another qualifier means the physical English expansion.

A listing dated May 21 still needs its pictured product identified. The date alone cannot turn digital access into a sealed English release.

A collection spreadsheet can therefore keep May 22 in the release field and put May 21 in a separate TCG Live note.

How Many Cards Are in Pokemon Chaos Rising?

Chaos Rising has 122 numbered English cards. The slash still reads /86 because 86 closes the printed-denominator portion. This guide's 208-slot binder is optional: all 122 identities, plus reverse-holo copies for 001-086. Pokemon does not publish 208 as the official master-set size.

Three cards settle the apparent mismatch. Nitro Fire Energy carries 086/086. Chespin follows as 087/086. Mega Greninja ex finishes the sequence at 122/086. Promos, stamps, other languages, errors, grades, and unnumbered treatments are not additional identities inside that 122-card total.

Stopping a binder at 086 is a valid main-portion project, but 36 numbered cards remain. Froakie 088 and Mega Greninja ex 116 are among them. To call the binder a complete numbered set, its pages must continue through 122.

The 36 cards beyond the denominator are not one rarity. The checklist icons divide them into Illustration Rares at 087-097, Ultra Rares at 098-115, Special Illustration Rares at 116-121, and the single Mega Hyper Rare at 122.

The 208 binder gives two pockets to every number through 086, one regular and one reverse holo. Cards 087-122 need a single pocket under this convention. Nothing on the card calls that project 208; the total comes from adding 86 treatment slots to 122 numbered identities.

A tracker needs both numbering facts. Store 86 as the printed denominator and 122 as the checklist's final collector number. Chespin should remain 087/086 in a want list or trade note. Recasting it as 87/122 would create a number that is not printed on the card.

A six-pack Bundle adds six openings, not six guaranteed empty-slot fixes. The Pokemon pack pull-rate guide handles that separate question.

Pokemon Chaos Rising Card List: 122-Row Source Audit

Every numbered English Chaos Rising card appears in the rarity-grouped appendix below, from Weedle 001 to Mega Greninja ex 122. Search the page for a number or name when you need a quick identity check. Use the CSV or JSON when you need sorting, reverse-holo eligibility, scope fields, an exact PDF locator, source URLs, or the verification date.

The names and numbers come from Pokemon's ME04 English checklist PDF. The copy used here has SHA-256 4592ec3bc0dba59c7ed01071e15a0f591e4280975c3af1ee0f971d3446d57676; the normalized 122-row file has checksum c11cbd7de11310556e3f2bace0d1f189d47c5d28078c030c764c9d57f4cf331f. TCG Watchtower's set page supplies the reverse-holo convention used for the optional 208-card project. It does not replace Pokemon's numbered list.

Rarity needed a visual check because the PDF's text layer drops the icons. We read the symbol beside each card and matched it to the legend at the bottom of the page. Typographic apostrophes were normalized. The only declared name expansions are the three Energy glyph entries at 084-086.

On-page evidence appendix: cards are grouped under the rarity printed in Pokemon's checklist. Within a group, each entry is collector number + card name. This gives a screen reader or browser search a direct identity match without forcing every audit field into the reading flow. The complete row-level evidence remains in the downloads after the appendix.

Need a working binder sheet? The CSV audit sorts cleanly. Need to inspect how a row was proved? The JSON audit retains the schema, evidence map, source hashes, inclusion rules, and exclusions. A citation should use the collector number, August 10, 2026 version date, rarity, PDF code, and official source rather than a temporary spreadsheet row.

Any future checklist correction should change the affected PDF code, source hash, row checksum, and check date together. A quiet name swap would fail that audit trail.

Current-inventory note: this research did not verify Chaos Rising, any sealed Chaos Rising product, or any named card as available through Pullmarket. The /pokemon-packs link below is a separate live category; inspect the cards and odds shown on the pack page you actually open.

Which Chaos Rising Rarities and Cards Stand Out?

Mega Greninja ex 122 carries the only Mega Hyper Rare label in the audited checklist. That does not make the other Greninja entries interchangeable: 022 is Double Rare, 100 is Ultra Rare, and 116 is Special Illustration Rare. Froakie 088, Frogadier 089, and Mega Greninja ex 116 also join into one three-card artwork.

The appendix gives the count its own shape. Common and Uncommon account for 38 and 26 identities. The rest of the printed-denominator portion is 12 Rares and 10 Double Rares, bringing that side to 86. Beyond it sit 11 Illustration Rares, 18 Ultra Rares, six Special Illustration Rares, and one Mega Hyper Rare. Together those groups reconcile to all 122 numbered identities.

Suppose a seller writes only “Mega Greninja ex.” That could mean Double Rare 022, Ultra Rare 100, Special Illustration Rare 116, or Mega Hyper Rare 122. The number changes the card. It belongs in the search, want list, and sale record every time.

Pokemon's record for 116/122 names it as a Special Illustration Rare by Susumu Maeya. Place it to the right of Froakie 88 and Frogadier 89: Pokemon's connected-art feature confirms that the three illustrations make a horizontal scene by the same artist. That is a small, source-backed collecting project inside the larger set.

The remaining Special Illustration Rares are Mega Floette ex 117, Mega Dragalge ex 118, Cinccino ex 119, AZ's Tranquility 120, and Roxie's Performance 121. Mega Greninja ex 122 then closes the list as the sole Mega Hyper Rare. “Best” may mean the connected art, a favorite character, a deck card, or the rarest label. A current price ranking would be a different project and needs current sold records.

The Charizard UPC guide uses the same identity-first habit on another product: identify the exact card or item before asking what it sells for.

What Does the Chaos Rising Pokemon Master Set Count Include?

The 208-card binder plan used here is 122 numbered cards plus reverse-holo copies of cards 001-086. It leaves promos, stamped versions, other languages, errors, grades, duplicates, packaging, and later variants out. Pokemon does not call 208 the official master-set size; it is one clearly defined way to build the binder.

The arithmetic fits on a divider card:

122 numbered identities + 86 reverse-holo variants = 208 collector entries

Under this convention, each Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Double Rare from 001 through 086 gets a second slot for the reverse holo. Cards 087-122 get one slot apiece. The RH column in the checklist shows the rule card by card.

A simple layout puts the regular card and reverse holo side by side through 086, then gives each card from 087 onward one space. The finish is still the same collector number; the extra slot records a treatment, not a newly numbered card.

Promos and stamped cards need their own page if you collect them. Bulbapedia's Chaos Rising reference lists additional stamped and product variants separately. The 208 plan also ignores language changes, errors, misprints, packaging, duplicate copies, and whether a copy is raw or graded.

There is no penalty for choosing 86, 122, or something larger. Label the project on the first binder page. “001-086 main set,” “001-122 numbered set,” and “208 regular plus reverse-holo plan” tell another collector exactly what an empty slot means.

A tracker only needs the fields you will act on: number, name, rarity, treatment, and whether you own it. Add language or condition if those matter to your project. The graded-versus-raw card guide covers the separate question of what kind of copy belongs in that slot.

Which Pokemon Chaos Rising Product Should You Buy?

There is no useful “best” Chaos Rising box without the missing piece of the shopping note. Six loose-from-the-box openings points to the Booster Bundle; 36 points to the Display. Fennekin promos point to an ETB. A ready-to-play 40-card deck points to Build & Battle. One exact checklist card points away from sealed product and toward a matched single.

Pokemon's official product showcase resolves a messy cart comparison.

The two pack-only choices are far apart. A Booster Bundle contains six boosters. A Booster Display contains 36; each of those packs has 10 cards and one Basic Energy. Neither choice is buying the ETB accessory package.

The Fennekin cart has two near-matching names. A standard Elite Trainer Box contains nine packs, one full-art Fennekin promo, a player's guide, storage, 65 sleeves, 40 Energy cards, damage-counter dice, a coin-flip die, and a plastic coin. The Pokemon Center Elite Trainer Box moves to 11 packs and two Fennekin promos; one of those promos bears the Pokemon Center logo. It otherwise carries the ETB contents.

Build & Battle belongs on a different receipt. It contains four packs, a ready-to-play 40-card deck, and one of four possible foil promos. A buyer who wants the starting deck is not making the same decision as someone comparing 6 versus 36 boosters.

Cart note: sleeves already owned, no promo wanted, six packs enough for tonight. That leaves the Bundle. The 36-pack Display is more opening than the note asked for; either ETB brings accessories or Fennekin into a purchase that was supposed to be packs only. Later, “Pokemon Center-logo Fennekin” was added to the note. At that point the 11-pack Pokemon Center ETB became the relevant product.

Mega Greninja ex 116 written by itself at the bottom changes the shopping trip again. No sealed format establishes that exact result. A matched single settles its number and rarity before purchase. Packs still fit a collector who would be happy with several possible cards and wants the opening itself.

The best Pokemon pack guide compares formats beyond Chaos Rising. This page does not rank current prices because no same-time shopping snapshot was collected.

Pokemon Chaos Rising Booster Bundle vs 36-Pack Display

Marketplace note: “bundle” matched Pokemon's six-pack Booster Bundle; “display box” matched the 36-pack Booster Display. The second product holds six times as many packs, a difference of 30 openings. Neither listing should be treated as an ETB, a current price comparison, or evidence for pulling one named card.

Rejected listing: “Chaos Rising booster box,” no pack count visible. Accepted identity: six packs with the Booster Bundle name, or 36 packs with Booster Display Box. The thumbnail alone did not settle which one the seller meant.

The receipt check is deliberately blunt. If the seller confirms six packs, compare it as a Bundle. If the seller confirms 36, compare it as a Display. If the count remains missing, neither the word “box” nor a stock photo supplies the absent product fact. Resolve the format before comparing condition, shipping, or price.

Picture two collectors. One opens a Bundle after dinner; the other works through a Display over a weekend. The second collector opens 30 more packs. We can say that much exactly. We cannot turn it into a chance at Mega Greninja ex 116 without a trustworthy rate for that card and a model for how packs were collated.

Each Display booster contains 10 cards and one Basic Energy. Multiplying the ten card slots by 36 describes the size of the opening, not the number of unique cards that will land in the binder. Duplicates are part of the real result.

Choose the Bundle when six packs sound like enough. Choose the Display when you specifically want the 36-pack session. Move to an ETB for Fennekin or accessories, and move to a single when the want list has narrowed to one card.

The probability distinction is worked through in how online card pack odds work.

Neither pack-only format includes the Fennekin promo or the ETB accessories listed for the Trainer Boxes.

Pokemon Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box Contents Compared

The standard Chaos Rising ETB has nine packs and one full-art Fennekin promo. The Pokemon Center ETB has 11 packs and two Fennekin promos, one bearing the Pokemon Center logo. Build & Battle is different: four packs plus a ready-to-play 40-card deck with one of four foil promos.

The standard ETB also carries 65 sleeves, 40 Energy cards, damage-counter dice, a coin-flip die, a plastic coin, a player's guide, and storage. The Pokemon Center version adds two boosters and the second, logo-bearing Fennekin. Those are the differences to verify when two boxes share most of their name.

For a regular full-art Fennekin, the standard box already supplies the promo. For the Pokemon Center-logo version, the product name must actually say Pokemon Center. Whether the extra promo and two packs justify a seller's premium depends on the live listing, its condition, and its price that day.

Build & Battle is the play box. Its 40-card ready-to-play deck and one-of-four foil promo are why it exists; judging it only by four boosters misses most of the product. TCG Live also has a digital Build & Battle mode built around a 40-card limited-pool deck. That mode is useful context, but it is not the physical box.

The online card pack directory covers a different kind of opening from an ETB or Build & Battle box.

For a sealed-box comparison, match the complete product name before comparing pack count or promo contents.

What Do Chaos Rising Pull Rates Actually Prove?

Accepted research record: TCGplayer's Authentication Center opened more than 8,500 physical Chaos Rising packs and reported observations with 95% confidence intervals. Rejected claim: “therefore the next pack follows that rate.” An exact-card estimate adds another condition because TCGplayer assumes identities inside a rarity are equally populated.

The TCGplayer pull-rate study is the record to inspect for its displayed results. This guide verified the sample-size and method statements, but not every rate closely enough to copy the table here.

Crossed out in the notebook: “95% confidence” rewritten as “95% chance for my box.” The interval belongs to the estimate made from the observed sample. It is not a promise attached to a sealed Bundle or Display, and a different sample may land elsewhere.

Second rejected line: “SIR observation = Mega Greninja ex 116 observation.” Card 116 is one of six Special Illustration Rare identities. Moving from the rarity count to that Greninja requires the equal-population assumption stated by TCGplayer; the Pokemon sources used here do not establish it as a manufacturing fact.

One usable note from the study would read: physical packs; more than 8,500 opened; event named; observation reported with a 95% interval. A separate line would record whether the question concerns a rarity or an exact identity. Leaving that second line blank is better than quietly borrowing the rarity observation for a named card.

Scope written on the accepted card: physical Chaos Rising boosters. TCG Live, Pokemon TCG Pocket, Japanese Ninja Spinner, and Pullmarket packs do not belong in that sample. Bundle versus Display changes the number of those physical boosters opened, not the study's per-booster observation.

An opening log can say six packs came from a Bundle and 36 came from a Display. It cannot promote those 42 personal openings into a replacement for TCGplayer's sample. Quantity belongs in the log; the published observation stays with the study that measured it.

Confidence intervals, rarity denominators, and the move from rarity to exact-card estimates are unpacked in the Pokemon pull-rate methodology.

How Should You Check Chaos Rising Card Values?

The first “Mega Greninja ex” price result was unusable. It showed an asking price but omitted the collector number, language, condition, sale date, and whether a sale happened. Chaos Rising alone offers four possible identities: 022, 100, 116, and 122. Raw copies, Grade 9 slabs, and PSA 10 slabs were also mixed together. No fresh market snapshot was collected here, so this guide does not publish a value ranking.

On the result screen, one card was Japanese. Another was an English raw copy with damage. A PSA 10 appeared beside an unsold listing. None matched the question being researched: an English raw Mega Greninja ex 116/122. Name-only searches also collide for Mega Floette ex, Mega Dragalge ex, Cinccino ex, AZ's Tranquility, and Roxie's Performance because each has more than one checklist identity.

PriceCharting's Chaos Rising page places ungraded, Grade 9, and PSA 10 records in different lanes. A raw 116 with uncertain centering does not become comparable to a PSA 10 because both appear on the same set page. Combining them would describe neither copy.

The useful entry eventually read “Mega Greninja ex 116/122, English, raw single.” It was a completed sale with front and back shown; the note also kept the date and shipping treatment. The damaged copy was set aside for condition. The multi-card lot was set aside because it was not a single. One unusually high or low result still needed neighboring completed sales before it could say much about the market.

For a slab, the grader and numeric grade belong in the identity. For a raw copy, the photos have to carry the surface, centering, edge, and corner comparison. Records should be refreshed when the decision is current. An older sale is useful history, not an offer that still exists.

The Beckett checklist reference is useful for confirming card and rarity structure. It is not a price feed. We leave out “most valuable” and investment rankings because the necessary dated market comparison was not part of this research.

The graded versus raw card comparison helps decide whether you want direct inspection of a raw card or the assigned grade and holder that come with a slab.

How to Choose Your Next Pokemon Opening After Chaos Rising Research

For a short Chaos Rising opening, choose the six-pack Bundle; for volume, choose the 36-pack Display. Pick the standard ETB for its regular Fennekin promo, the Pokemon Center ETB for the logo promo, or Build & Battle for the 40-card deck. If you want one exact checklist card, compare singles instead.

Match the purchase to the thing you would miss if it were removed:

For a Chaos Rising reader, the split is specific. If the target is Mega Greninja ex 116 or another exact checklist number, compare that single. If the target is an immediate Pokemon reveal instead, the live Pullmarket category shows each pack's cards and odds before purchase. Outcomes are real physical collectibles and may be raw or third-party graded. A pull can stay in the Vault, ship, trade where enabled, or sell back at a market-based buyback for Pullmarket Gems; Gems are store credit, not cash.

The card may already be held by Pullmarket, or it may be reserved through verified supplier or partner-vault inventory and sourced when redeemed. The how Pullmarket works page documents that hybrid fulfillment boundary.

No Chaos Rising product or named card is implied by that route. The individual live pack is the record to inspect.

Exact Chaos Rising number: use the checklist and current singles. Immediate online Pokemon opening: inspect the live pack and its published odds.
