The Chase Cards of Chaos Rising: What Everyone Is Hunting

Every Pokémon TCG set has its stars—but Mega Evolution—Chaos Rising is shaping up to be a collector’s frenzy. Driven by stunning artwork, ultra-low pull rates, and competitive potential, this set’s chase cards are already generating serious hype before release. At the center of it all is one clear truth: Chaos Rising is a Greninja set.

The undisputed crown jewel is Mega Greninja ex (Special Illustration Rare). This card isn’t just the face of the set—it’s the defining chase. With dynamic ninja-themed artwork and strong in-game utility, it checks every box collectors look for: popularity, playability, and visual impact. Early projections suggest it could become one of the most valuable cards of the Mega Evolution era, with massive demand fueled by Greninja’s long-standing fanbase. 

Right behind it is the Mega Greninja ex Hyper Rare (gold variant). These gold-textured cards represent the absolute peak of rarity in modern Pokémon sets. With pull rates rumored to be extremely low, this version is expected to be one of the hardest cards to obtain—making it a top-tier prize for serious collectors chasing prestige over playability. ()

Another major highlight is Mega Floette ex (Special Illustration Rare). While not as iconic as Greninja, this card stands out for its elegant artwork and unique support role in gameplay. It appeals to both competitive players and collectors who prioritize aesthetic value, giving it strong staying power in the market.

Trainer cards are also a huge part of the chase in Chaos Rising. Cards like Roxie (Special Illustration Rare) and AZ’s Tranquility (Special Illustration Rare) are expected to be highly sought after, continuing the trend of full-art Trainers becoming some of the most collectible cards in any set. Their combination of character appeal and detailed artwork makes them consistent value holders.

Beyond the headliners, several “secondary chase” cards are gaining attention. Pokémon like Weavile ex, Hisuian Zoroark ex, and Bisharp ex (all in Special Illustration Rare forms) bring a darker, stealth-driven theme that ties into the set’s ninja aesthetic. These cards may not reach Greninja-level prices, but they offer strong upside—especially if they become relevant in the competitive meta.

There’s also growing interest in prerelease promo cards, such as stamped versions of Ampharos ex and Keldeo ex, which are only available through early events. Limited distribution often makes these cards sleeper hits, with value increasing as supply dries up after launch.

What makes Chaos Rising unique is how concentrated the chase is. Unlike some sets with multiple equal headliners, this one is clearly anchored by Mega Greninja 

That doesn’t mean the rest of the set lacks value—it just means the gap between the top and the rest is wider than usual.

In the end, the chase cards in Chaos Rising reflect the set’s identity: bold, fast, and unpredictable. Whether you’re ripping packs for the thrill or investing for long-term value, the hunt is defined by a single question:

Can you pull the Greninja?

Because in Chaos Rising, that’s the card everyone is chasing.
