Holofoil 119/88 · $36.31 — the only variant this card was printed in (no reverse holo or special pattern), so a master set needs just this one copy.
The storyA storybook alt-art that completes a two-card scene
Mega Clefable ex landed in Mega Evolution: Perfect Order, the March 2026 set built around Pokemon Legends: Z-A and the Kalos region. The headliner is Mega Zygarde ex, but Clefable's Special Illustration Rare quietly became one of the prints people single out. Cona Nitanda's art shows Mega Clefable drifting through a soft, star-dusted sky, all pastel and motion. It reads more like a children's book page than a battle card.
“Mega Clefable ex SIR, from the March 2026 Perfect Order set”
The detail that gives it staying power is the pairing. This SIR connects to the Clefairy illustration rare (number 94) from the same set. Line the two cards up and Nitanda's art continues across both. That kind of intentional pairing turns a single chase card into a small collecting project, and master-set builders tend to remember cards that ask them to chase a partner.
Mechanically it's a Stage 1 Mega Evolution ex with 320 HP, the Luminous Wing ability, and the Shooting Moons attack. For most collectors the appeal is the artwork and the Mega Clefable debut, not the tournament table.
By the numbersMarket analysis
Sits in the mid-pack of Perfect Order's Special Illustration Rares. It's a recognized chase card but not the set's apex price, which belongs to the Mega Zygarde material. Expect a comfortable mid-range SIR price rather than a top-of-set number.
As a recent release, pricing is still finding its level. Early supply is heavy while packs are opened in volume, which usually keeps a newer SIR soft for the first stretch before it settles once boxes dry up.
A solid hold-for-the-art card rather than a speculative flip. The artwork and the paired-scene gimmick give it a reason to be wanted beyond hype, but it competes with stronger chase cards in the same set for collector dollars. Buy it because you like it.
PSA 10 and CGC 10 copies carry a meaningful premium over raw, as they do for any modern textured SIR. The full-art surface shows handling and edge wear easily, so clean gem-mint copies are the ones that hold value.
Perfect Order follows Scarlet & Violet-era pull patterns. Across that era, any Special Illustration Rare lands roughly once every 90 packs, with Double Rares around 1 in 5, Illustration Rares about 1 in 12, Ultra Rares near 1 in 15, and Hyper Rares anywhere from 1 in 300 to 1 in 700. Those numbers are for hitting any card of that rarity. Pulling this specific Mega Clefable SIR runs much longer, since a set carries many SIRs and the odds split across all of them. In practice, expect to open well into the hundreds of packs before this exact card shows up, which is why most collectors buy the single instead of chasing it from sealed.
It's one of several SIRs in Perfect Order, so it's not the rarest card in the set on pull odds. The Hyper Rares and the Mega Zygarde headliners draw the longest odds and the highest prices.
ArtworkWhy the art matters
Cona Nitanda is a Pokemon TCG illustrator known for soft, character-forward full-art work. The Mega Clefable ex SIR is a good example of that style: gentle color, a clear focal subject, plenty of atmosphere.
Mega Clefable floats through a pastel, star-scattered sky with its wings spread, mid-motion and weightless. The palette leans into soft pinks and dreamy blues. The composition is built so the scene continues onto the Clefairy illustration rare (number 94) from the same set, with the two cards forming one larger picture when placed together.
Special Illustration Rare, so it's a full-art with the textured holo finish and the borderless SIR treatment used across the Mega Evolution sets. Numbered 119/088, above the set's named print count.
The connected-art pairing with Clefairy is the hook. Most SIRs stand alone. This one rewards you for owning a second card, which is unusual and gives the print a reason to be displayed as a set rather than a single.

Own it wellCollector guide
Textured full-art SIRs show whitening on edges and corners fast, and the holo surface picks up scratches and fingerprints. Inspect under angled light before buying. Centering on borderless prints is worth checking closely since there's no frame to hide a shifted image.
Grade only clean, well-centered copies. The premium for a 10 over a 9 on modern SIRs is real, but a 9 on a card like this often isn't worth the grading fee versus selling raw. If you want it for display, a raw near-mint copy is fine. Read the grading guide →
Penny sleeve plus a toploader or one-touch at minimum. For a long-term hold, a sleeve inside a semi-rigid or a sealed one-touch keeps the textured surface from rubbing. Keep it out of direct light to avoid any fading on the pastel colors. See the storage guide →
If you like the art, grab the Clefairy illustration rare at the same time so you can display the connected scene. Newer SIRs tend to be cheapest a few months after release while supply is high, so there's no rush. Buy near-mint raw unless you specifically want a graded slab. See the singles buying guide →
Fakes of brand-new sets exist but are usually easy to spot. Check the texture, since real SIRs have a tactile embossed feel, then the holo pattern under light and the print sharpness on small text. For a modern card at this price, buying raw from a reputable seller is low risk. Reserve graded purchases for higher-value condition-sensitive copies.

Generally warm. The art gets singled out as one of the nicer SIRs in Perfect Order, and the connected-scene pairing with Clefairy gets mentioned as a clever touch.
Discussion centers on the artwork and the two-card pairing more than on competitive play. Clefable's fanbase and the novelty of the Mega give it a friendly reception, though it lives in the shadow of the set's Mega Zygarde headliners.
