About this set
Four brand new Mega Evolution Pokemon ex make their TCG debut: Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Starmie ex, Mega Clefable ex, and Mega Skarmory ex. For collectors who grew up with XY-era Mega Evolutions, these cards bridge that nostalgia with modern card design and power levels. The set's manageable size is itself a feature - after the marathon of completing Ascended Heroes, Perfect Order offers a sprint. Standard reverse holos, booster box availability, and a focused card pool make it one of the most completable sets in the Mega Evolution era.
Where Perfect Order fits in the era
Perfect Order is the third main expansion in the Mega Evolution series, following the XY-era mechanic revival tied to the upcoming Pokemon Legends: Z-A video game. Set in Lumiose City, it continues the narrative thread connecting modern TCG releases to the 2013-2016 Mega Evolution era. The set arrives just two months after Ascended Heroes, one of the largest English sets ever printed at 295 cards. Where Ascended Heroes was an ambitious special expansion with triple reverse holo patterns and no booster boxes, Perfect Order returns to the traditional main set format with standard distribution and accessible pack counts.
Collecting challenges
Perfect Order is one of the more approachable master sets in recent memory. The base set with standard single reverse holos means roughly 176 cards for the base master set (normal + reverse holo), plus roughly 36 secret rares for a total around 212 cards. The main challenge is the SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. tier: with only 6 SIRs pulled at long odds, hitting a specific chase card from sealed product is statistically brutal. The smart approach is to build from sealed product for commons through Ultra Rares, then buy the SIRs as singles. Build & Battle promos add 4 more cards if you count them as mandatory, and the Pokemon Center stamped Tyrunt is a fifth promo that requires buying a specific product.

Best window for singles. Chase cards find their floor.
Bulk dips 15–20% on reprint news. Chase cards stay steady.
Sealed and top chase cards begin appreciation cycle.
Collecting strategy
Most cards in this set are worth around $0.25 as singles. Opening packs is the fun way to build your base of commons and uncommons with a chance at lucky pulls — but chase cards are statistically unlikely from sealed product. For most master set collectors, the smart approach is packs for bulk, singles for the rest.
Mix of singles and strategic pack opening
One booster box plus singles for all six SIRs, the two Trainer SIRs, and remaining Ultra Rares and Illustration Rares. Skip the Mega Zygarde MHR. Target NM condition throughout. Includes reverse holos.

Community insights
From collector discussions, forums, and social media.
What collectors are saying
- Perfect Order is being received as a palate cleanser after the massive 295-card Ascended Heroes. Some collectors welcome the smaller base set as a feature, not a bug. Others feel the set lacks the excitement of its predecessor.
- Post-release data settled the chase card hierarchy differently than expected: Mega Zygarde ex MHR · Mega Hyper RareThe gold card in English Mega Evolution sets, usually the rarest card in the set. leads, Meowth ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. is the surprise performer close behind, and Mega Zygarde ex SIR sits third. Pre-release estimates for the Zygarde SIR overshot significantly as supply caught up with demand.
- The Tyrunt ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. promo has generated genuine affection for its design quality. The Pokemon Center stamped variant is exclusive to the PC ETB, making it a must-buy for promo collectors.
- Build & Battle prereleases run March 14-26 with four promo variants: Serperior, Barbaracle, Tyrantrum, and Doublade. Community engagement at prereleases has been strong across the Mega Evolution era.
- Coming after Ascended Heroes with its triple reverse holo patterns and 613-card master set, Perfect Order feels refreshingly completable. One binder, standard reverse holos, and a manageable card count.
- Three new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex debut with Special Illustration Rare treatment (Mega Zygarde, Mega Starmie, Mega Clefable). Mega Skarmory ex also debuts in the set but only at Double Rare and Ultra Rare tiers. There is no Mega Skarmory SIR. The four Mega ex debuts as playable Double Rares are Mega Zygarde, Mega Starmie, Mega Clefable, and Mega Skarmory.
- Debate on the subreddits is split between collectors who think the base set is 'too small' and those relieved after the Ascended Heroes marathon. The small-set camp is quieter but seems to be growing as people actually sit down to build their binders.
- Pokemon Center ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. stock moved fast at launch. Collectors who missed it immediately ended up paying well over MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. on the secondary market for the stamped Tyrunt. If you want it at MSRP, you need to move on day one or set up restock alerts in advance.
- The Lumiose City setting and Z-A video game tie-in are pulling in people who don't normally collect. Multiple Reddit threads in the past month had people asking which Mega Zygarde ex to buy as their first TCG purchase.
- Compared to mid-cycle sets like Obsidian Flames, Perfect Order has fewer cards but six SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. and a surprise chase card in Meowth ex SIR. Opening boxes doesn't feel like a chore even with the smaller set size.
- The Doublade and Barbaracle Build & Battle promos are getting good reactions despite neither being crowd-favorite Pokemon. The prerelease promo artwork has been a cut above what the format usually gets, which is helping push prerelease attendance.
Tips from the community
- Wait 2-3 weeks after release before buying singles. First-week prices are always inflated by scarcity and FOMO. Real supply hits the market after the initial opening rush settles.
- Unlike Ascended Heroes, Perfect Order has booster boxes available. This gives you the best price-per-pack for ripping. A booster box at MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. is the most efficient way to build your base set.
- Define your master set parameters before buying. Decide whether Build & Battle promos (4 variants) and the Pokemon Center stamped Tyrunt are mandatory for your collection.
- The Pokemon Center ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. is the only way to get the stamped Tyrunt promo. If that matters to your collection, secure one early before they sell out.
- With only 88 base cards, you should be able to complete most commons and uncommons from a single booster box. Target remaining gaps with singles rather than buying a second box.
- SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. pulls are long odds. Do not gamble on sealed product for a specific chase card. Buy the singles you want directly.
- If you want the Build & Battle promos at MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more., attend a prerelease event. That is the intended purchase channel and the cheapest way to get them. Buying all four promo variants on the secondary market after the fact costs meaningfully more combined.
- Illustration Rares pull often enough that a booster box should yield a couple on average. If you pull IRs you don't need, they trade well toward specific cards you're chasing since demand for them stays relatively steady.
- For the three Mega Evolution SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards., Mega Zygarde leads, followed by Mega Starmie and Mega Clefable. If you care most about a specific Mega, buy it first. The character premium is meaningful but small at this price tier. Meowth ex SIR is the actual top chase Pokemon SIR in the set.
- Grading makes sense for the Mega Zygarde ex MHR · Mega Hyper RareThe gold card in English Mega Evolution sets, usually the rarest card in the set. and Meowth ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards.. Both clear PSA · Professional Sports AuthenticatorThe largest card grading company. A PSA 10 is its top grade and carries the biggest price premium. 10 premium thresholds with clean centering. Mega Zygarde ex SIR is more marginal. The other Mega Evolution SIRs are lower raw value territory where bulk grading costs eat the premium margin quickly.

Decide whether that's part of your definition before release week, not after.
Market insights
- Perfect Order is positioned as a standard main set with booster box availability, unlike the special expansion model of Ascended Heroes. This typically means faster price stabilization and lower sealed product premiums.
- Six Special Illustration Rares in the set (three Mega Evolution Pokémon, Meowth ex, Jacinthe, Rosa's Encouragement). Meowth ex SIR turned out to be the surprise performer, beating all three Mega Evolution SIRs on raw price.
- The smaller set size (88 base + ~36 secret rares) makes master set completion significantly more accessible and affordable than Ascended Heroes. Expect total master set costs to be roughly half of a large special expansion.
- Four new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex debut as playable Double Rares: Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Starmie ex, Mega Clefable ex, and Mega Skarmory ex. Three of them (Zygarde, Starmie, Clefable) also get Special Illustration Rare treatment; Mega Skarmory ex does not have an SIR version. Mega Evolution nostalgia from the XY era continues to drive collector interest.
- Illustration Rares are more accessible than SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. and tend to hold value well for popular characters. Watch for which IRs emerge as community favorites in the first week.
- Sealed product prices should stabilize faster than they did for Ascended Heroes. Booster boxes follow standard retail distribution through Target, Walmart, and hobby shops, which normalizes supply faster than the special expansion model. The initial secondary market box premium should settle back toward MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. within 4-6 weeks.
- The Z-A video game tie-in adds a demand source Ascended Heroes didn't have. If Legends: Z-A sells well, game fans who want the Mega Zygarde ex card for display rather than collecting could push that SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. above community price estimates.
- Post-release, the six SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. split into three tiers: Meowth ex SIR and Mega Zygarde ex MHR · Mega Hyper RareThe gold card in English Mega Evolution sets, usually the rarest card in the set. anchor the top, Mega Zygarde ex SIR and Rosa's Encouragement hold the mid-tier, and Mega Starmie/Clefable SIRs and Jacinthe round out the bottom. Pre-release estimates for Mega Zygarde SIR were too optimistic. The card settled at less than half of the early asking prices.
- Reverse holo prices should stay low. The single-pattern format means no scarcity premium for specific reverse patterns like there was with Ascended Heroes. Most reverses outside of chase Pokemon will sell at bulk rates.
- Total master set cost, including the Mega Zygarde MHR · Mega Hyper RareThe gold card in English Mega Evolution sets, usually the rarest card in the set., all six SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards., and reverse holos, has settled at a small fraction of what an Ascended Heroes standard master set runs. The price gap makes a real difference in how many collectors actually finish the set.
- Build & Battle promo singles will likely stay cheap per card. Prior Mega Evolution era prerelease promos have priced the same way. Demand comes almost entirely from completionists, not speculators, which keeps prices stable but low.
Watch out for
- First-week singles prices are panic-priced. Every set, every time. Supply needs 2-3 weeks to catch up with demand. Patience saves real money.
- Verify Build & Battle Box contents before purchasing on the secondary market. There are 4 promo variants (Serperior, Barbaracle, Tyrantrum, Doublade) and sellers sometimes charge premiums for specific ones.
- Do not confuse Perfect Order cards with Ascended Heroes cards. Both are Mega Evolution era sets releasing close together. Check set symbols and card numbers carefully when buying singles.
- Pull rate estimates (SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. 1/72, IR · Illustration RareA full-art card showing a Pokemon in an illustrated scene, numbered after the main set. 1/18) are based on community data from prior sets, not official rates. Your actual results will vary. Do not buy sealed product expecting guaranteed pulls.
- The Pokemon Center ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. will likely sell out quickly due to the exclusive stamped Tyrunt promo. Set up restock notifications on the Pokemon Center website if this promo matters to you.
- Do not buy Mega Zygarde ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. in the first week unless you have strong centering. First-week prices are high and photo quality from sellers is often poor enough to hide bad centering. Wait for the market to stabilize and buy from sellers with clear, well-lit images.
- If you are buying sealed booster boxes from third-party sellers, check that packs are not pre-weighed. The Mega Evolution era has attracted pack weighers specifically targeting SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards.-slot packs. Buy from MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. retail sources (Target, Walmart, LGS · Local game storeAn independent hobby shop. Often the fairest place to buy sealed product at launch.) or established online retailers with sealed guarantees.
- The four Build & Battle promo variants are random. Buying four Build & Battle Boxes does not guarantee one of each. Plan for duplicates if you need all four. Attending two prerelease events and trading duplicates is cheaper than buying all four on the secondary market.
Mega Evolution Perfect Order grading guide
Which Mega Evolution Perfect Order cards are worth the $20+/card grading fee? PSA 10 premiums vary significantly by rarity tier. See our complete grading guide for how grading works, costs, and international submission options.
Tier 1 - High Priority Grading
Worth gradingThe two highest-value cards in the set. Meowth ex SIR was the surprise chase card. Only submit with strong centering (60/40+). PSA 10 premium clearly clears submission costs.
Tier 2 - Consider Grading
Worth gradingMid-tier Mega Evolution SIRs plus the high-demand Rosa's Encouragement trainer SIR. Worth grading if centering is exceptional. Character popularity drives premium, and Clefable and Starmie nostalgia may push their values higher over time.
Tier 3 - Personal Collection Only
Skip gradingGrading costs can eat the premium margin. Only grade for personal collection or if you pull a pristine copy you want to preserve. Jacinthe SIR at $32 is marginal.
Tier 4 - Never Grade
Skip gradingGrading submission costs vastly exceed any value gain. Keep raw. Focus grading budget on the Mega ex SIR tier only.
Before you submit — PSA checklist, fees, and tips▾
PSA 10 requirements
- Centering
- 55/45 minimum front and back. Modern SIRs frequently fail here — pre-screen every candidate.
- Corners
- Sharp, no whitening under magnification. Sleeve the moment you pull the card.
- Surface
- No scratches, print lines, or holo damage. SIR foils are especially vulnerable from the factory.
- Edges
- No chipping or fraying. Inspect under bright light.
PSA service tiers
- Value
- $20/card, 4–6 month turnaround. Right for raw values $75–500.
- Regular
- $50/card, 6–8 week turnaround. Right for raw values $500+.
- Express
- $75–150/card, 2–3 week turnaround. Only worth it above $1,000 raw.
Budget for a 5-card submission: $135–170 once you add shipping, insurance, and supplies.
Tips from experienced submitters
- • Pre-screen with a loupe — 70%+ of modern cards fail centering.
- • PSA Collectors Club ($99/year) pays for itself with 2–3 value-tier submissions.
- • Ship in batches of 10+ to amortize shipping and insurance.
- • PSA 9 typically sells at 40–60% of PSA 10 — still a premium over raw.
Storage & protection
