The Mega Evolution era continues to grow with Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Chaos Rising, an expansion where powerful Pokémon, striking artwork, and new strategies come together in an unpredictable battle for victory.
Released on May 22, 2026, Chaos Rising is part of the Mega Evolution Series and features more than 120 cards, including more than 20 Trainer cards and over 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations.
For collectors and competitive players alike, this expansion adds another exciting chapter to the modern Mega Evolution era.
What Is Mega Evolution—Chaos Rising?
Chaos Rising continues the Mega Evolution series with a mix of powerful Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, new Trainer cards, and collectible artwork.
The expansion's theme is built around contrast: while some cards capture the energy and turmoil of Lumiose City, others showcase peaceful moments in nature. Official artwork highlights locations and Pokémon from the city, forests, flowers, and even underwater environments.
This combination gives the set a distinctive identity and plenty of visual variety for collectors.
Mega Greninja ex Takes the Spotlight
One of the headline Pokémon of Chaos Rising is Mega Greninja ex.
Known for its speed, precision, and ninja-inspired style, Greninja receives a powerful Mega Evolution treatment in this expansion. It is joined by several other new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, giving Trainers more choices when building decks and exploring new strategies.
Mega Greninja also connects to some of the set's most visually interesting artwork, including a sequence featuring Froakie and Frogadier illustrated as parts of a larger scene. Pokémon specifically highlighted Frogadier's illustration as part of this connected artwork.
More Mega Evolution Pokémon to Discover
Chaos Rising doesn't stop with Mega Greninja ex.
The expansion also introduces Mega Pyroar ex, Mega Floette ex, and Mega Dragalge ex, giving the set a diverse lineup of Mega Evolution Pokémon. Each brings its own visual identity and potential role for players experimenting with different strategies.
Mega Floette ex is particularly prominent in the expansion's official artwork and promotional material, representing the chaotic energy of Lumiose City. Meanwhile, Mega Dragalge ex adds an underwater theme to the collection.
A Set Full of Special Artwork
For collectors, one of Chaos Rising's biggest attractions is its artwork.
The expansion includes more than 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations, creating plenty of cards to chase beyond the standard set.
The official art showcase also highlights several cards illustrated by MARINA Chikazawa, including scenes featuring Prism Tower, Watchog, Ange Floette, Emolga, Patrat, Phantump, Remoraid, and Skrelp. These cards help show the range of artistic styles and environments found throughout the expansion.
Chaos and Tranquility
Despite its dramatic name, Chaos Rising isn't entirely about destruction and battle.
The official Pokémon art feature describes the expansion as bringing turmoil and tranquility in equal measure. Some cards focus on the busy atmosphere of Lumiose City, while others capture quieter moments beneath the waves, among flowers, or under sunny skies.
That contrast is one of the reasons the set works so well as a collector-focused expansion. You get powerful Mega Evolution Pokémon alongside artwork that simply tells a story.
