The 10 Most Expensive Perfect Order Pokémon Cards
Wondering what the most expensive Perfect Order Pokémon cards currently are?
Perfect Order is the first main Pokémon TCG set of 2026, released on March 27, 2026. It’s another set focused on the very popular Mega Pokémon ex, and while many of the Pokémon featured in the secret rares for this set will be recently introduced Mega Pokémon, some nostalgic favorites – like an epic Meowth ex Special Illustration Rare (SIR) chase – are also included.
Below, we’ll be looking at the current, most expensive cards from the set based on real sales data.
#1 Mega Zygarde ex – Mega Hyper Rare is the most expensive Perfect Order card
Market price: $185
Based on very early market data, it appears that Perfect Order is the first set since Mega Evolution to break from what has become an established pattern for contemporary sets: SIRs fetching the highest prices on the secondary card market. Preferences so far have seen the show runner SIR outperform even the far rarer Mega Hyper Rare. We saw this in Ascended Heroes and Phantasmal Flames.
However, whether or not Mega Zygarde ex’s SIR print looks better than the Mega Hyper Rare, it seems that the added rarity dimension might finally be favoring the Mega Hyper Rare, pushing that card up to the top of the list. With official market data confirmed, the Mega Zygarde ex Mega Hyper Rare is objectively the top chase card in the set. Although it’s not by a wide margin, meaning the gap could theoretically be closed by the next underdog chase card on the list.
#2 Meowth ex – Special Illustration Rare
Market price: $139
In general, Meowth ex is one of the more hyped cards coming out of Perfect Order. From a competitive lens, cards that let you search out any Supporter from your deck typically fare well in typical gameplay, and often become meta staples.
Apart from being included in the best Perfect Order decks, Meowth ex also gained attention from its SIR print which was leaked in English relatively early on in the spoiler season. Other than featuring the well-loved Pokémon from the franchise’s earliest days, it’s a comfy artwork that would look perfectly at home were it to be on display at my local coffee shop thanks to its food-centric themes and particular, pop art style.
While this card may lack some of the action-oriented excitement of the other SIRs you can pull in this set, it more than makes up for that fact with its cuteness, popularity, nostalgic appeal, and competitive viability that, when combined, equates to one of the most desirable cards in Perfect Order.
#3 Mega Zygarde ex – Special Illustration Rare
Market price: $112
Despite being the frontrunner for the set, this Mega Zygarde ex SIR isn’t necessary its top chase. Natural fluctuations on the secondary card market have seen this card rise and fall relative to the other top chase cards, yet its value appears to be solidifying right around second or third place overall.
The Pokemon TCG has been pretty hyped lately, with the top chase cards from sets like Ascended Heroes or Phantasmal Flames fetching huge prices on the secondary card market. In comparison, the Mega Zygarde ex SIR may feel a little lackluster. And I suppose that makes sense. Zygarde – while an important Pokémon for both the anime and Legends Z-A lore – just doesn’t hold a candle to the massively bankable Pokémon featured in recent sets.
Still, you never know what the singles card market has in store for the Pokemon TCG. You could reasonably see this card appreciate in the long run despite its spluttering early demand.
#4 Rosa’s Encouragement – Special Illustration Rare
Market price: $84
No Pokémon TCG chase card list would be complete without at least one high rarity Supporter card. While yeah…Pokémon is primarily about Pokémon, Trainers play an indispensable role throughout the franchise, and Rosa is no exception.
Apart from being a central figure from the popular Black and White era, Rosa’s Encouragement is also a very strong card – one that could easily become a must-have in Stage 2 decks thanks to its ability to accelerate two Energy from the discard to your Stage 2 Pokémon.
While early market data trended extremely favorably for Rosa’s Encouragement, since then this SIR has dipped to a much more typical rate an alt art Trainer card. Still, assuming it holds onto its current market value, she will likely be among the top Perfect Order chase cards in the long run.
#5 Mega Starmie ex – Special Illustration Rare
Market price: $75
Mega Starmie got some seriously negative press when it was revealed ahead of the Pokémon Z-A video game launch. I don’t think anyone’s laughing now, however. Taking one look at this action shot is enough for you to forget the fact that Mega Starmie is basically regular Starmie with a few elongated legs sprouting out underneath it and start seeing dollar signs instead. Competitively viable and collectible gold, Mega Starmie will be a solid second-tier chase card when the set drops.
#6 Mega Clefable ex – Special Illustration Rare
Market price: $73
Mega Clefable ex is yet another original 151 Pokémon that got a Mega form recently. While not necessarily the most popular Pokémon around, you could still easily see this card fetch value in the higher double-digit range once Perfect Order has been around a little while: a fact proven by its existing market price. Competitively speaking, Mega Clefable ex has a lot going for it, preventing abilities from harming it while also dishing out a ton of damage based on how many psychic energies you discard from your hand.
However, with an already impressive market value, this is one of those cards much more likely to be remembered for its impact on the collector’s market than popularity amongst players.
#7 Clefairy – Illustration Rare
Market price: $33
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – most modern Pokémon TCG sets feature one runaway chase card in the lower rarities, and my best guess so far is that Perfect Order’s will be this stunning Clefairy Illustration Rare. There’s not much to say about this card other than that you really feel like Clefairy is touching a little bit of magic given how much this artwork simply stuns – lending a Ghibli-esque vibe to the Pokémon world.
#8 Jacinthe – Special Illustration Rare
Market price: $30
In this artwork, Jacinthe is surrounded by the luxury goods that match her style. She’s a fitting trainer to include in this set given her intimate ties with the themes of new Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Z-A, while her powerful effect that lets you heal your Psychic Pokémon could be a solid boon to those decks following the set’s release.
While unlikely to be worth anywhere near that incredible price tag already associated with Rosa’s Encouragement, Jacinthe should still fetch a handful of dollars on the secondary card market thanks in part to this rich artwork.
#9 Poké Pad – Ultra Rare
Market price: $22
While cards frequently get a small bump for being competitively viable, Poké Pad is one of those cards that derives the majority of its value from people wanting to play it. It’s a card that’s nearly legendary within the competitive Pokémon TCG community. It’s so strong and previously so hard to get via Ascended Heroes’s notorious limited availability that many players originally were willing to pay whatever they had to just to secure it for their decks
Now, prices for this Ultra Rare are largely being driven by players wanting to include a nicer looking version of the card in their deck rather than the basic version which will be available in abundance following release day.
#10 Meowth ex – Ultra Rare
Market price: $20.50
Clearly fans can’t get enough of Meowth. At its current market price, Meowth ex Ultra Rare looks good to collectors. Surrounded by a golden glow and gold coins rendered abstractly as a nod to its famous Make it Rain attack, the Ultra Rare version of this card should be far easier to pull than the SIR, making it a fun and reachable chase for many.
While early market data and listing prices paint a pretty telling portrait of where Perfect Order is headed from a value perspective, prices change all the time on the secondary card market. With that in mind, stay tuned for more updates as the set hits its full release date, more packs are pulled, and values begin to solidify.
