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 Meowth ex – Special Illustration Rare is the most expensive Perfect Order card

Defying all odds, Meowth ex is officially the top chase card in Perfect Order right now. Despite not even being a Mega Pokemon ex, Meowth ex has continued to gain massive appeal on the secondary card market ever since Perfect Order originally released. Other than this card 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 the most desirable card in Perfect Order.
#2 Mega Zygarde ex – Mega Hyper Rare

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: the SIR version of a top chase 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 (although currently being beaten out by a different SIR). Although it’s not by a wide margin.
#3 Mega Zygarde ex – Special Illustration Rare

Despite being the frontrunner for the set, this Mega Zygarde ex SIR isn’t necessarily 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 Mega Clefable ex – Special Illustration Rare

Mega Clefable ex is yet another original 151 Pokémon that got a Mega form recently. While not necessarily the most popular Pokémon around, that original Pokémon cache is currently helping this card poke its head up towards the top of the Perfect Order most valuable cards list.
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 for its popularity amongst players.
#5 Rosa’s Encouragement – Special Illustration Rare

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 for an alt art Supporter 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.
#6 Mega Starmie ex – Special Illustration Rare

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 has earned its spot at the top of the list.
#8 Jacinthe – Special Illustration Rare

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.
#8 Clefairy – Illustration Rare

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.
#9 Meowth ex – Ultra Rare
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.
#10 Poke Pad – Ultra Rare
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.
Despite plenty of early fluctuations for this particular set, Perfect Order’s top chase cards’ prices have largely leveled off. While it’s a far cry in value from the behemoth that was Ascended Heroes, it’s still a solidly sleeper set perfect for those who want to actually be able to find products in the wild. And possibly even complete a master set that they can track via JWA Collects Pokemon TCG Tracker!
