Pokémon Perfect Order: Mega Evolution Set Guide March 2026

The third main expansion of the Mega Evolution series#

Perfect Order is the third main expansion of the Mega Evolution series, and it's almost here. Releasing worldwide on March 27, 2026, the set brings legendary Mega Pokémon and a direct connection to the Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game into the Trading Card Game.

Set overview#

Perfect Order is the first Mega Evolution series set set in Lumiose City — the central location of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. It contains over 120 cards, with the main set consisting of 88 cards, making it one of the more compact main sets in recent years.

The English set is based on the Japanese expansion Nihil Zero, which released in Japan on January 23, 2026.

The new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex#

Four brand-new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex make their TCG debut in Perfect Order:

Mega Zygarde ex

The legendary Order Pokémon is the face of the set and features on the Elite Trainer Box. As guardian of balance, Mega Zygarde ex perfectly embodies the thematic direction of the expansion. With its imposing presence and connection to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, it is likely to be among the most sought-after cards in the set.

Mega Starmie ex

The mystical star Pokémon receives its first Mega Evolution card in the TCG. As a Water/Psychic type, it offers interesting strategic options for deck builders.

Mega Clefable ex

The classic Fairy-type finally gets the Mega Evolution treatment. Particularly interesting for collectors, as Clefable has not previously had a Special Illustration Rare.

Mega Skarmory ex

The Steel/Flying type completes the quartet of new Mega Pokémon ex, bringing defensive options to the set.

Other confirmed cards#

Meowth ex

Meowth ex features prominently with its "Last-Ditch Catch" ability. Competitive players see strong potential: the ability to search any Supporter card from the deck is reminiscent of the successful Lumineon V. With "Tuck Tail", Meowth ex can also remove itself from the bench — important since it gives up two Prize cards when knocked out.

Tyrunt Promo

The Elite Trainer Box includes an exclusive Illustration Rare promo of Tyrunt — a nice bonus for collectors of the Fossil Pokémon.

Card breakdown#

With over 30 Pokémon and Trainer cards featuring Special Illustrations, the set offers plenty of chase cards for collectors.

Investment outlook#

As part of the popular Mega Evolution series and with a direct tie-in to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Perfect Order has strong fundamentals:

• Mega Zygarde ex as the legendary mascot is likely to be among the most valuable cards
• Compact set with 88 main set cards makes completing it more achievable
• Legends: Z-A hype could drive additional demand
• Meowth ex has competitive potential and could be in demand among players

The set follows the special set Ascended Heroes (January 2026) and continues the Mega Evolution theme with purpose.
