Perfect Order Card List: Every Secret Rare, Chase Card and Product Explained

The Perfect Order card list is the checklist for the third main expansion in the Pokémon TCG’s Mega Evolution series, and it is built around Mega Zygarde ex. Released on 27 March 2026, the set has 124 cards, including 36 secret rares and a Mega Hyper Rare that many collectors open packs hoping to find.

This guide breaks down every rarity tier, lists the secret rares by number, highlights the cards collectors chase most, and explains what you get in each sealed product. Whether you are completing a binder or deciding between a booster box and an Elite Trainer Box, you will find the details here.

Pokémon Perfect Order at a Glance

Pokémon Perfect Order carries the product code ME03 and the set abbreviation POR. It is the first Mega Evolution series expansion set in Lumiose City, the setting of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and its four headline Megas were first introduced in that game. Here are the key facts:

Detail	Perfect Order
Product code	ME03
Set abbreviation	POR
English release	27 March 2026
Total cards	124 (88 main set + 36 secret rares)
Japanese source set	Nihil Zero (M3), released 23 January 2026
Headline Pokémon	Mega Zygarde ex
New Megas	Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Starmie ex, Mega Clefable ex, Mega Skarmory ex

According to The Pokémon Company, the set includes four Mega Evolution Pokémon ex appearing in the TCG for the first time, 11 Illustration Rare Pokémon, 18 Ultra Rare Pokémon and Trainer cards, and six Special Illustration Rare Pokémon and Supporter cards.

Release Date and Where Perfect Order Fits

Prerelease events at participating local game stores began on 14 March 2026. The cards arrived in Pokémon TCG Live on 26 March 2026, and the physical set launched at participating retailers worldwide, including Australia, on 27 March 2026. That gap gave players almost two weeks to try the new cards in Prerelease events before the full launch.

In the wider series, Perfect Order follows Phantasmal Flames (ME02) and the special set Ascended Heroes (ME2.5). It was followed on 22 May 2026 by Chaos Rising (ME04), which brought in Mega Greninja ex and Mega Floette ex. Each of these sets has its own headline Megas, so collectors often pick based on favourite Pokémon.

Because it is a standard main set, Perfect Order has the full range of English products, including a 36-pack booster box, which the special set before it did not. That makes it a good choice if you like opening a full box and building most of the main set in one session.

How Perfect Order compares with nearby sets

Set sizes in the Mega Evolution series vary quite a bit, and that affects how quickly you can finish a binder and how many packs you are likely to open along the way. Here is how Perfect Order lines up against the sets released around it:

Set	Code	English release	Total cards	Headline Mega
Phantasmal Flames	ME02	14 November 2025	130	Mega Charizard X ex
Ascended Heroes	ME2.5	30 January 2026	295	Mega Dragonite ex
Perfect Order	ME03	27 March 2026	124	Mega Zygarde ex
Chaos Rising	ME04	22 May 2026	122	Mega Greninja ex

With 124 cards and a single Mega Hyper Rare, Perfect Order is one of the more compact sets in the series. That makes a complete main set and secret rare run a realistic goal, especially if you combine pack opening with a few well-chosen trades.

The Perfect Order Card List by Rarity

The full Perfect Order card list runs from 001 to 124, with every card printed out of 088. Any card numbered 089 or above is a secret rare, so checking the number in the bottom corner tells you instantly whether you have pulled one of the 36 extra cards. Here is the breakdown:

Rarity	Card numbers	Cards	Examples
Main set (Common to Double Rare)	001 to 088	88	Mega Zygarde ex 047, Meowth ex 062
Illustration Rare	089 to 099	11	Rowlet, Dedenne, Clefairy
Ultra Rare	100 to 117	18	Mega Starmie ex, Lumiose City, Tarragon
Special Illustration Rare	118 to 123	6	Mega Clefable ex, Jacinthe
Mega Hyper Rare	124	1	Mega Zygarde ex

The nine Pokémon ex in the main set

These Double Rare cards are the top of the main set and the easiest way to get playable copies of the set’s biggest Pokémon. They turn up far more often than the full-art and illustrated versions further up the list. Four of the nine are Mega Evolution Pokémon ex:

• Decidueye ex (012)
• Salazzle ex (016)
• Mega Starmie ex (021)
• Lapras ex (022)
• Mega Clefable ex (031)
• Mega Zygarde ex (047)
• Yveltal ex (053)
• Mega Skarmory ex (055)
• Meowth ex (062)

Lapras ex is the only one of the nine without a full-art Ultra Rare or Special Illustration Rare in the secret rare range, so its Double Rare is the version to look for if you collect Lapras. It is easy to overlook among the Megas, so keep an eye out for it in your packs.

Perfect Order Chase Cards

Every set has a handful of cards that drive demand, and the Perfect Order chase cards are concentrated at the top end of the numbering, from 118 to 124. The Pokémon Company does not publish official pull rates, so any odds you see online are community estimates rather than confirmed figures.

Mega Zygarde ex Mega Hyper Rare (124/088)

The Mega Hyper Rare is the highest rarity in the set, a gold-etched version of Mega Zygarde ex. As the headline Pokémon and the final card in the numbering, it is widely seen as the top pull in the set. It also makes a striking binder centrepiece, and it completes the four-card Mega Zygarde ex run described below.

The six Special Illustration Rares

Special Illustration Rares (SIRs) feature full-scene artwork that places the Pokémon or Trainer in a detailed setting. Perfect Order has six, split between four Pokémon and two Supporters, which gives both Pokémon fans and Trainer collectors something to chase. Each one is numbered just below the Mega Hyper Rare:

• Mega Starmie ex (118)
• Mega Clefable ex (119)
• Mega Zygarde ex (120)
• Meowth ex (121)
• Jacinthe (122), a Supporter card
• Rosa’s Encouragement (123), a Supporter card

Mega Zygarde ex collectors therefore have four versions to find: the Double Rare at 047, the full-art Ultra Rare at 104, the Special Illustration Rare at 120 and the Mega Hyper Rare at 124. Lined up together, they make a neat display row in a binder page.

Ultra Rares and Full-Art Trainers

The 18 Ultra Rares (100 to 117) include full-art versions of eight Pokémon ex and ten Trainer cards. They suit players who like to upgrade the cards in their decks to full-art versions, and collectors who want a complete secret rare run. The Pokémon ex Ultra Rares are:

• Decidueye ex (100) and Salazzle ex (101)
• Mega Starmie ex (102) and Mega Clefable ex (103)
• Mega Zygarde ex (104) and Yveltal ex (105)
• Mega Skarmory ex (106) and Meowth ex (107)

The ten Trainer Ultra Rares are Energy Recycler (108), Forest of Vitality (109), Jacinthe (110), Lumiose City (111), Naveen (112), Poké Pad (113), Rosa’s Encouragement (114), Sacred Ash (115), Tarragon (116) and Wondrous Patch (117). The list includes two Stadiums, Lumiose City and Forest of Vitality, and Supporters such as Jacinthe, Naveen and Tarragon, giving players plenty of new full-art Trainers to use.

Perfect Order Illustration Rares

The 11 Illustration Rares (089 to 099) are a favourite with binder collectors because they show everyday Pokémon in full-card scenes. They sit lower in the rarity order than the Special Illustration Rares, which makes completing the row a satisfying mid-range goal for most collectors.

The line-up is Spewpa (089), Rowlet (090), Talonflame (091), Aurorus (092), Dedenne (093), Clefairy (094), Espurr (095), Probopass (096), Drapion (097), Doublade (098) and Raticate (099). If you are building a Kalos-themed collection, Spewpa, Talonflame, Aurorus, Dedenne, Espurr and Doublade fit right in alongside Mega Zygarde ex.

Mega Zygarde ex and the New Megas

Mega Zygarde ex is unusual because it is a Basic Pokémon, so it does not need to evolve. It is a Fighting-type with 310 HP and two attacks. Gaia Wave costs three Fighting Energy, deals 200 damage and reduces the damage it takes from attacks by 30 during your opponent’s next turn.

Its second attack, Nullifying Zero, costs five Fighting Energy. You flip a coin for each of your opponent’s Pokémon, and for each heads that Pokémon takes 150 damage, with Weakness and Resistance not applied to Benched Pokémon. Like every Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, it gives up three Prize cards when Knocked Out.

Mega Starmie ex, Mega Clefable ex and Mega Skarmory ex round out the new Megas, each making its TCG debut in this set. With Yveltal ex and Meowth ex also in the main set, there are plenty of fan favourites among the Perfect Order cards beyond the headliner.

Mega Starmie ex

Mega Starmie ex is a Stage 1 Water-type that evolves from Staryu and has 330 HP. Jetting Blow costs just one Water Energy, dealing 120 damage plus 50 to one of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon. Nebula Beam costs three Colourless Energy and deals 210 damage that is not affected by Weakness, Resistance or any effects on your opponent’s Active Pokémon.

Mega Clefable ex

Mega Clefable ex is a Stage 1 Psychic-type that evolves from Clefairy and has 320 HP. Its Ability, Luminous Wing, prevents all effects of your opponent’s Pokémon’s Abilities done to it. Its attack, Shooting Moons, costs two Psychic Energy and does 120 damage, plus 40 more for each Energy card you discard from your hand, up to four.

Mega Skarmory ex

Mega Skarmory ex is a Basic Metal-type with 260 HP and a free retreat cost. Its attack, Sonic Ripper, costs two Metal Energy and one Colourless, shuffles all Energy attached to it back into your deck, and deals 220 damage to one of your opponent’s Pokémon, which means it can hit the Bench as well as the Active spot.

The Perfect Order Product Line-Up

The set follows the familiar main set format, so you can choose between a full booster box, an Elite Trainer Box, a booster bundle and larger sealed cases. Each one opens the same Perfect Order cards, so the choice comes down to pack count and extras. Here is what each core product contains:

• Booster box: 36 booster packs. The Perfect Order booster box gives you the most packs of any single box in the line-up.
• Elite Trainer Box: nine booster packs, a full-art Tyrunt promo card, card sleeves, Energy cards, dice, a player’s guide, a collector’s box and a Pokémon TCG Live code card.
• Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box: 11 booster packs and two Tyrunt promos, one with a Pokémon Center logo above the Retreat Cost.
• Booster bundle: six booster packs with no extras.

The Tyrunt promo is an MEP Black Star Promo in the Illustration Rare style, so it is not part of the numbered set and cannot be pulled from packs. The standard Perfect Order ETB is the version most Australian collectors will be opening, and it is a great all-in-one starting point for new players.

Which Perfect Order Product Should You Buy?

Each format suits a different kind of collector, and the right choice depends on whether you care most about pack count, accessories or keeping your spend small. The table below compares the three main options so you can match the product to your goal:

Product	Booster packs	Extras	Best for
Booster box	36	None	Building most of the main set, chasing secret rares, group openings
Elite Trainer Box	9	Tyrunt promo, sleeves, Energy, dice, storage box	New players, gifts, collectors who want the promo
Booster Bundle	6	None	A smaller opening or topping up a collection

Booster box

With 36 packs, the Perfect Order Booster Box is the best way to work through a large part of the Perfect Order card list in one go. It also gives you the most chances at the Special Illustration Rares and the Mega Hyper Rare. Compare it with other sets in our English Pokémon Booster Boxes range.

Elite Trainer Box

The Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box is the most complete package for players. The sleeves, Energy and dice let you start building a deck straight away, and the sturdy box doubles as card storage. Browse more in our Pokémon Elite Trainer Boxes range.

Booster Bundle

The Perfect Order Booster Bundle keeps things simple with six packs. It suits collectors who already own accessories, or anyone who wants to open a few packs without a bigger commitment. It also makes a handy gift. See every set in our Pokémon Booster Bundles range.

Sealed Cases for Dedicated Collectors

If you want multiple boxes in original factory packaging, sealed cases are the next step up. The Perfect Order Booster Box Sealed Case contains six booster boxes, while the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box Sealed Case holds ten Elite Trainer Boxes.

Cases suit collectors who want untouched product for long-term display, groups who split a big opening, and families buying ETBs as gifts. See every case we list in English Pokémon Sealed Cases, and read our Pokémon booster box guide for more on box formats across languages.

Tips for Completing the Perfect Order Card List

A clear plan makes it easier to finish the set without overspending on packs, and it keeps the hobby fun rather than frustrating. Whether you are opening a single bundle or a full case, these habits help you keep track of your Pokémon Perfect Order collection:

1. Print a checklist. Number it from 001 to 124 and tick cards off as you pull or trade them.
2. Pick your goal. The 88-card main set, the 36 secret rares and a full master set are very different projects, so decide which one you are chasing.
3. Protect your hits. Put Special Illustration Rares and the Mega Hyper Rare straight into penny sleeves and top loaders.
4. Trade duplicates. Spare Double Rares and Illustration Rares are great trade bait at local game stores and with friends.
5. Store sealed product carefully. Keep boxes out of direct sunlight and away from humidity during the Australian summer.

Tip: If you mainly want Mega Zygarde ex, remember it has four versions in the set. Picking up the Double Rare and Ultra Rare through trades is often easier than waiting to pull them, which leaves your packs free for the Special Illustration Rare and Mega Hyper Rare.
