The base set of Chaos Rising is 86 cards. The numbering runs to 122, and those 36 extra cards are the special prints people open packs for.
This is the full list, split by rarity, with collector number, artwork and price. If you are after the ranking sorted by value instead, it is in the article on the most expensive Chaos Rising cards.
In short. The signature card of Chaos Rising is Mega Greninja ex Special Illustration Rare (#116) at 228.64 €; the print that closes the numbering, meaning the hardest one to find, is Mega Greninja ex Gold Secret Rare (#122). The top three cards make up 67% of the total. Prices for English-language singles in Near Mint condition, 28 August 2026.
What is the rarest card in Chaos Rising?
It depends what you mean, and here the two answers do not coincide.
If you mean the signature card, the one everybody calls the rarest in the set, it is Mega Greninja ex Special Illustration Rare (#116): it is worth 228.64 € and it is the most expensive card in Chaos Rising.
If you mean the hardest print to find, it is Mega Greninja ex (#122), the only Gold Secret Rare in the set. It closes the numbering, the slot conventionally reserved for the prints that come out of packs least often, and it costs 202.84 €.
Pull rates are never published, so there is no official answer on which card is genuinely the rarest. The only measurable indicator is the price, which is where the few copies in circulation meet the people looking for them: and the price says Mega Greninja ex #116 sits 25.80 € above the closing print.
Chaos Rising repeats the Pitch Black pattern exactly: the gold print that closes the set is not the most expensive card, the full-art Special Illustration Rare of the same Pokémon is. It is worth knowing before choosing which one to buy, because the card everybody recognises as the face of the set is the cheaper one to find and the dearer one to own.
Mega Greninja ex appears three times, and the prices are nothing alike
The same Pokémon shows up three times among the special prints, at wildly different prices:
- #116, Special Illustration Rare: 228.64 €
- #122, Gold Secret Rare: 202.84 €
- #100, Full Art: 11.53 €
Its versions together are worth 443.01 €, which is 60% of every special print in the set, and between the dearest and the cheapest there is a 20x gap. It is the most common mistake when valuing a collection from memory: the Pokémon does not decide the price, the print does. The number at the bottom decides everything.

What it costs to complete the Chaos Rising special prints
Bought one by one as singles, the 36 cards from number 87 to 122 cost 740.09 €. The distribution matters more than the total:
- the top three cards are worth 67% of it
- the six Special Illustration Rares are worth 422.64 €
- the only Gold Secret Rare is worth 202.84 €
- the eleven Illustration Rares are worth 52.00 €
