Perfect Order set overview
Perfect Order is the third main English set of the Mega Evolution series. It went on sale on 27 March 2026, after prerelease events on the weekends of 14 and 21 March, and it reached Pokémon TCG Live a day early, on 26 March. The set has 124 cards: an 88-card main list and 36 secret rares numbered 089/088 to 124/088.
It was the first set of the series to take place in Lumiose City, the setting of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Four Mega Evolution Pokémon ex made their card debut here: Mega Zygarde ex, the set's central Pokémon, with Mega Starmie ex, Mega Clefable ex and Mega Skarmory ex. The main list has nine Pokémon ex in total, including Meowth ex, Lapras ex and Yveltal ex.
The English list adapts the Japanese set Nihil Zero, released on 23 January 2026, and adds eight cards to its main list. Before release we looked at why the UK pre-order stock lasted for hours this time, in Perfect Order: What the UK Pre-Order Window Tells Us.

What changed from Nihil Zero
- Added: Lapras ex (022/088) and Hole-Digging Shovel (074/088), which were promo cards in Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 1 in Japan, plus six familiar Trainer reprints: Crushing Hammer (071/088), Energy Search (072/088), Judge (076/088), Poké Ball (080/088), Pokémon Catcher (082/088) and Potion (083/088).
- Cut: the Tyrunt art rare from the Nihil Zero secret list. Its artwork, by Shimaris Yukichi, became the Elite Trainer Box promo (MEP 070) instead.
- Rarity: Aurorus (024/088), Tyrantrum (045/088) and Gengar (050/088) were Uncommons in Japan and are Rares in English.
- Numbering: the English main list runs to 088 against 080 in Japan, and the secret rares run 089/088 to 124/088, 36 cards against 37.
