Perfect Order is the third main expansion of the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution series. It released worldwide on 27 March 2026 and takes the series to Lumiose City, the setting of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Like every main set it comes in several sealed products, and they suit different buyers.
This guide covers the set facts, the chase cards and what is inside every Perfect Order product, from the 36-pack booster display to the Build & Battle Box.
Perfect Order at a glance
| Series | Mega Evolution (ME03) |
| English release | 27 March 2026 |
| Cards | 124 (88 numbered + 36 secret rares) |

The chase cards
The two cards most collectors are after are the Meowth ex Special Illustration Rare (121/088) and the Mega Zygarde ex Mega Hyper Rare (124/088), the highest rarity in the set. Behind them come the Special Illustration Rares of Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Clefable ex and Mega Starmie ex, plus Supporter Special Illustration Rares of Jacinthe and Rosa’s Encouragement.
The 36 secret rares break down into illustration rares, full-art ultra rares, special illustration rares, gold Trainer and Energy cards and a single Mega Hyper Rare. That spread is why a full display is the realistic way to work towards a master set.

Booster Display Box: 36 packs
The Perfect Order Booster Display contains 36 booster packs and nothing else. It is the lowest price per pack you will find and the best choice if you want to open a lot, build towards the full set or keep a sealed box of a set with two strong headline cards. If you are new to the format, our guide How many packs are in a Pokémon booster box? compares displays with every other product.
Elite Trainer Box and Pokémon Center ETB
The regular Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box has nine packs, a full-art Tyrunt promo, 65 card sleeves, 40 Energy cards, damage-counter dice, a coin-flip die, a plastic coin, a player’s guide and a storage box. It is the practical pick for players who want sleeves and accessories with their packs.
The Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box adds two packs (11 in total) and a second Tyrunt promo with the Pokémon Center logo. It is sold through Pokémon Center only, which makes it the more collectible of the two boxes in Europe.
Booster Bundle: 6 packs
The Perfect Order Booster Bundle is six packs in one sleeve. It is the easiest way to try the set without committing to a display, and a popular gift.
Build & Battle Box
The Build & Battle Box is designed for prerelease events. It contains a 40-card deck that is ready to play in the prerelease format, one of four foil promo cards and four Perfect Order booster packs to improve the deck. It is the best starting point for new players who want to play the set rather than collect it.
3-pack blister
The Perfect Order 3-pack blister holds three packs and a Chikorita promo card. It is the cheapest sealed way into the set.
