It is out now in Australia and sealed at Grailborne, so the range below is your chance to secure it at today’s AUD before the next restock scramble.

Available now: Chaos Rising is out and sealed at Grailborne; securing sealed now locks today’s AUD price — Mega-era Australian allocation runs tight and post-launch restocks are irregular. Prices below are live AUD at Grailborne.

  • Fennekin full-art foil promo — an ETB-exclusive you won’t pull from boosters.
  • 65 sleeves + 40 energy — featuring Chaos Rising artwork.
  • Accessories — 6 damage dice, a condition die, a plastic coin, a player’s guide, the collector’s box with 6 dividers and a TCG Live code card.

The chase cards

Chaos Rising carries six Special Illustration Rares plus a gold Mega Hyper Rare at the very top — but the value is heavily concentrated in one Pokémon. These are the cards driving demand (AUD-normalised secondary estimates):

Top chase (AUD secondary) RRP / retail Sealed now Change
Mega Greninja ex — Mega Hyper Rare gold (#122) ~A$620 Set-defining
Mega Greninja ex — Special Illustration Rare (#116) ~A$491 Elite
Cinccino ex — Special Illustration Rare ~A$76 Secondary
Mega Dragalge ex — Special Illustration Rare ~A$67 Secondary
Mega Floette ex — Special Illustration Rare ~A$56 Secondary

Raw ungraded near-mint, indicative AUD secondary values (PriceCharting / TCGplayer / eBay-sold market data, July 2026). High-value chases move week to week.

AUD secondary-market estimates, converted from recent secondary trades — they vary by condition and over time. Note the Mega Greninja ex SIR has traded above the gold Mega Hyper Rare, unusual for the Mega-era: that’s artwork demand, not just rarity.

One detail stands out: value drops off sharply after Greninja — the next SIRs sit near A$76 and below. This is very much a one-grail set, and that grail is the whole thesis.

What the early market is telling us

Our read on any set is simple: value follows pull difficulty × character popularity. Chaos Rising is a textbook case. Mega Greninja ex sits at the hardest rung of a 122-card ladder — one of just six Special Illustration Rares — and Greninja is one of the most popular Pokémon ever printed, winning the first-ever Pokémon of the Year vote in 2020 with 140,559 votes, ahead of Lucario, Mimikyu and Charizard. That combination is why a single SIR comfortably exceeds the price of a sealed booster box. The honest counterpoint: this set is early, secondary data is thin, and the Greninja SIR has already cooled from a day-one peak (roughly A$920) to around A$491 as supply caught up — so the launch froth is deflating, not building.

🐸 Why the character matters: a ninja-typed starter with that level of fan backing, given its first Mega card in this set, tends to hold collector interest long after a release-week spike fades. Pair that with the finite Mega Evolution print window and you have a chase that stays relevant.

🏆 The Grailborne Take

67/100
Grailborne Index
Chaos Rising (ME04): In-stock hold — grail-led
Investment-hold rating — weighs set scarcity, historical comparables, pre-order demand & retail-vs-secondary spread.
Firm opportunity — in stock now: Chaos Rising is out and sealed in Australia now. Securing sealed today locks the price before the next restock scramble, when Mega-era AU allocation historically runs tight. This is the cleanest window you’ll get.
Firm strength — a genuine grail chase: Mega Greninja ex SIR (~A$491) is worth roughly two sealed booster boxes. A chase that outvalues a box is the textbook profile of a set where sealed has real reason to appreciate — every ripped box permanently tightens supply of that card.
Era + character: Mega Evolution–era sets sit on the deepest nostalgia vein in Pokémon, and Greninja is a Pokémon-of-the-Year winner getting its first Mega card here. Demand is anchored to the character, not the hype cycle.
The honest risk: it’s early. Secondary data is thin pre/just-post release, the headline single has already come off its day-one peak, and value is concentrated in one card — outside Greninja the SIRs fall away fast. Treat this as a 1–3 year hold on Greninja/Mega-era conviction, not a release-week flip.
Retail vs secondary (AUD) RRP / retail Sealed now Change
Sleeved Booster Pack ~A$8.50 RRP (Target/Kmart/Big W) A$11 at Grailborne ↑ set premium
Booster Bundle (6 packs) ~A$50 RRP (Target/Kmart/Big W) A$69 at Grailborne ↑ ~1.4×
Elite Trainer Box ~A$85 RRP (Target/Kmart/Big W) A$129 at Grailborne ↑ ~1.5×

Retail = AU big-box RRP (investment baseline); secondary = live Grailborne price. Booster boxes are hobby/online only, not stocked at Target/Kmart/Big W.

AU big-box RRP (Target/Kmart/Big W) shown where stocked — these sell through fast on release day, and secondary is where the set actually trades. Sealed locks today’s AUD price; Grailborne prices are live.

Our read — measured: a grail-led Mega-era set whose whole case rests on one card — a genuine A$491 Greninja SIR — plus tight Australian allocation and strong in-stock availability. We keep the Index honest at 70 because the set is unproven on the secondary market and the headline single has already cooled from its peak, so there’s more risk here than on an established set. If you believe in Greninja and the Mega era, sealed now is the right entry; if you want proven comparables, wait for the market to settle. Buy the format you’ll actually keep sealed.

Grailborne’s mission: as always, Grailborne strives to get modern Pokémon sets into the hands of collectors, investors and rippers — securing inventory in high volumes from the secondary market so there’s always something available for everyone.

Grailborne Index is our own editorial rating, not financial advice. Figures cite indicative sealed-market prices; collectibles can fall as well as rise. Do your own research and buy what you enjoy.

Frequently asked questions

When does Chaos Rising release in Australia?
Chaos Rising (ME04) is the fourth English Mega Evolution set, with a 22 May 2026 release. It’s out now at Grailborne, dispatched from Brisbane — securing sealed locks today’s AUD price before the next restock scramble.
What is the top chase card in Chaos Rising?
Mega Greninja ex (Special Illustration Rare, #116) is the marquee chase at roughly A$491 on the early secondary market — unusually, it trades above the gold Mega Hyper Rare (#122, ~A$620). Value drops off sharply after that, with the next SIRs near A$76 and below.
Should I buy now or wait?
Buying sealed now suits buyers with conviction on Greninja and the Mega era: it locks price while AU allocation is tight. If you’d rather see proven secondary comparables first, the set is early and thin on data — waiting is defensible. Either way, buy the format you’ll keep sealed.
Open or hold — which format?
To open, the Booster Bundle (6 packs) is the best value, with the ETB adding the exclusive Fennekin promo. To hold, a sealed Booster Box is the volume format collectors want. Store boxes flat, cool and dry, out of direct sun.
