Pokémon Chaos Rising vs Perfect Order: sealed value

Here is each set’s cheapest booster box, Elite Trainer Box and booster bundle in stock at New Zealand stores right now, what each works out to per pack, and how many stores have it. Within each set, the product with the cheapest pack is marked.

Perfect Order is cheaper per pack today: NZ$9.44 in its booster box, against NZ$10.00 in Chaos Rising’s booster box, NZ$0.56 a pack less.

The head-to-head below lines up the same product from each set. A gap of 3% or less is called too close to call: a different store, a shipping charge or a discount code would easily cover it.

The box, ETB and bundle are only part of a set’s sealed range. Here is everything from each set that’s open in New Zealand today (in stock at one store at least), by product type, with the lowest price of each.

Perfect Order has more open today (10 products, against 9). More products open means more choice of store and of format. Tins, collections and other boxes hold packs too, but how many varies from product to product, so they get no price per pack here: check each product’s page for what it holds.

Both are Mega Evolution sets. Perfect Order was released on 27 March 2026, and Chaos Rising followed on 22 May 2026, 56 days later. Both were sold as a 36-pack booster box as well as an Elite Trainer Box and a booster bundle, so the same three products line up against each other above.

Stores price each set on its own, so one shop can be the cheapest for Chaos Rising and not for Perfect Order. That’s why the tables above take each set’s cheapest price from whichever store has it, rather than one store’s shelf, and why it pays to compare before you buy either.

We don’t rank sets by their cards or guess what either will be worth later. What we can tell you is what each costs today, and that’s often enough to decide.

Within a set, the three products differ in packs and extras: a booster box holds 36 packs, an Elite Trainer Box 9 with its accessories, and a booster bundle 6. Which one gives the cheapest pack depends on what stores charge today, and it isn’t always the box.

• In Chaos Rising, the booster box is the cheapest per pack today at NZ$10.00, against NZ$11.50 in the booster bundle and NZ$16.67 in the Elite Trainer Box.
• In Perfect Order, the booster box is the cheapest per pack today at NZ$9.44, against NZ$11.67 in the booster bundle and NZ$17.78 in the Elite Trainer Box.

The box makes sense when you want lots of packs of one set. The ETB suits a player or a gift, and the bundle is the smallest outlay to try a set. The box, ETB and bundle guide covers the differences, and box vs ETB, set by set compares the two for every recent set.

Someone offering you a Chaos Rising or Perfect Order box at a market stall, in a group chat or on a marketplace? Search it in the value checker. It shows the cheapest price at a store with it in stock in New Zealand today, the median of those stores, and the price per pack. Type in the price you were offered to see where it sits.

For example, the cheapest Chaos Rising Booster Box is NZ$359.99 today, and the median of the 4 stores with it in stock is NZ$388.94. An offer at or under the cheapest store is worth a look; one far below every store deserves a closer look at the seller and the wrap.

Swapping a Chaos Rising ETB for a Perfect Order one, or sealed product for cards? The trade calculator adds up both sides. Use today’s cheapest in-stock price of each sealed product as its value, from the tables above or the value checker, so both traders work from the same numbers. The calculator shows the difference in NZD and as a percentage, and which side is ahead.

Because the two sets’ products are priced differently today, an even swap of one ETB for the other isn’t necessarily even in money. The head-to-head above shows by how much.

Before Perfect Order came Ascended Heroes (30 January 2026), sold without a booster box. After Chaos Rising, Pitch Black was released on 17 July 2026. The series continues with 30th Celebration (out 16 September 2026) and Delta Reign (releases 6 November 2026). The Mega Evolution price guide puts every set in the series side by side, with its cheapest pack today.

DexCompare puts New Zealand stores side by side: each one’s own listed price in NZD, excluding shipping, ranked by price and stock. Stores pay nothing to be listed, and commissions never change the order.
