The Top Five Pokémon Chase Cards for the Month of June
June 2026 finds the Pokémon TCG world running hot.
Chaos Rising, which dropped on May 22, is the freshest expansion in the Mega Evolution block, and it is still the white-hot pack opening target heading into summer. With Pitch Black waiting in the wings for July 17 and the franchise’s 30th-anniversary celebrations ongoing, Pokémon is keeping the whole hobby buzzing.
The secondary market is still in its early cycle frenzy, which means prices are moving fast and cooling from the Day 1 peaks. Here are the top five chase cards for the month of June.
Mega Greninja ex #116 (Chaos Rising, Special Illustration Rare)
This is the white whale of the entire set, and honestly one of the defining chase cards of the Mega Evolution era so far.
Greninja has sat near the top of every popularity poll since 2014, and Chaos Rising finally gives the ninja frog its own Mega form in the TCG, a debut tied to Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Susumu Maeya’s artwork is the showstopper, the closing panel of a horizontal panorama that links up across the Froakie and Frogadier Illustration Rares to form one continuous scene.
Completed sales have been settling around the $400 mark, with active listings still asking closer to $500, all of it cooling from a Day 1 peak that flirted with $590. Community trackers peg the pull rate at roughly 1 in 620 packs, so landing one will not be cheap or easy.

Mega Greninja ex #122 (Chaos Rising, Mega Hyper Rare)
If the SIR is the white whale, the gold-etched Mega Hyper Rare is the boss at the very top of the rarity ladder.
There is only one Mega Hyper Rare in any given expansion, and in Chaos Rising that honor belongs, fittingly, to Greninja.
The full-gold treatment is as loud as the modern Pokémon TCG gets, and the pull rate is brutal, hovering around 1 in 1,100 packs by community estimates.
The market reflects that scarcity, with completed sales averaging near $300, though individual sales have swung up toward $400 depending on the day.
With this much collector momentum behind it, do not be surprised to see this one climb once the nostalgia really sets in.

Cinccino ex #119 (Chaos Rising, Special Illustration Rare)
Here is the surprise of the set. Cinccino has no Mega form, no legendary pedigree, and barely any anime presence outside Generation V, and none of that has mattered one bit.
The artwork, a cozy scene of Cinccino bouncing on a pile of pillows and blankets, became an instant fan favorite the moment it surfaced.
Even better, the gameplay mirrors the art. Cinccino ex can dodge damage on a coin flip, which feels perfectly on brand for that playful, bouncing energy.
Market prices have been running in the $90 to $110 range, making it comfortably the most valuable non-Greninja pull in the set and a personal chase for a lot of collectors.

Mega Dragalge ex #118 (Chaos Rising, Special Illustration Rare)
Dragalge is the set’s second-string Mega chase, but do not let that label fool you, because the card is gorgeous.
Illustrated by Kazumasa Yasukuni, it shows Dragalge bathed in light from above and surrounded by brilliant, swirling spirals of color, an abstract take on the Pokémon’s potent poison.
It is a Dragon type with real visual drama, and it has held up better than some expected for a Pokémon without a marquee name.
Recent sales have been hovering in the $60 to $65 range, though some trackers list it closer to $100, putting it in the mid-tier of the Chaos Rising Secret Rare cluster and within reach for collectors who got priced out of the Greninja cards.

Mega Floette ex #117 (Chaos Rising, Special Illustration Rare)
Rounding out the five is one of the most quietly beautiful cards in the set.
Where most Mega ex SIRs lean into scale and aggression, Mega Floette goes the other way entirely, with a graceful, gold-and-pink composition that depicts the Pokémon suspended mid-air.
The card also carries real story weight, tying into AZ’s long running Floette arc, and it pairs naturally with the AZ’s Tranquility Trainer SIR (#120) for collectors chasing the full narrative.
That lore-driven demand gives it a durable floor. Pricing has been the trickiest to pin down this month, with sales landing anywhere from the mid-$50s to the mid-$80s, depending on the source and condition. So, this is one to watch closely as the set settles in.
