Perfect Order Pull Rates: Chase Cards, SIR & Hits Guide

Perfect Order is a compact 124-card set, and the pull rate data from early openings suggests the smaller card pool works in your favour. With fewer cards diluting each pack, your odds of hitting specific chase cards are meaningfully better than in larger sets like Ascended Heroes. That mathematical advantage is the set's quiet strength, and it shapes how you should think about which products to buy.

Documented Pull Rates

Community data from the first weeks post-release shows the following approximate rates. As with all pull rate data, these are averages across large sample sizes. Your individual box might run hot or cold. That's the nature of randomised packs. If you want to model the odds for a specific number of packs, you can run them through our pull rate calculator before you buy.

Illustration Rare: 1 in 8-10 packs. In a 36-pack booster box, expect 3-5 IRs. In the 11-pack PC ETB, expect 1-2. The IR pool in Perfect Order is smaller than Ascended Heroes, which means you'll see more IR duplicates if you open multiple boxes. But each individual IR feels more significant because there are fewer to collect. The Mega Starmie ex IR and Mega Clefable ex IR are the visual standouts in this tier.

Ultra Rare: 1 in 10-12 packs. Full-art Pokemon ex and Trainer cards. 3-4 per booster box on average. Perfect Order's UR pool is tight enough that two booster boxes should give you most of the URs in the set, making it one of the more completable rarity tiers in recent memory. Most URs trade in the $4-$10 range, with the Mega Zygarde ex UR sitting slightly above that.

Special Illustration Rare: Approximately 1 in 70-90 packs. The smaller set appears to have slightly better SIR rates than average. From a booster box (36 packs), you have roughly a 35-40% chance of pulling at least one SIR. From an 11-pack ETB, about 12-15%. Those odds are comparable to Ascended Heroes in raw terms, but the critical difference is the SIR pool size. Perfect Order has fewer SIRs, so each individual card appears more frequently across the total print run. If you're chasing a specific SIR (say the Mega Zygarde ex) your per-pack odds are better here than chasing any specific SIR from a 295-card set.

Mega Attack Rare: 1 in 35-45 packs. Perfect Order includes Mega Starmie ex, Mega Clefable ex, and Mega Skarmory ex in this tier. Expect 0-1 per booster box. The Mega Starmie ex Mega Attack Rare has a water-effect holographic pattern that's genuinely eye-catching, and it's trading above the other two in this tier. These cards occupy a sweet spot for collectors: rare enough to feel special but not so scarce that you'll never pull one.

Mega Hyper Rare: Approximately 1 in 1,000+ packs. Extremely scarce. Don't factor this into purchasing decisions. If you pull one, treat it as a windfall rather than a return on investment. At roughly 28+ booster boxes per expected pull, these are functionally lottery wins.

The Chase Cards

Mega Zygarde ex SIR (#120/088) is the set's crown jewel. The kaleidoscope artwork makes it one of the most visually distinctive SIRs in the Mega Evolution era. The card uses a prismatic colour effect that shifts depending on the viewing angle. Early secondary market pricing has been strong, driven by both the art quality and Zygarde's fan following as the guardian of the Kalos ecosystem. This is the kind of card that holds its value because collectors actively seek it for display rather than just set completion.

Meowth ex SIR (#121/088) surprised everyone. A Team Rocket-inspired comic book border design created unexpected demand from collectors who grew up with the original Team Rocket set in 2000. The nostalgia factor here is powerful. This card is outperforming initial price predictions, and the gap between it and the Zygarde SIR has been narrowing as more collectors recognise the design quality. It's a reminder that popularity doesn't always follow power level. Meowth isn't a competitive staple, but the card design resonates on an emotional level.

Jacinthe SIR (#122/088) continues the Supporter SIR trend. These character-focused cards attract a collector segment that specifically chases Trainer SIRs across sets, building entire collections around the Supporter artwork. Predicted to be the set's most valuable Supporter card, Jacinthe benefits from the growing appreciation for Supporter SIRs that's been building since the Paldea era sets.

Beyond the SIRs, the Illustration Rares of Mega Starmie ex and Mega Clefable ex are visually strong and hold moderate trade value. The set's compact size means even the mid-tier pulls feel significant rather than forgettable. When you pull an IR from Perfect Order, you know it's one of a smaller pool, and that psychological weight matters for the opening experience.

Box-Level Value Assessment

A Perfect Order booster box at current pricing typically returns cards worth 60-80% of the box cost in raw secondary market value. This is better than the average modern Pokemon set, where you often see 40-60% return. The smaller card pool concentrates value into fewer, more impactful pulls rather than spreading it across hundreds of low-value cards.

The box-level variance is also lower than larger sets. Because the card pool is compact, the floor on a "bad" box is higher. You'll still pull 3-5 IRs and 3-4 URs that carry some trade value, even if you miss the SIR. In a 295-card set, a box without a SIR can feel like mostly bulk. In Perfect Order, the non-SIR pulls still matter.

This lower variance makes Perfect Order particularly appealing for collectors who buy one or two boxes rather than cases. When you're only opening a single box, the difference between a high floor and a low floor matters more than the theoretical ceiling. A Perfect Order box that misses the SIR still delivers a satisfying opening session with multiple display-worthy cards. The same can't always be said for larger sets where a cold box leaves you with a stack of commons and not much else to show for it.

For the booster bundle (6 packs, £35), your odds of hitting something meaningful are lower per purchase but the cost of entry is the lowest in the Mega Evolution era. Expect 1 IR from a bundle on average, with a roughly 7-9% chance at a SIR. It's a solid way to test the set before committing to a box, and at £35 it's an easy impulse purchase that doesn't require serious deliberation.

How It Compares

Against Ascended Heroes pull rates, Perfect Order offers better odds per pack on specific cards but fewer total chase cards. The God Pack factor in Ascended Heroes gives it a higher ceiling per individual pack, but Perfect Order's consistency and lower variance make it the safer bet for collectors who want predictable returns from their openings. Against Phantasmal Flames, Perfect Order lacks a $500+ single card chase but compensates with broader box-level value consistency and a more satisfying completion path. If you're the type of collector who tracks every pull in a spreadsheet, Perfect Order's numbers are reassuringly predictable across multiple boxes.

For collectors focused on completing the master set, Perfect Order is one of the most achievable targets in the Mega Evolution era. The compact card pool means you can realistically track your progress and fill gaps through targeted singles purchases after your initial sealed openings.
