Xerneas - 091/086 - ME04: Chaos Rising (CRI)

Xerneas 091/086 from Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution — Chaos Rising (ME04) is one of the set's most talked-about Illustration Rares, and the artwork alone tells you why. This card was created by YASHIRO Nanaco — the same artist behind Umbreon ex PRE 161, the most expensive card in Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions. The illustration depicts Xerneas in Active Mode, its horns shining in seven colors — the same colors as the blooming flowers that sprout wherever Xerneas touches ground. The piece is a direct visual reference to Xerneas's role as the embodiment of life in Pokémon lore, rendered in a lush Art Nouveau style that makes the naturalistic, ornamental detail pop.

• Artist: YASHIRO Nanaco
• This card's Pokédex entry comes directly from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, tying it into the broader Kalos storyline that runs through the set, with Xerneas carrying a strong collector following as one of the signature Legendary Pokémon from the Generation VI games.

Illustration Rares in this set convey a much deeper visual story than their main-set counterparts — and some end up quite valuable. With YASHIRO Nanaco's track record, a Legendary Pokémon at the center of the Kalos narrative, and a fresh set still building its price floor, this is the Xerneas pull worth holding onto.
