The detail that distinguishes this release
The official May date predates Pitch Black. Chronology is useful for sorting a binder, but it says nothing about whether a specific card is legal in a particular event; regulations and individual reprint rules must be checked separately.
What the two counts actually answer
The difference between 122 total and 86 official-count entries is 36. That arithmetic describes these provider fields, not a guaranteed number of secret rares or a pull-rate estimate. “Official count” is the API field name; it is not an independent statement that the publisher has audited this catalog. A completion target can mean one of each numbered entry, every additional-number entry, or all verified physical finishes. Those are different projects. Write the target above the checklist before comparing progress.
Identify a copy without relying on the product title
Record English, the Chaos Rising set name and the exact local collector number before matching a listing. Store me04 as the provider namespace, not as an assumed printed code. Then describe the actual finish, stamp, condition and product origin. Two listings can share a species name and set title while offering materially different copies. A photograph may help a buyer inspect an item, but this reference deliberately does not reproduce scans or claim authentication.
Release sequence is not a cross-region mapping
This is position 5 in the dated eight-release Mega-era cohort. The date 2026-05-22 comes from the English product schedule, while counts come from a separate metadata source. A Japanese release can supply related cards without matching the complete English checklist. Compare actual card identities and product evidence, and preserve an unresolved counterpart as unresolved.
Use the page before spending, not as a price signal
Set a scope, inventory what is actually missing, and compare exact-print completed transactions with shipping, fees and condition included. A large total does not predict scarcity, appreciation or the cheapest route to completion. There is no live valuation, pack-odds calculation, active affiliate link or promised master-set inventory here.
