Delta Reign Buyer's Guide: Every Product, Presale Prices, Chase Cards and Store Promos
Delta Reign releases November 6: every sealed product, MSRP vs. presale prices, the Mega Rayquaza ex chase cards, and where to get each store promo.
Mega Evolution: Delta Reign releases November 6, and it has the job of following 30th Celebration with the hobby’s favorite sky dragon front and center. Here’s the whole buying picture in one place: what’s in the set, every sealed product, the store promos, and what presale prices are doing in the final week.
The basics
| Detail | |
|---|---|
| Release | November 6, 2026 |
| Cards | Over 135, per Pokémon |
| Series | Sixth Mega Evolution set, per PokeBeach |
| Prereleases | Started October 24. PokeBeach says they run through November 1; TCGplayer says November 5 |
| Headliner | Mega Rayquaza ex |
Build & Battle Boxes went on sale at Play! Pokémon stores for prerelease events before the wider release.
Where the cards come from
Unusually, Delta Reign draws on two Japanese sources, per PokeBeach: the Storm Emeralda set (released in Japan on July 31) and 30 unique cards from Japan’s MEGA Starter Decks featuring Eevee ex, Zoroark ex and Meowscarada ex.
Two notable cuts, per PokeBeach: the full-art Mega Rayquaza ex and the regular Eevee ex aren’t in the English set. And the Japanese Kyogre Illustration Rare became the English Elite Trainer Box promo, which Pokémon’s product page confirms. More on all of this in our card list and cut cards rundown.
Per TCGplayer, the set has four Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, six Pokémon ex, 14 Illustration Rares, 17 Ultra Rares and six Special Illustration Rares.
Legendary Stadiums

The set’s new mechanic: six Stadium cards that make three Legendary Stadiums, each split across two matching cards played together. Good news for collectors: per TCGplayer, a pack that has a Legendary Stadium comes with both halves, so there’s no hunting for the missing piece. PokeBeach notes the idea echoes the LEGEND cards of the HeartGold & SoulSilver era, and since both halves share a name, you can only run two complete Stadiums in a deck.
The chase cards

Mega Rayquaza ex is the headliner, and TCGplayer says the hype has already pushed up prices on older Rayquaza printings. English singles don’t exist yet, so the best guide is the Japanese market. These are TCGplayer market prices for the Japanese Storm Emeralda cards, reported by The Lab TCG on October 9 and rounded up by Grail Report:
| Japanese card | Japanese rarity | Price, Oct 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Rayquaza ex 113/076 | Mega Ultra Rare (gold) | $945.56 (one sale in 30 days) |
| Mega Rayquaza ex 110/076 | Special Art Rare | $299.24 |
| Raikou ex 108/076 | Special Art Rare | $48.73 |
| Zinnia’s Trust 112/076 | Special Art Rare | $22.29 |
| Mega Golurk ex 109/076 | Special Art Rare | $14.89 |
| Mega Golisopod ex 107/076 | Special Art Rare | $13.84 |
Read this as a ranking, not a price list. These are Japanese cards, English prices find their own level, and the $945 gold Rayquaza rests on a single sale. The rarity names change too: per Grail Report, Special Art Rare becomes Special Illustration Rare in English, and Mega Ultra Rare becomes Mega Hyper Rare. And the full-art Mega Rayquaza ex cut from the set isn’t in packs at all: it’s the promo in the Mega Rayquaza ex Premium Tournament Collection, out February 12, 2027. What the data does show clearly: the Rayquaza cards sit far above everything else in the set.

Presale prices: cooling off before release
Pokémon doesn’t publish one universal price list, so MSRPs below are as reported by TCGplayer and SealedCompare. Presale prices are TCGplayer market prices from two dates: TCGplayer’s own buyer’s guide on October 22, and SealedCompare’s October 28 update.
| Product | Reported MSRP | Oct 22 | Oct 28 | Per pack, Oct 28 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Booster Box (36 packs) | $159.99 | $240 | $234.21 | $6.51 |
| Elite Trainer Box (9 packs) | $49.99 | $105 | $106.36 | $11.82 |
| Booster Bundle (6 packs) | $26.94 | $66 | $49.90 | $8.32 |
| Build & Battle Box (4 packs + deck) | $21.99 | $68 | $51.07 | $12.77 |
| 3-Pack Blister (Seel) | $13.99 | $36 | $33.74 | $11.25 |
| Single-Pack Blister (Spritzee) | n/a | $20 | $19.95 | $19.95 |
| Pokémon Center ETB (11 packs) | $59.99 | $350 | $295.00 | $26.82 |
The trend in a week: the Booster Bundle dropped about 24%, the Build & Battle Box about 25%, and the Pokémon Center ETB about 16%. The booster box and regular ETB barely moved. These are presale numbers, not a settled market, and release-week supply can push them either way.
The bottom line
If you’re opening packs, the booster box is still the cheapest way in at about $6.51 a pack. The Booster Bundle is the one to watch: at about $8.32 a pack, it’s now the best mid-size option, down from $11 a week ago. The regular ETB is still more than double its $49.99 MSRP, and single blisters at about $20 a pack are stocking stuffers, not a plan. If you can buy at MSRP on release day, you’re ahead of every number on this page.
