Remember the full-art Mega Rayquaza ex that got cut from Delta Reign’s English set? It has a home. The Mega Rayquaza ex Premium Tournament Collection launches February 12, 2027, per Pokémon’s product page, and that card is the headline promo.

What’s in the box

Per Pokémon’s official product page:

  • 1 foil promo card featuring Mega Rayquaza ex
  • 3 foil promo cards: Zinnia’s Trust, Adventure Lantern and Mega Rayquaza Cap
  • 2 cards that form one Legendary Summit Stadium
  • 65 Dragon Shield card sleeves in a themed box
  • A Dragon Shield deck box
  • 1 plastic Pokémon coin
  • 8 Pokémon TCG booster packs
  • A code card for Pokémon TCG Live

The Rayquaza promo is numbered MEP 118, and per PokeBeach it’s the full-art card that was cut from the English Delta Reign list. Zinnia’s Trust and the two-card Legendary Summit Stadium are both Delta Reign cards, so this box plays as a companion to the set.

The Dragon Shield switch

The sleeves and deck box are made by Dragon Shield, which Pokémon’s page calls out by name. PokeBeach notes that Ultra PRO has typically made the accessories in these collections, so this is a notable switch. For players, Dragon Shield sleeves are a favorite, so this may be the rare product where the sleeves get used instead of shoved in a drawer.

Release date and price

The product page says February 12, 2027. Per PokeBeach, Pokémon briefly listed the collection for both November and February before correcting it to February only.

Pokémon hasn’t announced a price, and we couldn’t confirm one from a retailer. We’ll update this when there’s an MSRP.
