It is headlined by Mega Rayquaza ex, returning after more than a decade, and introduces the new Legendary Stadium mechanic.

Delta Reign: Set Overview
Delta Reign is the sixth set (ME06) of the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution series, released right after 30th Celebration. It is led by Mega Rayquaza ex and introduces the new Legendary Stadium mechanic. The last time Rayquaza appeared as a Mega Evolution in the TCG was M Rayquaza-EX in Ancient Origins in 2015.
| Item | Details |
| Release date | 6 November 2026 (Prerelease events from 24 October 2026) |
| Set name | Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Delta Reign (ME06) |
| Japanese counterpart | Storm Emeralda |
| Main set size | 103 cards (plus special versions numbered #104 to #141) |
| Headliner | Mega Rayquaza ex (three versions; the two rarest are SIR #138 and MHR #141) |
| New mechanic | Legendary Stadium: Stadium cards made of two halves played together |
| New Mega Evolution Pokémon | Mega Golurk ex, Mega Malamar ex, Mega Golisopod ex and more |
Three things to note about this set:
- Legendary Stadium: Each Legendary Stadium is made of two matching halves that must be played together. Packs that contain a Legendary Stadium include both halves, so you never have to hunt for the other half.
- Three versions of Mega Rayquaza ex: Besides the main-set version (Double Rare #084), there are a Special Illustration Rare (SIR #138) and a Mega Hyper Rare (MHR #141), the two rarest cards in the set.
- The Eevee from the Eevee ex Starter Set: In Japan this Eevee was only available in the Eevee ex Starter Set; the English release puts it in booster packs. See the Top 5 below.

Top 5 Must-Buy Singles from Delta Reign
These five cards are chosen mainly for collection value: character popularity, how rare each version is, and how well the card represents the set. We drew on TCGplayer’s “The 10 Cards Everybody Wants from Delta Reign”; numbers, rarities and card text come from TCGplayer product pages. The set has only just been released and some high-rarity singles are still finding their price, so the reference prices below are taken from each card’s TCGplayer product page (as of 9 November 2026). They are for reference only; please check the live price on TCGplayer before you order. HK$ figures are converted at US$1≈HK$7.840.
1. Mega Rayquaza ex (SIR #138 / MHR #141)
| Version | Market price (US$) | Reference price (HK$) |
| Double Rare (#084) | US$7.89 | HK$62 |
| Special Illustration Rare (#138) | US$306.23 | HK$2,401 |
| Mega Hyper Rare (#141) | US$269.73 | HK$2,115 |
The star of the set and the card with the highest collection value. Mega Rayquaza ex comes in three versions: the Special Illustration Rare (#138, illustrated by Kazuki Minami) shows the card in rich colour, while the Mega Hyper Rare (#141) is the set’s highest rarity and uses a gold monochrome finish. Judging from other Mega Evolution sets such as Perfect Order, Chaos Rising and Pitch Black, the SIR version is widely expected to become the most valuable card in the set.
It also has competitive potential: a 280 HP Basic Pokémon whose Ruler’s Roar Ability lets you look at the top 4 cards of your deck and attach a Basic Energy you find there when you play it from your hand onto your Bench, and whose Storm Emerald attack does 50 damage for each Fire Energy and each Lightning Energy attached to all of your Pokémon.
2. Zinnia’s Trust (SIR #140)
| Version | Market price (US$) | Reference price (HK$) |
| Uncommon (#103) | US$0.10 | HK$0.78 |
| Ultra Rare (#131) | US$5.17 | HK$41 |
| Special Illustration Rare (#140) | US$28.97 | HK$227 |
Zinnia is a favourite in dragon-themed sets, and her cards in Evolving Skies and Dragon Majesty were sought after by collectors. Paired with Rayquaza and printed as a Special Illustration Rare, this version is expected to continue that trend.
Zinnia’s Trust is a Supporter: switch your Active Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon, and if you do, move an Energy from the Pokémon you moved to the Bench to the new Active Pokémon. The card has three versions (Uncommon, Ultra Rare and SIR), so check for number #140 before you order.
3. Raikou ex (SIR #136)
| Version | Market price (US$) | Reference price (HK$) |
| Double Rare (#033) | US$0.38 | HK$2.98 |
| Ultra Rare (#121) | US$4.02 | HK$32 |
| Special Illustration Rare (#136) | US$84.94 | HK$666 |
Raikou is one of the Legendary Beasts and has had few full-art cards in the past. Oku’s dynamic Special Illustration Rare is expected to rank among the best illustrations Raikou has ever received, making it a must-have for fans of the trio.
Raikou ex is a 200 HP Lightning Basic Pokémon whose Thunder-Clad attack can be used on your first turn if you go first.
4. Groudon (Illustration Rare #111)
| Version | Market price (US$) | Reference price (HK$) |
| Rare (#053) | US$0.12 | HK$0.94 |
| Illustration Rare (#111) | US$18.77 | HK$147 |
Rayquaza forms a triangle with Groudon and Kyogre, which is where the “Delta” in the set name comes from, and Groudon is one of Rayquaza’s two partners. The Illustration Rare version (#111) is drawn in saturated colour and is one of the Illustration Rares drawing the most attention in the set.
Groudon is a 150 HP Fighting Basic Pokémon whose Strength attack does 40 damage. If you want to collect the Rayquaza triangle, this is the easiest corner to own. Note that the Illustration Rare is #111; the regular Rare (#053) is priced far lower.
5. Eevee (Illustration Rare #114)
| Version | Market price (US$) | Reference price (HK$) |
| Common (#078) | US$0.09 | HK$0.71 |
| Illustration Rare (#114) | US$29.41 | HK$231 |
In Japan this Eevee was only available in the Eevee ex Starter Set, so it has been hard to find; the English release puts it in booster packs, which collectors have been waiting for. The artwork shows Eevee sitting in a bag, and it is expected to be one of the most valuable Illustration Rares in the set.
Eevee is a 70 HP Colorless Basic Pokémon whose Nap attack heals 20 damage from itself. A Common version (#078) also exists, so check for #114 when collecting.

Delta Reign Rarity and Number Guide
The same card often appears in several versions in Delta Reign, so check the rarity and number before you order. The main set has 103 cards; numbers #104 to #141 are special versions:
| Rarity | Numbers | Examples in this article |

| Ultra Rare | #118–#134 | Raikou ex (#121), Zinnia’s Trust (#131) |

Delta Reign Products and Price Comparison
The table lists what is in each product and its TCGplayer market price (as of 9 November 2026). Product contents come from TCGplayer’s Buyer’s Guide; market prices change, so please check the live price on TCGplayer before you order.
| Product | Contents | Booster packs | TCGplayer market price (US$) |
| Elite Trainer Box (ETB) | 9 booster packs, a Kyogre foil promo, 65 sleeves, 45 Energy cards, dice, markers and dividers | 9 | US$90.26 |
| Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box | 11 booster packs, a stamped Kyogre foil promo, sleeves, Energy cards and accessories; a Pokémon Center exclusive | 11 | US$193.26 |
| Booster Box | 36 booster packs | 36 | US$209.49 |
| Booster Bundle | 6 booster packs | 6 | US$44.46 |
| Build & Battle Box | A 40-card ready-to-play deck (with 1 of 4 foil promos: Masquerain, Magmortar, Enamorus or Kommo-o) and 4 booster packs | 4 | US$46.14 |
| 3-Pack Blister | 3 booster packs and a Seel promo card | 3 | US$23.15 |
| Single-Pack Blister | 1 booster pack, a coin and a promo card | 1 | US$12.71 |
TCGplayer’s Buyer’s Guide sees the products roughly like this (pre-sale data as of 22 October 2026; check the latest prices):
- Elite Trainer Box: The most popular product of each set and often held long term by collectors; with so many printings, prices may drift down after release.
- Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box: A Pokémon Center exclusive that carries a clear premium and a high cost per pack; most buyers keep it sealed.
- Booster Box: 36 packs and the lowest cost per pack of any product; it displays less well than an ETB, but it is the best value if you want to open many packs.
- Build & Battle Box: A ready-to-play 40-card deck for Prerelease events or at home; one of four foil promos is a selling point.
Singles or Boxes?
If your goal is the cards above, buying the singles you want is usually more practical than opening boxes. If you enjoy opening packs, a full booster box is still usually the lowest cost per pack:
| Comparison | Buy the singles you want | Buy boxes / products (open them) |
| Getting the card you want | Guaranteed, you pick the exact card | Random; SIR, MHR and other high-rarity versions depend on pull rates |
| Shipping weight | A card in a sleeve weighs almost nothing | A full box is heavy and bulky |
| Condition control | You choose the condition | Luck of the draw |
| Opening experience | None | Yes, this is the main joy of boxes |
| Best for | Collectors who know which cards they want | Fans of opening packs and completing sets |
- Forwarding is charged by weight, and singles are the ideal goods to ship. Singles are high in value and almost weightless, so the same shipping fee brings home far more value than a full sealed box. For the actual fee, check the Buy&Ship rates on the day you place your order.
- You can choose the condition. Use the Cart Optimizer to consolidate sellers and you can also reduce the number of separate shipments.
