Pokémon Delta Reign - Card list and latest news
Updated Oct 26, 2026Delta Reign is the sixth main English set of the Mega Evolution era: 141 cards, headlined by Mega Rayquaza ex, out November 6, 2026. It reaches Pokémon TCG Live a day earlier, on November 5, and prereleases have been running since October 24. Mega Rayquaza returns to the game for the first time since XY Ancient Origins, if you set aside the 2021 Celebrations reprint of M Rayquaza-EX. The full list is out. The main set runs from 001 to 103, and 38 secret rares follow up to 141/103: 14 illustration rares, 17 ultra rares, six special illustration rares and a gold Mega Hyper Rare, Mega Rayquaza ex at 141. Four new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex lead the set (Rayquaza, Golurk, Malamar and Golisopod), joined by six Pokémon ex: Meowscarada, Heat Rotom, Wishiwashi, Raikou, Zoroark and Talonflame. Its headline mechanic is the Legendary Stadium. There are three, Legendary Pyroduct, Legendary Summit and Legendary Trench, and each is printed as two halves whose artwork continues from one card to the other. You need two different halves in hand to put one into play, and because both halves share one name, the four-copy rule caps a deck at two complete Stadiums. A booster pack that holds one half always holds the other. The idea goes back to the LEGEND cards of HeartGold & SoulSilver. Like Phantasmal Flames before it, Delta Reign is assembled from more than one Japanese release. 111 of its cards come from Storm Emeralda, 29 from the three MEGA Starter Set ex decks that launched alongside it, and one, the Supporter Grisham, from a Japanese Pokémon Card Gym promo pack. Three Japanese cards did not make the trip: Eevee ex from the decks, the full-art Mega Rayquaza ex ultra rare from Storm Emeralda, and Storm Emeralda's Kyogre art rare, which became the Elite Trainer Box promo. That leaves four Kyogre to tell apart. The rare at 026/103, drawn by Anderson, is a regular pack card. The full-art Kyogre by Nurikabe is MEP 117, outside the numbered set: one copy in every Elite Trainer Box, plus a second stamped with the Pokémon Center logo in the Pokémon Center edition. And from November 6, a holofoil 026 carrying the Pokémon 30 "What's Your Favorite?" logo is a gift with purchase at participating retailers. A complete 141 needs only the first; a master set chases all four.

Storm Emeralda, five days in: the flagship held and everything under it fell
Aug 5, 2026Japan's Storm Emeralda shipped on 31 July. Its rarest card is down about a third, its second-rarest is down 15 percent, and a supporting-cast card is down 67. The split is the story, and the sealed box is now worth more than what is inside it.
The Futuristic rare, explained: what is known, and what has been invented
Updated Aug 5, 2026A brand-new rarity arrives on 16 September. Four cards, one artist, and a striking amount of confidently written nonsense about how they look. Here is the line between the two.
