Delta Reign release date and Pokémon TCG Live date
The official pokemon.com expansion page lists the release date as November 6, 2026. It is the sixth main expansion in the Mega Evolution Series and is Standard-legal. According to Siliconera’s report on the announcement, the cards arrive in Pokémon TCG Live on November 5, so digital players can build with the set one day before stores open.
The set is largely based on Japan’s Storm Emeralda expansion, as VGC notes, but the English version is put together separately. A card that’s in the Japanese set isn’t automatically in Delta Reign, or at the same rarity.

The Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box has everything above plus two extra packs (11 in total), and two Kyogre promos instead of one. The second Kyogre carries a Pokémon Center logo. It is sold through Pokémon Center.
Every Delta Reign product: booster box, bundle and Build & Battle
The official showcase lists five products, all available on November 6. pokemon.com doesn’t list prices, so check Pokémon Center or your store for the current price before you pre-order.
| Product | Packs | What else is inside |
|---|---|---|
| Booster Display Box | 36 | Each pack has 10 cards and 1 Basic Energy |
| Elite Trainer Box | 9 | Full-art foil Kyogre promo, 65 sleeves, 40 Energy, player’s guide, dice, coin, box |

The four Build & Battle promos are Masquerain, Magmortar, Enamorus and Kommo-o, ICv2 reported from The Pokémon Company’s October update. Build & Battle Boxes go on sale at prerelease events from October 24 and reach other stores after launch. Retailers also list blisters (one-pack and three-pack, with their own promos), but those aren’t in pokemon.com’s showcase, so we’ve left them out of the table.
Delta Reign card list: officially revealed cards so far
The Pokémon Company hasn’t published the full English card list yet. It typically appears in the official card database around release day. The table below lists only cards The Pokémon Company has shown or named, with where each one came from. Fan lists built from the Japanese set are longer, but they are predictions.

The official set breakdown, as reported by ICv2 from the August 20 announcement:
- 4 Mega Evolution Pokémon ex and 6 other Pokémon ex
- 6 Stadium cards that pair up into 3 Legendary Stadiums
- 14 illustration rare Pokémon
- 17 ultra rare Pokémon and Trainer cards
- 6 special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter cards
pokemon.com also says there are more than 20 Trainer cards and more than 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations.
What are Legendary Stadiums in Delta Reign?
Legendary Stadiums are the set’s new mechanic. Each one is printed as two Stadium cards with connecting artwork. You play both halves together as one Stadium, a bit like the old two-part LEGEND cards from HeartGold & SoulSilver. Insider Gaming reports that both halves come in the same booster pack, so you won’t have to hunt for a missing half.
Some normal Pokémon in the set are built around them. On the official card images, Groudon’s Brutal Lands does 170 more damage if a Stadium with “Legendary” in its name is in play. Kyogre’s Brutal Whirlpool also does 50 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon when one is in play.
Delta Reign chase cards: what’s officially confirmed
Officially, the chase cards are the 6 special illustration rares and the 14 illustration rares. So far, the only English special illustration card The Pokémon Company has shown is the Aarune Supporter (139/103, art by Shimaris Yukichi). The Sprigatito illustration rare came through VGC’s exclusive.
Mega Rayquaza ex is the face of the set. In Japan’s Storm Emeralda it has a special art version and a gold Mega Hyper Rare (Wargamer has a gallery). The Pokémon Company hasn’t shown the English versions yet, or said which of those rarities made it into Delta Reign. We’ll add each special illustration rare here once it’s officially revealed. We aren’t listing prices: nothing is out yet, so any price now is a guess.
How to get the Kyogre, Groudon and Giratina promos
