Delta Reign products and prices

The Elite Trainer Box also has 65 card sleeves, 40 Energy cards, 6 damage-counter dice, a coin-flip die, a plastic coin, card dividers, a player's guide and a Pokémon TCG Live code card. Preorder listings for the Elite Trainer Box ran well above MSRP at some stores in late October, so compare a few retailers before you pay a premium.

What's in Delta Reign: card count and rarities

The official set description lists over 135 cards:

• 4 Mega Evolution Pokémon ex: Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golurk ex, Mega Malamar ex and Mega Golisopod ex.
• 6 other Pokémon ex.
• 14 Illustration Rares, 17 Ultra Rares and 6 Special Illustration Rares.
• 3 Legendary Stadiums: six Stadium cards that work in pairs. Placed side by side, the two halves form one long piece of artwork. The first one revealed is Legendary Summit, and a pack that contains a Legendary Stadium has both halves.

Delta Reign chase cards: what the Japanese set tells us

Storm Emeralda has 113 cards: 76 in the main set and 37 secret rares numbered above 076. Here are its most valuable cards right now, with near-mint prices in US dollars for the Japanese printing. The card names are translations of the Japanese names, and the English names can differ at release.

Mega Rayquaza ex carries the set. Its two top versions sell for about $747 and $266, and the next card, Raikou ex, is at $44. Every other Special Art Rare sells for under $25 in Japan. That's the same shape as Phantasmal Flames, where Mega Charizard X ex was worth far more than anything else in the set.

Do Japanese chase cards carry over to the English set?

Almost always. In the last four main Mega Evolution sets, 27 of the 28 Japanese Special Art Rares and Mega Ultra Rares appeared in the English set as Special Illustration Rares or Mega Hyper Rares, a few of them under a different translated name. Every Mega Ultra Rare made it. The one exception was Oricorio ex in Phantasmal Flames, which has no Special Illustration Rare in English. Here's how the top cards compare today:

Two patterns stand out. The English Mega Hyper Rare sells for 26% to 52% of the Japanese Mega Ultra Rare in every set. The top English Special Illustration Rare holds up better, at 49% to 87% of the Japanese price, and some smaller cards sell for more in English: Morpeko ex from Pitch Black is about $25 in Japan and $58 in English.

These are prices on October 27, 2026, months after each English release, not launch-week prices. New-set prices move fast in the first weeks after release, and Rayquaza is a very popular Pokémon, so read these ranges as history, not as a forecast for Delta Reign.

Delta Reign card list and prices

Once Delta Reign is out and price data is available, it will get a full card list with live prices in our Pokémon set list, like every other English set. Until then, here are all 45 rare cards from Storm Emeralda with their Japanese prices. The English set is bigger, so its card numbers will be different.

RR is Double Rare, AR is Art Rare (Illustration Rare in English), SR is Super Rare (Ultra Rare), SAR is Special Art Rare (Special Illustration Rare) and MUR is Mega Ultra Rare (Mega Hyper Rare).
