Pokémon TCG Delta Reign: Set Guide and Card List
Delta Reign is the sixth Mega Evolution expansion and the first English set led by Mega Rayquaza since Roaring Skies in 2015. It released on 6 November 2026, after prerelease events from 24 October to 1 November. The English set is built mainly from Japan's Storm Emeralda, plus cards from the Japanese MEGA starter decks.
What the Name Means
"Delta" refers to the Delta Episode from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where Zinnia summons Rayquaza to stop a falling meteor. It is not a return of the old Delta Species cards. Zinnia appears on her own Supporter card, Zinnia's Trust, and Hoenn's weather trio runs through the whole set.
Card Count and Rarities
The main set has 103 cards, and the secret rares take the total to 141. There are 10 Double Rare ex cards inside the main set, then 14 Illustration Rares (104 to 117), 17 full-art Ultra Rares (118 to 134), 6 Special Illustration Rares (135 to 140) and a single gold Mega Hyper Rare, Mega Rayquaza ex 141/103. The six Special Illustration Rares are Mega Golisopod ex, Raikou ex, Mega Golurk ex, Mega Rayquaza ex, Aarune and Zinnia's Trust.
The Pokémon to Know
Mega Rayquaza ex is the face of the set, with a regular card (084), a Special Illustration Rare (138) and the gold Mega Hyper Rare (141).
