Part of my Delta Reign coverage: release date & where to buy · chase cards · launch-day checklist · what the hits are worth · all Pokémon guides.
Everyone wants to know what their Delta Reign pulls are worth. Here's the honest answer: until the set launches in English on November 6, 2026, there isn't a real market yet. What exists is presale listings, a handful of prerelease sales, and months of data from the Japanese version of the set, Storm Emeralda. I've pulled all three together below and labeled each one clearly so you know what you're looking at. I'll update this page once English cards have actually been selling for a week or so.
English presale listings (not sales)
These are TCGplayer market or listing prices for the English cards, from The Lab TCG's November 1, 2026 snapshot (evening of October 31, Pacific time). Before launch, most of these are sellers' asking prices on preorders, not completed sales.
| Card (English) | Rarity | Presale price, Nov 1 | What it's based on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Rayquaza ex 138/103 | Special Illustration Rare | $745.75 | Listing price, no TCGplayer sales yet (range $650–$800) |
| Eevee 114/103 | Illustration Rare | $46.50 | Presale market |
| Groudon 111/103 | Illustration Rare | $41.96 | Presale market |
| Kecleon 117/103 | Illustration Rare | $32.06 | Presale market |
| Altaria 116/103 | Illustration Rare | $29.69 | Presale market |
| Nitro R Energy | Ultra Rare | $19.00 | Presale market |
| Masquerain 104/103 | Illustration Rare | $13.95 | Presale market |
| Talonflame ex 124/103 | Ultra Rare | $11.65 | Presale market |
| Mega Rayquaza ex (regular) | Double Rare | $11.05 | Presale market |
| Tate & Liza's Training 130/103 | Ultra Rare | $9.87 | Presale market |
One real sale worth noting: an English Mega Rayquaza ex 138/103 pulled at a prerelease event sold on eBay for $648.95 on October 27, 2026. One sale isn't a market, but it's a better data point than a listing. Pokémon officially revealed that card on October 30. It's illustrated by Kazuki Minami, grand prize winner of the Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024.

The Japanese prices, as a guide
Delta Reign's cards come from the Japanese set Storm Emeralda, which came out July 31, 2026. These are TCGplayer market prices for the Japanese printings from The Lab TCG on October 9, 2026. They are not English prices, and Japanese numbers and rarity names are different.
| Card (Japanese printing) | Rarity | Japanese price, Oct 9 | Sold in 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Rayquaza ex 113/076 | Mega Ultra Rare (gold) | $945.56 | 1 |
| Mega Rayquaza ex 110/076 | Special Art Rare | $299.24 | 39 |
| Raikou ex 108/076 | Special Art Rare | $48.73 | 78 |
| Mega Rayquaza ex 095/076 | Super Rare | $32.85 | 108 |
| Zinnia's Trust 112/076 | Special Art Rare | $22.29 | 56 |
| Mega Golurk ex 109/076 | Special Art Rare | $14.89 | 117 |
| Mega Golisopod ex 107/076 | Special Art Rare | $13.84 | 118 |
How Japanese prices usually translate
This is the part I find most useful. The Lab TCG compared the last four English sets with the Japanese sets they came from. The headline Mega's English gold card settled at a median of just 31% of the Japanese gold price, while the headline English Special Illustration Rare held a median 86%. Applied to Storm Emeralda, that works out to roughly $298 for the English gold Mega Rayquaza ex and $259 for the Special Illustration Rare, a few months after launch. Those are their estimates from math on past sets, not predictions, and the range is wide ($148 to $445 for the SIR).
Notice the gap: the English SIR is listed around $745 right now, roughly three times that settled estimate. That's normal launch hype. The Lab TCG's tracking of the last set, Pitch Black, showed its Mega Darkrai ex Special Illustration Rare going from $380.81 on launch day to $149.83 by October 9, down 61%. Every gold and SIR from that set that had a launch-day price dropped by 52% or more.
What I'd do with this
- If you pull the Rayquaza SIR: sleeve it, top-load it, and seriously consider selling in launch week if you're a seller. History says that's the high point. If you want to grade it, check my grading calculator with real sold prices first.
- If you're buying singles: wait. Prices almost always open high and fall as more packs get opened.
- If you're just opening for fun: pull rates aren't published until after release, so there's no honest "expected value per box" yet. Anyone quoting one now is guessing.
- Always price off sold listings, not asking prices. See how to tell what your Pokémon cards are worth.
Protect your pulls: magnetic holders · penny sleeves. Still buying the set? Read my launch-day checklist and the full chase card breakdown.
Prices on this page were last checked October 31, 2026 (Pacific). I'll refresh them with real English sales after launch week.
