Delta Reign landed on Friday, 6 November 2026, and it belongs to Rayquaza. Pokémon's press release says Mega Rayquaza is back in the trading card game for the first time since XY—Ancient Origins, a set from 2015, and the market noticed: on 8 November, two days after release, the set's two dearest cards were both Mega Rayquaza ex, and between them they were worth more than the other 139 cards put together, at $604.40 against $401.81.
Our price log for Delta Reign starts on 8 November, so there is no "since release" chart yet. Every price below is live and refreshes every night.
The short answer
- Open packs or buy singles? Buy the singles you want. Most of the set's value sits in two cards, and more than two thirds of its 141 cards sell for under a dollar. If you do want packs, the booster box was the cheapest way in on 8 November, at $5.87 a pack.
- The card to watch: Mega Rayquaza ex, the Special Illustration Rare (#138). It is the dearest card in the set, and on 8 November it sold for more than the gold Mega Hyper Rare of the same Pokémon.
- Best value: the Double Rare Mega Rayquaza ex (#084). Same card, same attack, same ability, and on 8 November about a fortieth of the price of #138.

That is ten printings but nine cards: Mega Rayquaza ex is in there twice. The last column is another version of the same card in this set: it plays exactly the same, and every card in the ten has one.
On 8 November, every card in the top ten was a Special Illustration Rare, an Illustration Rare or the gold Mega Hyper Rare. The first card below them that wasn't one was Talonflame ex, an Ultra Rare, at number eleven, and its Double Rare was pricey too: dearer than every other Double Rare in the set except Mega Rayquaza ex's.
One Rayquaza, three prices
Mega Rayquaza ex is printed three times in Delta Reign, and all three are the same card: 280 HP, the Ruler's Roar ability and the Storm Emerald attack, word for word. The only difference is the picture, and the picture is what the price is for.
- Double Rare #084 — $7.66
- Mega Hyper Rare #141 — $284.88
- Special Illustration Rare #138 — $319.52
The gold one is the set's only Mega Hyper Rare. On 8 November the Special Illustration Rare still sold for more. If you are building a deck, the Double Rare is the card, and the other two are very expensive pictures of it.
Cheap cards, expensive pictures
On 8 November, the four dearest Illustration Rares were not the Pokémon the set was announced with. They were Eevee, Kecleon, Growlithe and Groudon, and each one is also a plain Common or Rare in the same set that sold for under a dollar that day. What you pay for is the artist's version.
| Illustration Rare | Price | Plain printing |
|---|---|---|
|
Eevee #114 art by Hideki Ishikawa |
$25.87 |
$0.74 Common |
|
Kecleon #117 art by Tomokazu Komiya |
$23.42 |
$0.22 Common |
|
Growlithe #106 art by Yoshimoto Yoshimon |
$16.79 |
$0.28 Common |
|
Groudon #111 art by Ryota Murayama |
$16.49 |
$0.24 Rare |
Kecleon is the extreme one: on 8 November, its Illustration Rare sold for about a hundred times its Common.
Legendary Stadiums: the biggest picture is the cheapest
Delta Reign also brings something new: six Stadium cards that pair up into three Legendary Stadiums. Pokémon puts it like this: "Legendary Stadiums are created by combining two Stadium cards, played as a pair and creating an extended artwork when placed next to each other." A pack that has one gives you both halves.
| Legendary Stadium | Left half | Right half |
|---|---|---|
| Legendary Pyroduct | $0.97 #094 | $0.96 #095 |
| Legendary Trench | $0.21 #098 | $0.22 #099 |
| Legendary Summit | $0.21 #096 | $0.23 #097 |
Every half is an Uncommon, and every half sold for under a dollar on 8 November. That day the dearest pair, Legendary Pyroduct, came to about a dollar and a half for both halves: two cards wide, and cheaper than a single loose pack.
The cheapest way into packs
Pack counts are Pokémon's, prices are TCGplayer's market, and the per-pack figure is the price divided by the packs, on 8 November. We don't estimate pull rates, so this is what packs cost, not a guess at what's inside them.
| Product | Packs | Price | Per pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booster Box | 36 | $193.62 | $5.87 |
| Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box | 11 | $154.93 | $18.97 |
| Elite Trainer Box | 9 | $82.66 | $9.60 |
| Booster Bundle | 6 | $42.65 | $6.95 |
| Booster Pack | 1 | $6.34 | $7.57 |
On 8 November the booster box worked out about a fifth cheaper per pack than buying packs one at a time. The Elite Trainer Box adds a full-art Kyogre promo, 65 card sleeves and 40 Energy cards. The Pokémon Center version cost more than twice as much that day, and for that you get two more packs and a second Kyogre promo with a Pokémon Center logo.
