What Is Delta Reign?

Delta Reign is the English-language Pokémon TCG set (ME6, set code DLR) releasing on November 6, 2026, localising the Japanese set Storm Emeralda (M6). Both sets share the same Mega Evolution Series mascot, Mega Rayquaza ex — in Delta Reign it appears across three rarities: a 280 HP main-set ex (084/103), a Special Illustration Rare (138/103) with the Ability "Ruler's Roar" and the attack "Storm Emerald," and the set's sole Mega Hyper Rare (141/103).

This guide is published ahead of release using early community pack breaks — the earliest data captures the highest search volume, so the numbers here will tighten as more boxes and cases get opened after launch. Delta Reign totals 141 English cards and promos: a 103-card main set (76 cards carried over from Storm Emeralda plus 27 new cards pulled in from Japan's MEGA Starter Decks, including Eevee ex, Zoroark ex and Meowscarada ex — confirmed by the "/103" print total on official card scans) plus 38 secret rares.

Delta Reign's secret-rare run isn't a simple ladder of four tiers — it's 14 Illustration Rare, 17 Ultra Rare, 6 Special Illustration Rare and exactly 1 Mega Hyper Rare (MHR), the brand-new top rarity for this era. There is no separate "Full Art" rarity: full-art Trainers, full-art Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, and the set's 3 special Energy cards all share the Ultra Rare tier. The set's sole MHR — a gold-foil alternate art of Mega Rayquaza ex — did not appear in our 80-pack sample, which tracks given there's only one in the entire 141-card set.

Delta Reign also debuts three pairs of split-art Legendary Stadium cards based on the Hoenn weather trio — Legendary Pyroduct, Legendary Summit and Legendary Trench — where each half shows connected artwork across two adjacent card numbers.

Box Contents & Pack Structure

Delta Reign's official product lineup:

• Booster Box — 36 packs
• Booster Bundle — 6 packs
• Elite Trainer Box — 9 packs, 1 promo, sleeves, dice, dividers
• Pokémon Center ETB — 11 packs, 2 promos, sleeves, dice, dividers
• Single Pack Blister — 1 pack, 1 promo card, 1 coin
• 3-Pack Blister — 3 packs, 1 promo card
• Build & Battle Box — 4 packs, 40-card deck, promo card
• Premium Checklane Blisters (4 variants) — 1 pack, 1 coin, themed cards (Ampharos line, Delphox line, Deoxys & Xerneas, Delibird & Keldeo)

Each pack's rare slot determines the hit — a regular Rare, a standard ex, an Illustration Rare, an Ultra Rare, a Special Illustration Rare, or the new Mega Hyper Rare. Not every pack guarantees an ex. In our 80-pack sample, 56.25% of packs yielded only a regular Rare (or a cosmetic "connecting art" Legendary Stadium half) in the rare slot.

Pull Rate Data: 80 Packs

This is an early, pre-release sample — 80 packs aggregated from community openings ahead of the November 6 launch. It is enough to establish the ex and floor-pack cadence with reasonable confidence, but the Special Illustration Rare row rests on just 2 pulls, and Mega Hyper Rare has 0 pulls (expected, since only 1 exists in the whole set) — treat those rows as directional until a larger post-release sample comes in.

Sample — 80 packs, community-aggregated pre-release openings

*SIR rests on just 2 pulls and MHR on 0 pulls in this 80-pack pre-release sample — directionally useful but statistically the coarsest rows here. Only 1 Mega Hyper Rare exists in the entire 141-card set, so a 0/80 result this early is expected rather than alarming. Four of the 45 blank packs had a cosmetic "connecting art" Legendary Stadium half (a background that runs across two adjacent card numbers) but still no ex or better — we still count these as blank, which is the honest way to report a floor-only pack.

Named notable pulls

• ex (Double Rare): 20 assorted pulls — the sample didn't log specific names, only the rarity tier. Drawn from a pool of 10 distinct main-set ex, including Mega Rayquaza ex itself (084/103)
• Illustration Rare: Groudon (111/103), Electivire (108/103), Azurill (115/103), Growlithe (106/103), Eevee (114/103) — all confirmed via official card scans or the published checklist
• Ultra Rare: Zinnia's Trust (131/103, Supporter), Tate & Liza's Training (130/103, Supporter), Pokémon Catcher (129/103, Item), Wishiwashi ex (120/103), Emcee's Hype (128/103, Supporter), Mega Golisopod ex (118/103) — plus 2 of the set's 3 special Energy cards (Bubbly Water Energy 132/103, Growing Grass Energy 133/103, Nitro Fire Energy 134/103)
• Special Illustration Rare: Mega Golisopod ex (135/103), Zinnia's Trust (140/103) — both have separate, lower-tier UR and/or main-set prints too
• Mega Hyper Rare: none pulled in our sample. The only card at this tier is Mega Rayquaza ex (141/103) — the set's single rarest card

Key findings

• Hit rate: 43.75% of packs had an ex or better (35 of 80), with 56.25% floor-only
• ex cadence: ~1 ex per 4 packs, ~9 per 36-pack box — right in line with recent English Mega Evolution-era sets
• IR: landed at 6.25%, ~2.25 per box (14 distinct cards)
• UR: the biggest secret tier at 10.0%, ~4 per box — but spread across 17 distinct cards (Trainers, Mega-ex pulls and special Energy), so any one specific card is still a long shot
• SIR / MHR: any SIR roughly 1 per box; Mega Hyper Rare landed zero times in 80 packs — tracks exactly with it being the single rarest card (1 of 1) in the whole set

Rarity Breakdown

The Chase Cards

Delta Reign has not released yet, so no real secondary-market prices exist for these cards — treat any number you see elsewhere online before November 6, 2026 as a guess. For a rough cross-market reference point only, see our Storm Emeralda pack opening EV guide, which has real Japanese prices for the same Mega Rayquaza ex art — but Delta Reign is a different product with its own print run and its own prices once it's in circulation.

Should You Open or Buy Singles?

Before you commit either way, it is worth checking how fast a card actually moves once the set is out. We rank the most liquid Pokémon cards by verified annual sales volume, a far better signal of resale speed than a sticker price.

Open if:

• You enjoy the pack-opening experience and are comfortable with variance (56.25% of packs yield only a regular Rare)
• You want to build toward the full 103-card main set
• You want the steady ex, IR and UR cadence — ~9 ex, ~2.25 IR and ~4 UR per box is a reliable hit rate (~15 secondary hits per box, before SIR/MHR)
• You want a shot at any SIR (roughly 1 per box) or want to gamble on the brand-new Mega Hyper Rare tier

Buy singles if:

• You specifically want Mega Rayquaza ex's MHR print, or any other named SIR — these landed zero and twice (respectively) in 80 packs, and the expected cost of chasing one specifically through boxes will almost certainly exceed the single once prices exist
• You want a specific IR or UR card — with 17 distinct UR and 14 distinct IR sharing those tiers' pull rates, targeting one card by name through opening is expensive

The numbers on chasing the Mega Hyper Rare

• Observed rate: 0 Mega Hyper Rares in 80 packs — expected, since only 1 exists in the entire 141-card set (Mega Rayquaza ex, 141/103)
• Estimated rate: roughly 1 in 200 packs (~1 in 5.6 boxes), based on comparable sets' top-secret scarcity — not a measurement, and will be replaced once a confirmed pull is logged
• No EN market price exists yet (set releases Nov 6, 2026), so no expected-cost comparison can be made yet — check back after release
• As a rule of thumb from every prior Mega Evolution-era set, the top secret tier is always cheaper to buy as a single than to chase through sealed product once prices settle

The honest bottom line: Delta Reign's early numbers look like a typical, hit-heavy Mega Evolution-era English set — roughly 9 ex, 2.25 IR and 4 UR per box, with just over half of packs floor-only. The Special Illustration Rare and brand-new Mega Hyper Rare tiers are still thinly sampled at 80 packs (SIR on 2 pulls, MHR on zero), so don't treat the estimated Mega Hyper Rare odds as gospel yet. We'll update this guide with a much larger sample and real prices once Delta Reign releases on November 6, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Delta Reign pack guarantee an ex or better?

No. Across our early 80-pack sample, 45 packs (56.25%) delivered nothing above a regular Rare — four of those had a cosmetic "connecting art" common, but still no ex or above. Expect roughly 4 in 9 packs to produce a real hit.

How many ex per box in Delta Reign?

Standard ex landed in 20 of 80 packs (25.0%), which works out to about 9 ex per 36-pack booster box — right in line with recent English Mega Evolution-era sets.

Is the Mega Hyper Rare worth chasing through packs?

Almost certainly not, once prices exist. Mega Hyper Rare — the new top chase tier for this era — is the single rarest card in the whole set: only one exists, Mega Rayquaza ex (141/103), and it did not appear at all in our 80-pack sample (0/80). Based on comparable sets' top-secret scarcity we estimate roughly 1 in 200 packs (~1 in 5.6 boxes), but that figure is an estimate, not a measurement. Prices do not exist yet since Delta Reign has not released, but this is exactly the kind of card that will cost far less bought as a single than chased through boxes.

What is the Illustration Rare, Ultra Rare and Special Illustration Rare rate in Delta Reign?

Illustration Rare (IR) landed 5 times in 80 packs (6.25%, ~2.25 per box; 14 distinct cards exist, numbered 104-117). Ultra Rare (UR) landed 8 times (10.0%, ~4 per box; 17 distinct cards, numbered 118-134 — this tier covers full-art Trainers, Mega-ex pulls and the set's 3 special Energy cards, there is no separate "Full Art" rarity). Special Illustration Rare (SIR) landed twice (2.5%, roughly 1 per box; 6 distinct cards, numbered 135-140). Confirmed real SIR pulls in the set include Raikou ex (136/103) and Mega Rayquaza ex (138/103).

How does Delta Reign compare to Storm Emeralda, its Japanese counterpart?

Storm Emeralda is the Japanese Mega Evolution set (M6) that Delta Reign localises into English (ME6), sharing the same mascot, Mega Rayquaza ex. The two products have completely different pack structures and rarity ladders — Storm Emeralda uses JP-style AR/SR/MUR/SAR tiers across 5-card packs, while Delta Reign uses the EN-style ex (Double Rare)/IR/UR/SIR/Mega Hyper Rare ladder across larger packs — so the per-pack rates are not directly comparable. See our Storm Emeralda pull rates guide for the JP data.

When does Delta Reign release?

Delta Reign (ME6) releases in English on November 6, 2026, with prerelease events already underway. This guide is published ahead of release using early community pack breaks, and will be updated with a larger sample and real market prices once the set is in circulation.

How big is the Delta Reign set?

Delta Reign totals 141 English cards and promos: a 103-card main set (76 cards carried over from Japan's Storm Emeralda plus 27 new cards from Japan's MEGA Starter Decks, including Eevee ex, Zoroark ex and Meowscarada ex) plus 38 secret rares — 14 Illustration Rare, 17 Ultra Rare, 6 Special Illustration Rare and 1 Mega Hyper Rare.
