Delta Reign Chase Cards: Mega Rayquaza ex, Japanese Prices, and Buying Options

Mega Rayquaza ex is the top chase in Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Delta Reign, and its gold version is expected to lead the set. The English set releases on November 6, 2026, so there are no established market prices for English singles yet.

All the chase cards in this ranking have already been released in Japan as part of Storm Emeralda, the Japanese set that Delta Reign is based on. Japanese card shop listings offer an early look at which of these cards sell for the most. Below, we rank the top chase cards by those prices, explain how the English and Japanese sets differ, and compare the ways to get the cards, from English booster boxes to Japanese singles you can buy today.

Top Delta Reign Chase Cards Ranked by Price

Delta Reign won’t be released in English until November 6, so we’ve ranked the chase cards by the median listed price of their Storm Emeralda counterparts at three Japanese card shops. Where price ranges overlap, small differences in rank may not be meaningful. So far, only four Mega Evolution Pokémon ex have been officially confirmed for the English set, and the remaining cards on this list are expected to appear based on Storm Emeralda’s card list, though their inclusion has not yet been confirmed.

Card	Expected English rarity	Japanese rarity and number	Japanese shop price (JPY)	Approx. USD
Mega Rayquaza ex	Mega Hyper Rare	MUR 113/076	¥50,000–¥84,800	$316–$537
Mega Rayquaza ex	Special Illustration Rare	SAR 110/076	¥32,000–¥34,800	$203–$220
Raikou ex	Special Illustration Rare	SAR 108/076	¥4,480–¥4,980	$28–$32
Zinnia’s Trust	Special Illustration Rare	SAR 112/076	¥1,700–¥2,280	$11–$14
Mega Golisopod ex	Special Illustration Rare	SAR 107/076	¥750–¥1,080	$4.75–$6.84
Kyogre	Illustration Rare	AR 080/076	¥700–¥980	$4.43–$6.20
Groudon	Illustration Rare	AR 084/076	¥700–¥980	$4.43–$6.20
Kecleon	Illustration Rare	AR 088/076	¥550–¥880	$3.48–$5.57

Prices are Japanese shop listings for ungraded cards, checked on October 21, 2026, and converted at $1 = ¥158.00.

Mega Rayquaza ex Mega Hyper Rare

Based on current Japanese prices, the gold Mega Rayquaza ex is the most expensive card on this list. It has already been released in Japan as Storm Emeralda’s only MUR, numbered 113/076 (official Japanese card database). In English, it is expected to arrive as a Mega Hyper Rare, the rarity name The Pokémon Company used for a Mega Darkrai ex card in Pitch Black. The artwork is by takuyoa.

Japanese shops list it at ¥50,000–¥84,800 (about $316–$537), and only one of the three shops we checked had it in stock. Card condition can make a big difference in price. The same shop lists an A- condition copy for ¥64,800, based on its own condition scale.

Mega Rayquaza ex Special Illustration Rare

The Special Illustration Rare Mega Rayquaza ex is the second-biggest pull and sells for considerably less than the gold version. In Japan, it is the SAR numbered 110/076, and it features a full-art illustration by Kazuki Minami, distinct from takuyoa’s artwork on the gold card (official card page). The English version is expected to carry the Special Illustration Rare name.

Japanese shops list it at ¥32,000–¥34,800 (about $203–$220), and all three shops we checked had copies. The same Pokémon also appears as a Double Rare (058/076) and a Super Rare (095/076), but the SAR and MUR are the two versions this ranking counts as chase cards.

Raikou ex Special Illustration Rare

Raikou ex is the most valuable card on this list after the two Mega Rayquaza ex versions, but the drop from the top two is steep. The Japanese SAR, numbered 108/076 with art by Oku, sells for ¥4,480–¥4,980 (about $28–$32) at Japanese shops (official card page). Raikou ex and every card ranked below it are currently listed for under ¥5,000 in Japan.

Zinnia’s Trust Special Illustration Rare

Zinnia’s Trust is expected to be the English name of the Supporter SAR that ties into the set’s Rayquaza theme. In Japan, it is numbered 112/076 and illustrated by Teeziro (official card page).

Zinnia is a central character in the Delta Episode of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a story arc that also features Rayquaza (official Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site, Delta Episode overview). Japanese shops list the card at ¥1,700–¥2,280 (about $11–$14). As one of Storm Emeralda’s six SARs, it’s a much more affordable option for collectors seeking a high-rarity illustration card.

Mega Golisopod ex Special Illustration Rare

Mega Golisopod ex is one of the four Mega Evolution Pokémon ex confirmed for Delta Reign, alongside Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golurk ex, and Mega Malamar ex (official press release). Its Japanese SAR, numbered 107/076 with art by nagimiso, sells for ¥750–¥1,080 (about $4.75–$6.84). That makes it a far more affordable way to add a full-art Mega Evolution Pokémon ex to your collection.

Kyogre and Groudon Illustration Rares

The Kyogre and Groudon Illustration Rares make natural companion cards for Rayquaza collectors, and both are much more affordable than the top chase cards. In Japan, Kyogre is AR 080/076 by Nurikabe (official card page) and Groudon is AR 084/076 by Ryota Murayama (official card page). Both sell for ¥700–¥980 (about $4.43–$6.20), and searching by card number helps you find the Storm Emeralda versions without confusing them with older Groudon or Kyogre cards.

Why Delta Reign Chase Card Prices Come From Japan for Now

English Delta Reign singles have no market price yet because the set doesn’t release until November 6, 2026 (official press release). Some price sites fill the gap by converting Japanese prices for Storm Emeralda into US dollars and showing them as Delta Reign prices.

This article also uses Japanese prices, with the source shops and currency conversion rate clearly identified. Once English cards reach the market, their prices may differ from Japanese prices. For now, use these figures to see which cards command the highest prices in Japan, not as predictions of English-market values.

How Delta Reign Chase Cards Differ From Storm Emeralda

Delta Reign is built mostly from Storm Emeralda, but the two sets are not identical, and Storm Emeralda was released in Japan on July 31, 2026, roughly three months before the English set launches on November 6. Prerelease events began October 24 and the set reaches Pokémon TCG Live on November 5, but collectors can already buy the Japanese cards today.

Delta Reign Has More Cards Than Storm Emeralda

Delta Reign is the larger set, with The Pokémon Company listing more than 135 cards (pokemon.com). Storm Emeralda has 113 numbered cards, including 76 main-set cards and secret rares numbered 077 through 113 (official Japanese card database).

The extra English cards are reported to come mostly from Japan’s MEGA Starter Set ex decks, which launched on the same day as Storm Emeralda. The full official English checklist is not out yet, so totals such as 140 cards come from fan tracking sites rather than The Pokémon Company.

Rarity Names Change Between English and Japanese

English and Japanese sets often use different names for roughly equivalent rarity tiers, which matters when you search for the Japanese versions of these cards. The official English announcement highlights 14 Illustration Rares, 17 Ultra Rares, and six Special Illustration Rares (official press release), while Storm Emeralda has 12 ARs, 18 SRs, six SARs, and one MUR. Collectors commonly use the rough equivalents below when comparing English and Japanese rarities.

English rarity	Japanese rarity	English count (official)	Japanese count
Illustration Rare (IR)	Art Rare (AR)	14	12
Ultra Rare (UR)	Super Rare (SR)	17	18
Special Illustration Rare (SIR)	Special Art Rare (SAR)	6	6
Mega Hyper Rare	Mega Ultra Rare (MUR)	Not announced	1

Best Way to Get Delta Reign Chase Cards: English Products or Japanese Cards

The best way to collect Delta Reign chase cards depends on whether you want English cards when the set releases on November 6 or prefer Japanese singles and booster boxes that are already available. Based on current Japanese singles prices, the two Mega Rayquaza ex cards stand well above the rest of the chase cards in terms of market value.

Option	Language	Available From	What You Get	Best For
Booster box	English	Nov 6, 2026	36 packs (reported)	Opening many English packs
Elite Trainer Box	English	Nov 6, 2026	9 packs + Kyogre promo (reported)	The promo and accessories
Singles	Japanese	Now	The exact card you choose	One specific chase card
Booster box	Japanese	Now	30 packs (reported)	Opening packs today

English Booster Box for Opening the Most Packs

If you want English cards and the most chances at a hit, an English booster box is the pick once Delta Reign releases on November 6. Each box is reported to contain 36 packs of 10 cards. Before the November 6 release, boxes are available for preorder only.

We could not find official pull rates for Delta Reign from The Pokémon Company, so treat any odds you see online as estimates. A box gives you many packs, but no number of packs guarantees a specific card.

English Elite Trainer Box for the Kyogre Promo

An Elite Trainer Box suits collectors who value the promo and accessories more than pack count, and The Pokémon Company has confirmed ETBs for Delta Reign (official press release). The standard ETB is reported to include nine packs and a Kyogre promo numbered MEP 117. The Pokémon Center version reportedly adds two more packs and a second Kyogre promo with a Pokémon Center stamp.

That promo is not the Kyogre Illustration Rare found in booster packs; it is a separate card. Buying an ETB doesn’t guarantee the IR, and because it contains fewer packs than a booster box, you’ll have fewer chances to pull a top chase card.

Japanese Singles and Boxes Available Now

Storm Emeralda has been on sale in Japan since July 31, 2026, so the Japanese versions of these chase cards can already be bought as singles. If you want one specific card, buy the single: opening packs never guarantees a particular hit, and Japanese shops list the Mega Rayquaza ex SAR at ¥32,000–¥34,800 (about $203–$220).

If you want to open packs right away, a sealed Japanese booster box sells for ¥11,800 (about $75) at one shop we checked, and boxes are reported to hold 30 packs of five cards. Keep in mind that Japanese cards are printed in Japanese and use different card numbers from the English set. Neokyo’s Pokémon TCG page lists Storm Emeralda among its featured Japanese expansions, so you can start your search there.

How to Buy the Japanese Versions of Delta Reign Chase Cards

Neokyo is a proxy shopping service that purchases items from Japanese marketplaces and online retailers on your behalf and arranges international shipping (Neokyo service guide). Search for the Japanese card by its number, such as 110/076 for the Mega Rayquaza ex SAR, so you don’t confuse it with other versions of the same Pokémon.

Before you place a buy request, estimate your total cost. Neokyo charges a ¥350 service fee per item and a packing fee starting at ¥500 for packages under 2 kg (Neokyo fees), and international shipping is charged separately. Neokyo’s shipping cost estimator helps you estimate international shipping fees based on your destination country and the weight of your packed parcel.

Import duties depend on your country and its trade agreements with Japan, and in most cases Neokyo does not collect them. For buyers in the United States and its territories, the EU, and Australia, Neokyo notes that customs charges may be collected when the package ships, so check the duties and taxes that apply to you before placing your order.

1. Search for the Japanese card by its card number.
2. Add up the card price, Neokyo’s fees, international shipping, and any import duties.
3. Submit a buy request, and Neokyo’s team will communicate with the seller for you.
4. Keep your purchases in free storage for up to 45 days while you finish your haul.
5. Create a packing request so the team can consolidate your items into one package.
6. Check the final shipping cost and pick one of four international carriers.

Once you know which card you want, start from Neokyo’s Pokémon TCG page. Storm Emeralda sits among the featured expansions there, so you can go straight to the set.

Which Delta Reign Chase Cards to Target First

The best first target depends on your budget and what you want from the set. Here is how the main goals line up with the cards in this guide.

• If you’re after the highest-priced chase cards, consider the gold Mega Rayquaza ex (MUR 113/076, ¥50,000–¥84,800) or the less expensive Special Illustration Rare version (SAR 110/076, ¥32,000–¥34,800).
• Collectors on a budget who want Rayquaza-themed cards can pick up Zinnia’s Trust (¥1,700–¥2,280) or the Kyogre and Groudon IRs (¥700–¥980 each).
• To open English packs or get the Kyogre promo, wait for the English booster box or ETB on November 6.

Until English-market prices become established, Japanese prices offer the best early indication of which Delta Reign chase cards may be the most valuable. If you’d rather not wait, the Japanese versions are already on sale.
