Mega Rayquaza ex is the top chase in Pok\u00e9mon TCG: Mega Evolution\u2014Delta Reign, and its gold version is expected to lead the set. The English set releases on November 6, 2026<\/a>, so there are no established market prices for English singles yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Delta Reign Chase Cards Ranked by Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong> at three Japanese card shops. Where price ranges overlap, small differences in rank may not be meaningful. So far, only four Mega Evolution Pok\u00e9mon 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices are Japanese shop listings for ungraded cards, checked on October 21, 2026, and converted at $1 = \u00a5158.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mega Rayquaza ex Mega Hyper Rare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Based on current Japanese prices, the gold Mega Rayquaza ex<\/strong> 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<\/a>). In English, it is expected to arrive as a Mega Hyper Rare, the rarity name The Pok\u00e9mon Company used for a Mega Darkrai ex card in Pitch Black<\/a>. The artwork is by takuyoa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese shops list it at \u00a550,000\u2013\u00a584,800 (about $316\u2013$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 \u00a564,800, based on its own condition scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mega Rayquaza ex Special Illustration Rare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Special Illustration Rare Mega Rayquaza ex<\/strong> 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<\/a>). The English version is expected to carry the Special Illustration Rare name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese shops list it at \u00a532,000\u2013\u00a534,800 (about $203\u2013$220), and all three shops we checked had copies. The same Pok\u00e9mon 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raikou ex Special Illustration Rare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Raikou ex<\/strong> 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 \u00a54,480\u2013\u00a54,980 (about $28\u2013$32) at Japanese shops (official card page<\/a>). Raikou ex and every card ranked below it are currently listed for under \u00a55,000 in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zinnia’s Trust Special Illustration Rare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zinnia’s Trust<\/strong> 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<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zinnia is a central character in the Delta Episode of Pok\u00e9mon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a story arc that also features Rayquaza (official Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site<\/a>, Delta Episode overview<\/a>). Japanese shops list the card at \u00a51,700\u2013\u00a52,280 (about $11\u2013$14). As one of Storm Emeralda’s six SARs, it’s a much more affordable option for collectors seeking a high-rarity illustration card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mega Golisopod ex Special Illustration Rare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mega Golisopod ex<\/strong> is one of the four Mega Evolution Pok\u00e9mon ex confirmed for Delta Reign, alongside Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golurk ex, and Mega Malamar ex (official press release<\/a>). Its Japanese SAR, numbered 107\/076 with art by nagimiso, sells for \u00a5750\u2013\u00a51,080 (about $4.75\u2013$6.84). That makes it a far more affordable way to add a full-art Mega Evolution Pok\u00e9mon ex to your collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyogre and Groudon Illustration Rares<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Kyogre and Groudon<\/strong> 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<\/a>) and Groudon is AR 084\/076 by Ryota Murayama (official card page<\/a>). Both sell for \u00a5700\u2013\u00a5980 (about $4.43\u2013$6.20), and searching by card number helps you find the Storm Emeralda versions without confusing them with older Groudon or Kyogre cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Delta Reign Chase Card Prices Come From Japan for Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Note<\/strong>
All prices in this guide are listings for ungraded cards at three Japanese card shops (Yuyu-tei, Card Rush, and Hareruya 2), checked on October 21, 2026. We converted them at $1 = \u00a5158.00, the Federal Reserve rate<\/a> for October 16, 2026. English-market prices will become clearer once the set is released on November 6.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Delta Reign Chase Cards Differ From Storm Emeralda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a>, roughly three months before the English set launches on November 6. Prerelease events began October 24 and the set reaches Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live on November 5, but collectors can already buy the Japanese cards today.<\/p>\n\n\n
