What’s inside the Pokémon Delta Reign set?
Pokémon Delta Reign comes with 141 total cards to complete the master set. The first 103 are part of the main set and the last 38 are secret rares. The secret rares have a tougher pull rate than the cards in the main set. Each pack will have cards from the main set, but not every pack will have a secret rare.
The set introduces three Legendary Stadiums, which each require two stadium cards to use in TCG. In total, there are six Stadium cards in the new set.
The set has four Mega ex Pokémon:
- Mega Golisopod ex
- Mega Golurk ex
- Mega Malamar ex
- Mega Rayquaza ex
Along with the four Mega ex chase cards, Delta Reign includes six regular Pokémon ex:
- Meowscarada ex
- Heat Rotom ex
- Wishiwashi ex
- Raikou ex
- Zoroark ex
- Talonflame ex
There are also 14 Illustration Rares and 17 Ultra Rare Pokémon and Trainer cards.
There are six Special Illustration Rares (SIR), which are usually the most popular cards in a set.
There is one Gold card, which is called Mega Hyper Rare. It’s a Mega Rayquaza ex — and that is sure to be a big chase card for Pokémon collectors.

Which Pokémon Box should you buy?
If you’re looking to complete the set, the boxes that give you the most cards are usually the way to go. Booster boxes and Elite Trainer Boxes are usually the most popular for collectors.
If you’re someone who is interested in building a deck to play the TCG, the Build & Battle Box is a great jumping off point. It gives you a foundational deck and packs that will allow you to change out cards as you build your deck.
Where to Buy Pokémon Delta Reign?
The best places to find Pokémon Delta Reign are probably in your local stores. On release day, November 6, 2026, long lines were outside big box stores like Target, Best Buy and WalMart.
Fans even camped out overnight to try and get cards at retail price.
It will be tough to beat those long lines, but it’s worth checking the stores when they have potential restocks.
Your local hobby shops may also have the product in stock, but it could be difficult to find for MSRP. However, some stores allow for a discount if you break the seal on the box before leaving the store. This way, they know the box is going to a collector and not someone trying to resell the product for profit.
Check out online shops as well for cards or buy into breaks on the secondary market.
If you’re looking for a specific card like the Mega Rayquaza ex, you might want to buy that one outright without searching for it in packs.
Don't wait for restocks. Packs on PrizePicks are open 24/7 — rip whenever you want, starting at $1!
