Pokémon Delta Reign release date, products and pre-orders (UK)

Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Delta Reign releases in the UK on 6 November 2026, the same day as the rest of the world. Mega Rayquaza ex leads a set of over 135 cards, and the range covers the usual booster box, Elite Trainer Box, booster bundle and blisters. No official UK prices have been published. Each product appears on our Delta Reign pre-order page as soon as it can be ordered.

When is Delta Reign released in the UK?

6 November 2026. The Pokémon Company International has confirmed that Delta Reign reaches participating retailers around the world from that date, so UK players aren't waiting behind the US. Prerelease events at local game stores usually run in the weekends before launch. Check with your nearest Play! Pokémon store if you want to play the set early. At Iconic Trading Cards, Delta Reign pre-orders are dispatched on or around 6 November. Release dates are set by the manufacturer and can occasionally move, and we'll update this guide if that happens.

What is in the Delta Reign set?

Pokémon's own announcement puts the set at over 135 cards. That includes more than 20 Trainer cards and over 35 cards with special illustrations, which are the illustration rares and special illustration rares collectors chase. The star is Mega Rayquaza ex, back in the Pokémon TCG for the first time since XY—Ancient Origins. Three other Mega Pokémon ex join it: Mega Golurk ex, Mega Malamar ex and Mega Golisopod ex.

The new mechanic is the Legendary Stadium. It is built from two Stadium cards that are played together as a pair. Placed side by side, their artwork joins into one extended picture. Both halves come from booster packs, so completing a pair is part of the chase. The idea echoes the two-card LEGEND Pokémon from the HeartGold & SoulSilver era, which older collectors will remember fondly.

Which Delta Reign products are coming?

Product	Packs	Worth knowing
Booster box	36	Lowest cost per pack; the choice for opening the set seriously

Early product photography also shows collection boxes built around the new Mega Pokémon ex. We'll add them here once their contents are confirmed. Choosing between the two big boxes? Our booster box vs Elite Trainer Box guide does the maths.

How much will Delta Reign cost in the UK?

The Pokémon Company has not published UK recommended prices, so any "RRP" you see quoted in pounds is a retailer's own figure. In the US, the Elite Trainer Box has a suggested price of $49.99. Each product on our Delta Reign page shows its price as soon as it's listed. UK delivery on sealed product is £3.95.

Can I get Delta Reign cards before 6 November?

Yes, in Japanese. Japan's Storm Emeralda set is the Japanese counterpart to Delta Reign and is already out, and we stock Storm Emeralda Japanese booster packs. Japanese packs differ from English ones in pack size, card stock and pull rates. Our Japanese vs English Pokémon cards guide explains what changes and why many collectors buy both.

Should you pre-order Delta Reign?

If you want sealed product at launch, yes. Delta Reign lands at the start of the Christmas rush, and popular Pokémon sets have repeatedly sold out at retail within weeks of release. A pre-order is the most reliable way to get stock at the launch price. If you only want one or two specific cards, waiting for singles is almost always cheaper than opening packs. The current Mega Evolution sets are in our Mega Evolution collection, and individual cards are in Mega Evolution singles.
