The English-language Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion 'Mega Evolution—Delta Reign' was released in English-speaking territories, including the United States, on November 6. In a preview article on October 30, the official Pokémon website (pokemon.com) announced that the expansion belongs to the Mega Evolution series and features "over 135 cards." A day prior, on November 5, the official website also published a guide announcing that players can collect and battle with Delta Reign in the digital online game 'Pokémon TCG Live.'

Featured Card: Mega Rayquaza ex

The marquee card introduced in the official preview is the Colorless-type Mega Rayquaza ex (HP 280). Its Ability, 'Ruler's Roar,' allows a player to look at the top 4 cards of their deck and attach basic Energy cards found there to this Pokémon when played from the hand onto the Bench. Its attack, 'Storm Emerald,' deals 50 damage for each Fire and Lightning Energy attached to all of the player's Pokémon. The Special Illustration Rare version was illustrated by Kazuki Minami, Grand Prize winner of the 'Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024.'

This card was released in Japan first. The Japanese official website's page for the expansion pack 'Storm Emeralda' (released July 31, 2026, 200 yen per pack) introduced Mega Rayquaza ex with the identical effect and an attack named 'Storm Emeralda.' This Japanese page also introduced the paired Stadium cards 'Legendary Mountain Peak' and 'Legendary Ocean Trench.' However, official English announcements did not explicitly state which Japanese expansion Delta Reign was based on.

Considerations for Korean Readers

In the Korean version, an expansion with a corresponding theme has already been released. According to the Pokémon Card Game Korean official website, the MEGA expansion pack 'Storm Emeralda (스톰에메랄다)' was released on August 21, 2026, priced at 1,500 won per pack (5 cards) and 45,000 won per box (30 packs). Therefore, this English release is not a new Korean-language product release. The English edition packs contain 10 cards (including 1 basic Energy), differing in pack composition from the Korean and Japanese editions. How the over 135 cards included in Delta Reign correspond precisely to the card list of the Korean version of Storm Emeralda has not been confirmed via official materials.
