Delta Reign Chase Cards: 10 Ranked by Japan's Prices

Delta Reign chase cards come down to two Mega Rayquaza ex prints, if Japan is a guide. On October 22, 2026, they made up 81% of the summed market price of Storm Emeralda's 37 secret rares.

That's the read you'll have if you're opening packs at a prerelease from October 24, because nothing in English has a price yet. TCGplayer listed no Delta Reign single on October 22, and Bill's Archive says the cards "are not priced yet". Delta Reign is the English version of Storm Emeralda, which came out in Japan on July 31, so this list ranks the Japanese cards by their TCGplayer market price on October 22, US shipping, and marks which ones have been shown in English.

Japan's top ten is two Rayquaza cards and a long drop

Only nine of the 37 Japanese secret rares were at $10 or more. Card three is worth 16% of card two, which is why we'd call this a two-card chase.

1. Mega Rayquaza ex 113/076, Mega Ultra Rare: $747.33

It's the top price in the set and the thinnest. TCGplayer has logged five Near Mint sales of the Japanese gold card since release: $1,299.99 in the week of August 3, then $840, $696.69, $470 in the week of October 12 and $429.99 this week. The $747.33 market price sits above both recent sales, so it isn't what one sells for now. TCGplayer's Delta Reign preview expects an English gold Mega Hyper Rare and ranks it second in the set, behind the SIR.

2. Mega Rayquaza ex 110/076, Special Art Rare: $274.42

This is the card with a real market: 91 Near Mint copies sold on TCGplayer since release, and the price has been lower than the week before in every week since. It was $844.50 in the release week (2 sales), $711.37 in the first full week (6 sales) and $281.92 in the week of October 12 (8 sales), 60% under the first full week. The four sales so far this week ran from $235 to $263.99, all under the $274.42 market price.

3. Raikou ex 108/076, Special Art Rare: $43.56

Raikou ex is one of the two Delta Reign SIRs shown in English so far, as 136/103. One shopper in Japan saw the same shape on launch weekend: u/tsoul22, checking local card shops there, wrote on r/PokeInvesting on August 2 (1 point): "Only the Raqs, Raikou, and one of the Zinnias was "pricey." Everything else (even the Kyogre and Groudon) are almost at 1600yen, so about $10. And that's day 2!" On October 22, TCGplayer had Groudon at $11.72 and Kyogre at $9.45. In the Rayquaza SIR thread quoted further down, u/Guccillionaire (2 points, October 9) called Raikou a top-3 card: "The raikou will be top 3 of the set too…" Japan has it third. The gap is what to plan around: $43.56 is about a sixth of the Rayquaza SAR.

4. Mega Rayquaza ex 095/076, Super Rare: $25.51

The third Rayquaza print in the top four, and the cheapest full-art Mega Rayquaza ex in Japan at $25.51. No English counterpart has been shown.

5. Zinnia's Trust 112/076, Special Art Rare: $21.33

Zinnia's Trust is the only card besides Rayquaza with more than one print in the top ten, this one and the Super Rare at ninth. Neither has been shown in English.

6. Mega Golurk ex 109/076, Special Art Rare: $16.99

Mega Golurk ex is one of the three Mega ex cards Pokémon named alongside Rayquaza in its announcement. Being a set headliner hasn't lifted it far: $16.99.

7. Groudon 084/076, Art Rare: $11.72

The highest Art Rare, and one of the eleven English Illustration Rares already shown, as 111/103, by Ryota Murayama.

8. Mega Golisopod ex 107/076, Special Art Rare: $11.05

Another of the named Megas, at $11.05, and the cheapest of Storm Emeralda's three Mega ex Special Art Rares.

9. Zinnia's Trust 102/076, Super Rare: $10.86

The other Zinnia's Trust, the full art, at $10.86, about half its Special Art Rare.

10. Kyogre 080/076, Art Rare: $9.45

The last card in the top ten, and the first under $10. Its English Illustration Rare hasn't been shown. Just behind it, at 11th, is Aarune 111/076, the sixth Special Art Rare, at $7.35. Its English SIR, 139/103, is the one Special Illustration Rare pokemon.com previewed on October 5, calling it "flat out adorable."

Where Japan's prices mislead for English cards

TCGplayer's preview expects the English Rayquaza SIR to beat the gold card. Japan's prices say the reverse. To see which way English sets have leaned, we priced the same cards in four earlier English sets and the Japanese sets they adapt, in the same hour on October 22, 2026.

Source: TCGplayer market prices, US shipping, read October 22, 2026, 10:29 UTC. Set pairs: Bill's Archive. Percentages are our arithmetic.

In all four pairs, the English gold card was priced at 26% to 54% of the Japanese one, and in three of four the English SIR was at or above the gold card (Greninja by 74 cents). We side with TCGplayer on the order. The rest of the SIRs mostly went the other way: of the 18 other SIRs in these sets we could match by name, 15 were priced higher in English than in Japan, with a median of 159%. The split is by card type. All 12 Pokémon ex SIRs were dearer in English, at 105% to 237% of the Japanese price; the six Supporters split three and three, with Dawn, Rosa's Encouragement and Gwynn cheaper in English. We'd expect Delta Reign's English list to be flatter than Japan's, with the Rayquaza cards cheaper relative to Japan and Raikou ex dearer. Zinnia's Trust is a Supporter, so those four sets don't point either way for it. That's judgement, not data, and four sets are a small sample.

Japan's list can't show every Delta Reign card

Both sets have 37 secret rares, but the English main set runs to 103 cards against Storm Emeralda's 76, so Delta Reign has at least 140 cards by Bill's Archive's count (Pokémon says "over 135") to Japan's 113. Three of the eleven English Illustration Rares shown so far, Sprigatito, Zorua and Eevee, have no Storm Emeralda Art Rare at all. Four of the six English SIRs and every Ultra Rare are still unrevealed, and nobody has counted Delta Reign pull rates. So a chase card could still turn up that isn't on Japan's list. We'd look first at those four SIRs: Special Art Rares, their Japanese equivalent, are five of Japan's top ten. Our Delta Reign set page adds each English card as it's shown, and if you'd rather open the Japanese set now, importing Storm Emeralda has the landed cost.

How collectors reacted: "they always drop"

On r/PokeInvesting on October 8, u/sadnchilled asked whether the Rayquaza SIR would "hold off dropping below 200". The top reply, from u/sorrowsong7 at 46 points, didn't hedge:

u/CalsPokeMart pushed back underneath, at 15 points: "You can't say always. There's been a few big ones in recent times that ran up after release. The mega zard, the mega gengar + pikachu from Ascended." Those are two commenters in a 55-comment thread, not a poll. Japan's own Rayquaza SAR sides with the first so far: twelve straight weeks down, though at $274.42 it's still above the 200 the thread asked about.

Our verdict: two cards are the chase, and Raikou is the one to watch

The call: at a Delta Reign prerelease, only the two Mega Rayquaza ex secret rares are chase cards by Japan's numbers. Everything else in Japan's top ten was $43.56 or less on October 22. The odds are long, too: if Delta Reign matches Pitch Black's count of 1 in 480 packs for one named SIR, seven packs give about a 1.4% chance at the Rayquaza SIR. Seven is a prerelease seat where the store follows Pokémon's recommendation: a Build & Battle Box's four packs, plus three more at the end, which is the store's call. If you pull either Rayquaza card and plan to sell, Japan's record says waiting hasn't paid: twelve straight weeks down. Raikou ex is the one to watch below them, because every Pokémon ex SIR under the mascot, 12 of 12 in four earlier sets, was priced higher in English than in Japan. Our Special Illustration Rare pull rates have the per-set odds, our Delta Reign prerelease guide has the promos and dates, and our Japanese vs English cards guide covers buying the Japanese copy instead.

What would change our mind: if the English Raikou ex SIR's first two weeks of TCGplayer sales settle above $100, the chase is three cards deep, not two.
