First Look of Pokémon expansion DELTA Reign!

Trainers, get ready for a thunderous return! The Pokémon Company International has officially announced the next expansion in the Trading Card Game series: Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Delta Reign.

Set to launch globally on November 6, 2026, this expansion marks the grand return of a fan-favorite Legend and introduces brand-new gameplay mechanics that will change up your table strategies.

Mega Rayquaza ex Descends!

Leading the set is the Sky High Pokémon itself—Mega Rayquaza ex! This marks Mega Rayquaza’s long-awaited return to the Pokémon TCG for the first time since the XY—Ancient Origins expansion back in 2015.

Joining Mega Rayquaza ex in bringing massive power to battle are several other heavyweight Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, including:

• Mega Golurk ex
• Mega Malamar ex
• Mega Golisopod ex

Introducing a New Mechanic: Legendary Stadiums

Delta Reign isn't just bringing raw strength; it’s also introducing an innovative battle concept: Legendary Stadiums.

Legendary Stadiums are formed by combining two separate Stadium cards played as a pair. When placed side by side, they merge to form extended panoramic artwork across the field and unlock unique strategies. Best of all? booster packs that contain a Legendary Stadium will include both halves required to complete it!
