What The Pokémon Company revealed
The preview calls it "the new special illustration rare card featuring the Legendary Pokémon." It is listed as Mega Rayquaza ex 138/103 in card catalogues, which matches the card's file name on Pokémon's site.
| Mega Rayquaza ex (Special Illustration Rare) | |
|---|---|
| Set | Mega Evolution Delta Reign (ME06) |
| Number | 138/103 |
| HP and type | 280 HP, Colorless |
| Illustrator | Kazuki Minami |
| English release | November 6, 2026 |
Its Ability, Ruler's Roar, works when you play it from your hand onto your Bench: it "allows you to look at the top four cards of your deck and attach a Basic Energy to Mega Rayquaza ex." Its attack, Storm Emerald, "does 50 damage for each Fire Energy and each Lightning Energy attached to all your Pokémon," according to Pokémon's preview.
The Japanese Mega Rayquaza ex is already the top card
Delta Reign "largely draws cards from the Japanese set Storm Emeralda," according to TCGplayer. In M6: Storm Emeralda, the two most valuable cards are both Mega Rayquaza ex:
| Japanese card (Storm Emeralda) | Market price, October 30, 2026 | In CAD |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Rayquaza ex 113/076, Mega Ultra Rare (gold) | $747.33 USD | about $1,043 |
| Mega Rayquaza ex 110/076, Special Art Rare (same art as the English SIR) | $235.67 USD | about $329 |
| Mega Rayquaza ex 095/076, Super Rare | $32.70 USD | about $46 |
The Japanese price is a reference point, not a forecast. English and Japanese versions of the same card often sell far apart, in either direction, because print runs and buyers differ. The English card has no real sales before November 6.
The gold Mega Hyper Rare
Card catalogues already list a gold Mega Rayquaza ex 141/103 in English. The Pokémon Company had not shown it when this article was published. In Storm Emeralda, the Japanese gold version is worth about three times the Special Art Rare, but the English one is not following that so far: on November 2, 2026 it was listed from $449.95 USD, below the $520 asked for this Special Illustration Rare. Our Delta Reign guide has the current prices.

Should you preorder or wait for the single?
The odds of pulling this Special Illustration Rare are not published yet, so nobody can say yet how many booster boxes it takes. If you want this one card, buying the single after release is the only sure way to get it. Sealed product at today's preorder prices costs well above what TCGplayer lists as suggested retail (for example $49.99 USD for the Elite Trainer Box, against $106.35 USD on the market). Prices for both singles and sealed are usually most volatile in the first two weeks after release.
