Out in the UK on 6 November 2026. Smyths lists four products at RRP, one per customer, and three of its pages expect stock on release day, but it takes no orders yet. Pokemon Center UK's three pre-orders still read Sold Out, and Argos lists nothing. Here is what each shop's page said on 16 October.
Delta Reign, the Pokemon TCG's next Mega Evolution expansion, is out in the UK on Friday 6 November 2026, according to Pokemon. Three weeks out, on Friday 16 October, none of the big UK shops is taking pre-orders. Smyths lists four products, all at RRP: the Elite Trainer Box at £49.99, the Booster Bundle at £24.99, a 3 Pack at £13.99 and single booster packs at £4.29. Each page says "Limited to 1 per customer", and the basket button and the delivery option are greyed out on all four. On 15 October only the booster pack page carried a date. This morning the Elite Trainer Box and Booster Bundle pages say "Expected in stock: 06 November 2026" too, for the store we looked at. Pokemon Center UK lists three pre-orders (its exclusive Elite Trainer Box at £56.99, the Booster Bundle at £25.99 and the Booster Display Box at £151.99) and all three read Sold Out, as they have since 1 October. Argos has no Delta Reign, and Amazon UK has Korean and Japanese imports and no English product. Chaos Cards lists eight products as product drops, all "Coming soon", and none of its drops has opened. Zatu's Elite Trainer Box still cannot be ordered. One independent, Dice Cup Cafe, is taking booster box pre-orders at £180.00, from members of its Pokemon league only. Prerelease events start at independent shops on 24 October, and one has already sold out: Zatu's 30 October event has no tickets left.

Not at the big shops yet. Pokemon Center UK has listed three, but they have read Sold Out since 1 October and still did on 16 October. Smyths lists four products at RRP and limits each to one per customer, but its pages will not take an order, and three of them now expect stock on release day. Amazon UK has no English product, and Argos listed nothing on 16 October. Chaos Cards lists the range as product drops, and none has opened. A few independents have pages up. Dice Cup Cafe is taking booster box pre-orders at £180.00 from its league members, and Bay Games lists the Elite Trainer Box at £62.49, well over RRP, so check a price against the RRPs below before you pay. The shops that have said anything each sell it their own way, so it pays to know which system you are up against.

Bay Games and Loaded Dice were the first UK shops we saw with Delta Reign pages, on 28 September, before Pokemon Center UK or Smyths listed anything. Total Cards spells out its draw: "our system will run a completely random selection process from everyone who entered." How the Total Cards lottery works covers the tags and limits, and how a Magic Madhouse drop works covers its invites. When UK shops open Pokemon pre-orders covers how far ahead the rest usually go.
No, not on 16 October. Smyths lists four Delta Reign products at RRP: the Elite Trainer Box at £49.99, the Booster Bundle at £24.99, the 3 Pack at £13.99 and single booster packs at £4.29. Every page says "Limited to 1 per customer". None of them will take an order, because the basket button and the home delivery option are greyed out, and none uses the word pre-order. Three of them, the Elite Trainer Box, the Booster Bundle and the booster pack, say "Expected in stock: 06 November 2026" for the store we looked at. The 3 Pack gives no date.
These are the recommended retail prices from Asmodee UK, which distributes the Pokemon TCG here. Every product page gives the same "Publisher Release Date: 06/11/2026". A price well above these is the shop's own mark-up.
| Product | UK RRP |
|---|---|
| Elite Trainer Box | £49.99 |
| Booster Bundle | £24.99 |
| 3-Pack Blister | £13.99 |
| Premium Checklane | £6.99 |
| Booster pack | £4.29 |
| Pokemon Center Elite Trainer Box | No Asmodee RRP. Pokemon Center UK sells it at £56.99 |
Asmodee UK does not list the Pokemon Center Elite Trainer Box, the Build and Battle Box, the half booster box or the standard Checklane, so none of those has a UK RRP. The US prices come from PokeGuardian's line-up post of 20 August. Our Delta Reign set page keeps the UK list up to date as prices are published.
Yes, and Pokemon Center UK now lists it at £56.99, against £49.99 RRP for the standard box. Its page says it holds 11 booster packs, a full-art foil Kyogre promo with a Pokemon Center logo and a second Kyogre promo without one, plus 65 sleeves and 40 Energy cards. It is limited to one per customer and has read Sold Out since 1 October. PokeGuardian lists it at $59.99 in the US. Every Elite Trainer Box includes a Kyogre illustration rare promo, according to Wargamer.
Pre-order ship dates can move. Pokemon Center UK's exclusive 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box was delayed on release day, and its estimated ship dates page now gives mid to late November for UK orders. What the Pokemon Center delay means for your order covers what to do with one.
Pokemon says the set has "over 135 cards, with more than 20 Trainer cards and over 35 cards with special illustrations". The headline cards are Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golurk ex, Mega Malamar ex and Mega Golisopod ex. Pokemon has also shown Heat Rotom ex, Groudon, Kommo-o, Delibird and Zinnia's Trust. Its preview of five more cards adds Hypno, Kecleon, Enamorus, Legendary Pyroduct and Aarune.
PokeGuardian counts 4 Mega Evolution Pokemon ex, 14 illustration rares, 17 ultra rares and 6 special illustration rares. It also says packs with a Legendary Stadium card "include both halves required to form this new feature". Pokemon has not published pull rates.
Mega Rayquaza ex's special illustration rare, going by early reports. KantoPost called it the leading chase card on 27 September. The Japanese version, from the Storm Emeralda set, has sold for £450 to £600 on UK eBay, KantoPost reported in August.
From 24 October 2026, at participating independent shops. That comes from Pokemon's press release, as reported by Bleeding Cool. Prerelease events are run by local game shops, so check your nearest one for dates and places. Zatu, for one, is selling £25 tickets for events at its Norwich site on 24 and 25 October, with room for 20 players at each. Its third event, for 10 players on 30 October, had sold out by 12 October. Dice Cup Cafe sells £25 tickets too, for seven sessions between 24 and 31 October.

£49.99 for the Elite Trainer Box and £24.99 for the Booster Bundle. Anything well above that is a mark-up.

Friday 6 November 2026. Pokemon's UK site and Asmodee UK, the UK distributor, both give that date.
Not at the big shops. Pokemon Center UK has listed three pre-orders (Elite Trainer Box £56.99, Booster Bundle £25.99, Booster Display Box £151.99, one per customer), but all three still read Sold Out on 16 October 2026. Smyths lists the Elite Trainer Box, the Booster Bundle, a 3 Pack and single booster packs at RRP, each limited to one per customer, but its pages would not take an order that day. Its Elite Trainer Box, Booster Bundle and booster pack pages say "Expected in stock: 06 November 2026" for the store we looked at. Amazon UK had no English product and Argos had no listing. Zatu and Magic Madhouse list the sealed range but nothing can be ordered, and Chaos Cards lists it as product drops that have not opened. Total Cards lists the range as coming soon, and Magic Madhouse will email drop invites between 29 October and 4 November.
£49.99 at UK RRP, according to Asmodee UK. Pokemon Center UK sells its exclusive version, with 11 packs, at £56.99.
Pokemon says over 135, with more than 20 Trainer cards and over 35 with special illustrations.
