Out in the UK since Friday 6 November 2026. Two days on, Smyths' booster packs, Elite Trainer Box and Booster Bundle were still out of stock at the store we check with no restock date, Amazon UK still sells by invitation, and Pokemon gives a Groudon promo card for £29.99 spent at Smyths, GAME, HMV and other UK shops until 31 December.

Delta Reign has been out in the UK since Friday 6 November 2026, according to Pokemon, and two days on the big shops have not restocked it. Asmodee UK, the UK distributor, gives these RRPs: £49.99 for the Elite Trainer Box, £24.99 for the Booster Bundle, £13.99 for the 3-Pack Blister, £6.99 for the Premium Checklane and £4.29 a booster pack. This morning, Sunday 8 November, Smyths' booster pack, Elite Trainer Box and Booster Bundle were all out of stock at its Northampton store. The booster pack and Booster Bundle pages say "Temporarily out of stock, check back soon" and the Elite Trainer Box says "To be confirmed 2026", so Smyths has given no restock date. It shows stock store by store, so check your own branch on the page. Pokemon Center UK's three Delta Reign listings still say Sold Out, Argos still finds nothing for the set, and Amazon UK's Elite Trainer Box (£44.99), Booster Bundle (£23.94), Triple Pack (£12.99) and 18-pack Booster Display (£71.82) are still sold by invitation. Pokemon has added a release promo: it says that until 31 December, if you spend £29.99 or more on Pokemon TCG products at Smyths, The Entertainer, GAME, HMV, Waterstones or another shop on its list, you get a Groudon promo card, in store or online, while stocks last. If you have a Pokemon Center UK pre-order, its ship dates page says "Mid November 2026", and its notice gives anyone it emailed on or after 5 November about their payment method until 23:59 GMT on Wednesday 11 November to update it.

Pre-orders are mostly over now the set is out. Amazon UK is the one big chain still taking requests: on 8 November its Elite Trainer Box (£44.99), Booster Bundle (£23.94) and Triple Pack (£12.99) were still sold by invitation, along with an 18-pack Booster Display (£71.82) that appeared after release, and it says it cannot grant them all. Pokemon Center UK's three listings have read Sold Out since 1 October, and the orders it did take now ship mid November (more on that below). Total Cards took booster pack pre-orders at £5.95, £1.66 over RRP and only once you had logged in, on 27 and 28 October, and on 29 October its page said sold out online and pickup only. Its Elite Trainer Box was £69.95 on 3 November, in-store pickup only too. Smyths never took pre-orders. It sells in store, and on release day only its booster packs showed stock at the store we checked. The next morning its Elite Trainer Box and Booster Bundle were still out of stock there, and by the afternoon the booster packs had gone too. On 8 November all three were still out of stock there, with no restock date on their pages. Argos still lists nothing. Chaos Cards sells the range as product drops, and on 6 November its Elite Trainer Box (£49.99), booster box (£154.44), Booster Bundle and 3 Pack all read "Out of stock". A few independents have pages up. Dice Cup Cafe took booster box pre-orders at £180.00 from its league members, and Bay Games listed the Elite Trainer Box at £62.49, well over RRP, so check a price against the RRPs below before you pay. Each shop sells it its own way, so it pays to know which system you are up against.
| Shop | What its page says | How it sells scarce stock |
|---|---|---|
| Pokemon Center UK | Elite Trainer Box £56.99, Booster Bundle £25.99, Booster Display Box £151.99, "Purchase limit of 1". All Sold Out on 8 November. Its ship dates page has said "Mid November 2026" since 5 November.

| Smyths | Four products at RRP: Elite Trainer Box £49.99, Booster Bundle £24.99, 3 Pack £13.99 and booster pack £4.29. No home delivery on 6 November. At Northampton the booster pack showed "15+ In Stock", in store only, "Limited to 5 per customer". The Elite Trainer Box and 3 Pack said "To be confirmed 2026" there, and the Booster Bundle "Temporarily out of stock, check back soon". The Elite Trainer Box and Booster Bundle read the same on 7 November, with no delivery, and by that afternoon the booster pack said "Out of stock at Northampton" and "Temporarily out of stock, check back soon". On 8 November the booster pack, Elite Trainer Box and Booster Bundle were all still out of stock at Northampton, with no restock date given | In store. One per customer, five on booster packs |
| Argos | No Delta Reign products on 8 November. A search for the set finds no results | Nothing published |
| Amazon UK | Elite Trainer Box £44.99, Booster Bundle £23.94 and Triple Pack £12.99, all shipped and sold by Amazon and still sold by invitation on 8 November. An 18-pack Booster Display at £71.82 appeared after release, also by invitation. "High-demand item with limited quantities. We won't be able to grant all requests" | Request an invitation. Not every request is granted |
| Total Cards | Booster pack £5.95: "Pre-Order" on 27 October, "Sold out" online and "Pickup Only" on 29 October. Elite Trainer Box £69.95, "Pickup Only", sold out online. The other seven sealed products "Coming Soon". All say "Releases on 6 November, 2026" | Random draw from everyone who registers |
| Chaos Cards | Elite Trainer Box £49.99, booster box £154.44, Booster Bundle £24.99 and 3 Pack £13.99, each tagged "Product drop" and "Out of stock" on 6 November, where they said "Coming soon" on 3 November. The booster box still said "Out of stock" on 7 November. Delta Reign singles on sale | Product drop |
| Magic Madhouse | Seven products listed (Elite Trainer Box £49.99, maximum order 1; Booster Bundle £24.99), all out of stock on 3 November. Drop email "between 29th October - 4th November", maximum order of 12 booster packs | Invite email |
| Zatu | Seven sealed products listed (Elite Trainer Box £49.99), "Expected Release Date: 06/11/2026". The Elite Trainer Box still could not be ordered on 16 October. Prerelease event tickets at £25 for 24 and 25 October. The 30 October event has sold out | "Notify Me When Available" button |

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. Zatu followed on 29 September with seven sealed products, none of which could be ordered. Its 30 October prerelease, a room of 10 players, had sold out by 12 October, while its 24 and 25 October tickets were £25 with 20 places each. 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.
In store only, and by the afternoon of 7 November the store we check was out of booster packs too: its booster pack page said "Out of stock at Northampton" and "Temporarily out of stock, check back soon". It still did on the morning of 8 November, and none of the three pages gives a restock date. On the evening of 6 November, release day, Smyths' booster pack page showed "15+ In Stock at Northampton" and "Available to purchase in-store", at £4.29 and "Limited to 5 per customer", up from one. Home delivery was greyed out. The Elite Trainer Box (£49.99) and the 3 Pack (£13.99) said "Expected in stock: To be confirmed 2026" at the same store, and the Booster Bundle (£24.99) said "Temporarily out of stock, check back soon". The Elite Trainer Box and Booster Bundle are still one per customer. From 16 October the Elite Trainer Box, Booster Bundle and booster pack pages had all said "Expected in stock: 06 November 2026", and none of the four ever took a pre-order. Stock is shown per store, so pick your own store on the page before you travel. The booster pack was the last of the four to appear, on 10 October, and its page says "18 possible booster packs (each sold separately)".
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. Pokemon's November round-up gives the Build & Battle Box 20 November, two weeks after the set. 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, has read Sold Out since 1 October, and now ships "Mid November 2026". 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, and Delta Reign's has. Pokemon Center UK's estimated ship dates page now gives "Mid November 2026" for its Delta Reign Elite Trainer Box, Booster Bundle and Booster Display Box, in the UK as well as the US and Canada. It said early November before the 5 November edit. Its exclusive 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box was delayed on release day too. What the Pokemon Center delay means for your order covers what to do with one.
Pokemon Center checks your card twice for a pre-order. It places a hold when you order, and its pre-order FAQ says "a reauthorization will appear 3-5 business days prior to shipping" to make sure the card is still valid. It only takes the money when the order ships. On 29 October Pokemon Center UK posted a notice that it was "investigating an issue with the payment reauthorisation process for Delta Reign TCG orders". It first added that some UK orders may take longer than usual to process, dispatch and deliver, then took that line out on 3 November. On 5 November it replaced the notice. It now says: "If you received an email on or after November 5 regarding updating your payment method for a Delta Reign TCG preorder, you have until November 11, 2026 23:59 GMT to do so." So if Pokemon Center has emailed you about your card, update it before 23:59 GMT on Wednesday 11 November. The FAQ also says an order may be cancelled if the card is not valid at the time of shipment, so keep the card you ordered with open and in funds until your box ships, which Pokemon Center now puts at mid November. If an order is cancelled, there is nothing left to buy there: its three Delta Reign listings still read Sold Out on 6 November.
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, sold £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 today, 30 October, had sold out by 12 October. Dice Cup Cafe sold £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.
Register where shops use draws or invites
Total Cards picks at random from everyone who registers for scarce stock, and Magic Madhouse emails invites. Neither rewards being fast on the day. Total Cards' booster pack pre-order was the exception: a normal pre-order for account holders, and by 29 October it had sold out online. Amazon UK's Delta Reign pre-orders work by request too, and Amazon says it cannot grant every one.
Set an alert for the Pokemon Center queue
Its first pre-orders have read Sold Out since 1 October, so an alert is the way to hear the moment its queue goes up again.
Watch the product pages you care about
A monitor on a shop's product page tells you the moment it changes from out of stock to in stock.
Check the limit before you pay
Smyths limits the Elite Trainer Box and Booster Bundle to one per customer and single booster packs to five. Magic Madhouse caps the booster pack at 12 per order, and Total Cards shows a maximum per customer on each product.

Friday 6 November 2026, so it is out now. Pokemon's UK site and Asmodee UK, the UK distributor, both give that date.
Only at Amazon UK, by invitation. On 8 November its Elite Trainer Box (£44.99), Booster Bundle (£23.94), Triple Pack (£12.99) and 18-pack Booster Display (£71.82) were all sold by invitation, and Amazon says it cannot grant every request. Pokemon Center UK's three pre-orders have read Sold Out since 1 October and now ship mid November. Smyths never took pre-orders and sells in store: on the evening of 6 November its booster packs showed in stock at its Northampton store, five per customer, and by the afternoon of 7 November its booster packs, Elite Trainer Box and Booster Bundle were all out of stock there, and still were on 8 November. Argos had no listing. Total Cards' booster pack pre-orders sold out online by 29 October, and Chaos Cards' Elite Trainer Box and booster box drops read "Out of stock" after release.
Yes, a Groudon promo with the Pokemon 30 logo. Pokemon says you get one when you spend £29.99 or more on Pokemon TCG products between 6 November and 31 December 2026 at Smyths Toys, Art & Hobby, The Entertainer, GAME, Ryman, TG Jones, Waterstones, Hobbycraft, WHS Travel, Circle K, Currys, Golden Discs, Ken Black, Easons, Hamleys, Miniso, Harrods, Selfridges, HMV, Forbidden Planet, and hobby and independent shops. It works in store and online while stocks last. Argos, Amazon and Pokemon Center are not on the list.
Pokemon Center UK said on 29 October that it was investigating an issue with the payment reauthorisation on Delta Reign orders, the card check it runs 3 to 5 business days before a pre-order ships. On 5 November it changed the notice: if it emailed you on or after 5 November about updating your payment method for a Delta Reign pre-order, you have until 23:59 GMT on 11 November to do it. Its ship dates page now says mid November for the three Delta Reign products.
£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.
