Pokémon TCG November 2026: Delta Reign and 30th Celebration UK prices

In November 2026 Pokémon TCG lands two big releases at once: the new expansion Mega Evolution: Delta Reign, led by Mega Rayquaza ex, and the final wave of the 30th Celebration anniversary line. Both arrive on 6 November 2026, and in the UK the Mega Forces Tin follows on 13 November. Asmodee UK, the UK distributor, gives an RRP of £49.99 for the Delta Reign Elite Trainer Box, £24.99 for the Booster Bundle and £4.29 for a single booster pack, while the 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection sits at an indicative £182.99. Buying at those prices is close to a miracle right now, though: most shops, the big chains included, either charge more or have already sold out.

The key points

• Delta Reign: out on 6 November 2026, more than 135 cards, with Mega Rayquaza ex as the headline

• 30th Celebration: on 6 November 2026 the Ultra-Premium Collection (Day and Night), the Ditto Premium Collection and the Mew and Mewtwo Figure Collections are released

• Mega Forces Tin: 13 November 2026 in the UK, according to Asmodee UK

• Delta Reign Prerelease: from 24 October to 1 November at participating game stores

• UK RRP (Asmodee UK): booster pack £4.29, 3-Pack Blister £13.99, Booster Bundle £24.99, Elite Trainer Box £49.99

• Indicative 30th Celebration prices: Ultra-Premium Collection £182.99, Ditto Premium Collection £39.99, Mew or Mewtwo Figure Collection £29.99 (no UK RRP published yet)

• Shop reality: Pokémon Center UK has been sold out since 1 October, and at The Game Collection every Delta Reign pre-order is marked Sold out

• Closest to RRP: the Delta Reign Booster Box, which in Poland was only 5.9 per cent above the suggested price

• Lesson from September: with 30th Celebration, launch day pushed the cheapest ETB price up rather than down

What is coming out in November 2026

November is one of the busiest months of the year for Pokémon TCG. Across the UK and the rest of Europe, the shelves are getting:

1. Mega Evolution: Delta Reign (6 November 2026), the sixth English-language expansion in the Mega Evolution series

2. 30th Celebration, the premium wave (6 November 2026): Ultra-Premium Collection Day and Night, Ditto Premium Collection, Mew Figure Collection and Mewtwo Figure Collection

3. Delta Reign Build & Battle Box, the prerelease kit, sold through game stores from 24 October

4. Mega Forces Tin (13 November 2026 in the UK): four booster packs and a foil promo card, a genuine November release here according to Asmodee UK

In Japan another Mega expansion arrives on 27 November, but that is a Japanese-language release and will not reach UK shops in that form.

Delta Reign: what this expansion is about

Delta Reign is the sixth main expansion of the Mega Evolution era. Its Japanese counterpart is Storm Emeralda, released on 31 July 2026. The Pokémon Company promises more than 135 cards, including over 20 Trainer cards and over 35 cards with special illustrations.

The four Mega Pokémon ex in the set are:

• Mega Rayquaza ex, the star of the expansion, back in Pokémon TCG for the first time since XY: Ancient Origins

• Mega Golurk ex

• Mega Malamar ex

• Mega Golisopod ex

Each one gets its own booster artwork, so there are four pack designs on sale. Collectors who keep sealed packs tend to buy them as a set of all four.

Among the cards The Pokémon Company has already shown, Heat Rotom ex, Groudon, Kommo-o, Delibird and the Trainer card Zinnia's Trust stand out. The most sought-after card looks set to be Mega Rayquaza ex as a Special Illustration Rare. Its Japanese equivalent from Storm Emeralda is one of the most expensive cards of that set on the secondary market, although that is the price of the Japanese version, not a forecast for the English one.

Legendary Stadium: the new mechanic

Delta Reign introduces the Legendary Stadium, a Stadium card made up of two cards. The two halves form one extended illustration. According to the announcement, the set includes six of these cards, which combine into three Legendary Stadiums, and packs containing a Legendary Stadium are meant to include both halves you need.

An example: Legendary Pyroduct. While it is in play, both players' Evolution Pokémon have no Abilities. That is a strong effect that could reshape deck building in the tournament format.

Delta Reign products and what is inside

The product line is typical for a Mega Evolution expansion:

• Booster pack: 10 cards, a basic Energy card and a Pokémon TCG Live code card

• Sleeved booster: the same contents in a paper sleeve

• 3-Pack Blister: three booster packs and a foil Seel promo card

• Checklane Blister: one booster pack and a Spritzee promo card

• Premium Checklane: Ampharos and Delphox versions

• Booster Bundle: six booster packs, no extras

• Elite Trainer Box: nine booster packs, a full-art foil Kyogre promo, 65 Mega Rayquaza sleeves, Energy cards, dice, a marker, a player's guide and a storage box

• Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box: the Pokémon Center UK exclusive, more on that below

• Booster Box (display): 36 booster packs across the four artworks

• Build & Battle Box: the prerelease kit

Standard Elite Trainer Box and the Pokémon Center version

The standard Elite Trainer Box has nine booster packs and the Kyogre promo as an Illustration Rare. That card is not in booster packs, so the ETB is the only way to get it without going to the secondary market.

The Pokémon Center version has 11 booster packs instead of nine, plus a second Kyogre card stamped with the Pokémon Center logo alongside the regular one. When we checked Pokémon Center UK on 16 October, it was listed at £56.99, limited to 1 per customer, and had been shown as Sold Out since 1 October. On the German Pokémon Center the pre-order for this version sold out within minutes, so if you missed it in the UK, expect to see it only from resellers and with a hefty mark-up.

Prerelease and the Build & Battle Box

The Delta Reign Prerelease runs from 24 October to 1 November 2026 at participating game stores. You play with a deck built from a Build & Battle Box.

Each Build & Battle Box contains four Delta Reign booster packs, a ready-made 40-card deck with cards from the new and earlier expansions, and one of four holographic promo cards. Asmodee UK has not published an RRP for it, so if you want to play before launch, ask your local game store whether it is running an event and what the entry fee is.

30th Celebration: the final wave on 6 November

The 30th Celebration anniversary line started on 16 September 2026 and its products are arriving in waves. On 6 November 2026 the most expensive part of the line goes on sale:

• Ultra-Premium Collection Day: 29 30th Celebration booster packs, one Classic Collection pack with three cards, a Pikachu ex card in the new Futuristic Rare rarity, an Espeon ex card, a playmat, sleeves and a deck box

• Ultra-Premium Collection Night: the same contents, but with Umbreon ex instead of Espeon ex

• Ditto Premium Collection: an acrylic display, a Ditto promo card and eight booster packs

• Mew Figure Collection and Mewtwo Figure Collection: a figure, a promo card, a jumbo card and five booster packs

30th Celebration has no standard Booster Box. The Ultra-Premium Collection, with 30 packs, is the product with the most packs in the whole line.

Indicative prices

The prices below are an indicative price level, converted from the suggested price list of the Polish distributor at the National Bank of Poland average exchange rate of 20 October 2026. They are not UK RRPs, so local suggested prices in the UK can differ by a few pounds:

• Booster pack: £3.99

• Booster Bundle: £24.99

• Elite Trainer Box: £44.99

• Booster Box (36 packs): £144.99

• Ultra-Premium Collection Day: £182.99

• Ultra-Premium Collection Night: £182.99

• Ditto Premium Collection: £39.99

• Mew Figure Collection: £29.99

• Mewtwo Figure Collection: £29.99

Locally confirmed prices

In the UK the reference point is the RRP from Asmodee UK, the official distributor. These figures were read on 28 September 2026 and quoted by StockWatch on 16 October:

• Elite Trainer Box: £49.99

• Booster Bundle: £24.99

• 3-Pack Blister: £13.99

• Premium Checklane: £6.99

• Booster pack: £4.29

Asmodee UK does not give an RRP for the Pokémon Center ETB, the Build & Battle Box or the Booster Box.

Pokémon Center UK, checked on 16 October: Pokémon Center ETB £56.99 (11 booster packs), Booster Bundle £25.99, Booster Display Box £151.99, limit 1 per customer, Sold Out since 1 October.

Smyths, checked on 16 October: ETB £49.99, Booster Bundle £24.99, 3 Pack £13.99, booster pack £4.29, "Limited to 1 per customer", not yet available to order, with an availability date of 6 November 2026.

30th Celebration premium wave: no UK RRP has been published, so there is no confirmed price in pounds for these products.

What these products really cost in shops

Suggested prices are one thing, the shelf is another. Finding these products at RRP is close to a miracle today: most shops, the big chains included, sell above it or will not sell to you at all. Smyths shows RRP but cannot take orders yet, and Pokémon Center UK charges more than RRP and is sold out. Here is what we found:

• The Game Collection (checked 20 October 2026): ETB £49.95, Booster Box £154.95, Booster Bundle £24.95, 3 Pack Blister £13.95, Premium Checklane £6.95. These are right at RRP, but every pre-order is marked Sold out

• Bay Games (checked 16 October): ETB pre-order at £62.49, which is £12.50 above RRP

• Dice Cup Cafe (checked 16 October): Booster Box pre-order at £180.00, for league members only

The Polish market shows where this tends to go. On 11 October 2026 the cheapest offers in Poland were well above the suggested price:

• Delta Reign Elite Trainer Box: 48 per cent above

• Delta Reign Booster Box: 5.9 per cent above

• Ultra-Premium Collection Day: 68 per cent above

• Ultra-Premium Collection Night: 82 per cent above

• Ditto Premium Collection: 69 per cent above

• Mew and Mewtwo Figure Collection: 56 per cent above

Those were the cheapest offers in the whole country, not the typical ones.

Why launch day will not bring prices down

The closest precedent is the first 30th Celebration wave. In Poland the lowest price for the 30th Celebration ETB rose on launch day, 16 September, and rose again by 28 September. It only dropped on 3 October, and even then it stayed above the pre-order level.

My conclusion: if November follows the September script, deliveries after 6 November will not bring the lowest prices down, and in the first few days they may even push them up. That is a hypothesis, not a measurement.

Booster Box versus ETB: which is better value

At the indicative prices, the cost per booster pack looks like this (my own calculation, rounded to the penny):

• Booster Box: £144.99 for 36 packs, which is £4.03 per pack

• Booster Bundle: £24.99 for 6 packs, which is £4.17 per pack

• Elite Trainer Box: £44.99 for 9 packs, which is £5.00 per pack, but with the Kyogre promo, sleeves and accessories

At real UK shop prices the gap stays similar. The Game Collection's Booster Box at £154.95 works out at £4.30 per pack, roughly the RRP of a single pack, while its ETB at £49.95 comes to £5.55 per pack. Bay Games' ETB at £62.49 means £6.94 per pack.

The counterintuitive conclusion: right now the cheapest way to open Delta Reign packs is the biggest and most expensive product, the Booster Box. In Poland its lowest price was the closest to the suggested price of all the November products. The ETB is mainly worth it if you want the Kyogre card or the accessories.

Ultra-Premium Collection: is it a good price per pack

The Ultra-Premium Collection at an indicative £182.99 gives you 30 packs, which is about £6.10 per pack (my own calculation). You are also paying for the playmat, sleeves, deck box and three promo cards, including Pikachu ex in the new rarity.

In Poland the cheapest Ultra-Premium Collection Day sat 68 per cent above the suggested price on 11 October, so per pack it was far more expensive than a Booster Box. If you just want to open 30th Celebration packs, the smaller products in the line may work out cheaper per pack at current market prices: the Ditto Premium Collection comes to £5.00 per pack and the Mew or Mewtwo Figure Collection to £6.00 at indicative prices. Check before you buy, because prices change every day.

Where to buy in the UK

Delta Reign: The Game Collection, a Soleback partner shop, has confirmed listings for the Delta Reign products, but as of 20 October 2026 every pre-order there is marked Sold out. Keep an eye on the pages in case stock comes back:

• Elite Trainer Box at The Game Collection

• Booster Box at The Game Collection

• Booster Bundle at The Game Collection

• 3 Pack Blister at The Game Collection

• Premium Checklane at The Game Collection

30th Celebration: as of 20 October 2026, no Soleback partner shop in the UK had confirmed listings for the 30th Celebration premium wave.

Before you click "buy", compare the price with the RRP in this article. Pre-order prices vary from shop to shop by more than £10 on a single ETB.

How not to overpay

• Know the RRP: £49.99 for the ETB and £24.99 for the Booster Bundle are your reference points. Anything above that is the shop's margin

• Do not panic-buy on launch day: in September the lowest prices went up on launch day, not down

• Set a price alert: track the lowest price and react to the occasional cheaper offer, which can sell out within minutes

• Consider a Booster Box instead of an ETB if all you want is to open packs

• Shop with cashback: through Soleback you get part of your spend back at more than 710 partner shops, up to 14 per cent depending on the shop. Remember that a discount code from outside Soleback can block your cashback

You will find current deals on the Soleback promotions page and discount codes in the coupons section.

What to do depending on your situation

• You want to open Delta Reign packs as cheaply as possible: go for the Booster Box, which works out at around £4.03 to £4.30 per pack

• You want the Kyogre card: buy the Elite Trainer Box, but aim for the £49.99 RRP rather than paying £60 or more for a pre-order

• You want to play before launch: sign up for a prerelease at your local game store between 24 October and 1 November

• You are hunting the Ultra-Premium Collection: there is no UK RRP yet and the indicative price is £182.99. Set an alert and do not buy from the first seller you see

• You are buying a gift: the Mew or Mewtwo Figure Collection (indicative £29.99) is the cheapest way into 30th Celebration with a figure and a promo card

• You are buying from a big chain: check the shelf price against the RRP and the per-customer limit, because the big chains are not automatically cheaper

Check the Delta Reign listings at The Game Collection, and find current deals and cashback on the Soleback promotions page.
