Delta Reign is playable today, November 5, in Pokemon TCG Live, one day before packs reach stores on Friday, November 6. That early digital start makes today the perfect day to learn the set before opening anything. Delta Reign is the final English expansion of 2026, and it shares its launch day with the 30th Celebration Ultra Premium Collections, so Canadian collectors have one big Friday to plan for.

Play It Today, Open It Tomorrow

Pokemon TCG Live adds the set today with a new battle pass, so you can test the four Mega Evolution Pokemon ex right away: Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golisopod ex, Mega Golurk ex and Mega Malamar ex. The set holds 141 cards, with 103 in the main set and 38 secret rares, including 14 Illustration Rares, 17 Ultra Rares and 6 Special Illustration Rares. It also brings the Legendary Stadiums, six Stadium cards that form three pairs, each pair joining into one wide scene. Prerelease players have had a taste since October 24 through Build and Battle Boxes and their four foil promos, Masquerain, Magmortar, Enamorus and Kommo-o, and tomorrow everyone else joins in.

Two Megas Worth Testing First

Mega Rayquaza ex will get most of the attention, so give the other Megas a look while prices and opinions are still forming. Mega Golurk ex, numbered 047 of 103 and illustrated by 5ban Graphics, is a Stage 1 Pokemon with 350 HP that evolves from Golett. Its Ability, Restricted Activation, says it cannot attack unless you have 10 or more cards in your hand, and its attack Goliath's Punch lands 300 damage while doing 30 damage to itself. Building a deck that keeps your hand full is the whole puzzle.

Mega Malamar ex, numbered 069 of 103 and also illustrated by 5ban Graphics, is a Stage 1 Pokemon with 320 HP that evolves from Inkay. Psychic Marionette does 70 damage for each of your opponent's Benched Pokemon, so it climbs fast against a full Bench, and Eerie Wave hits for 200 and leaves the opposing Active Pokemon Confused. Try both in Live today and you will know by Friday which one fits your binder and your deck.

Presale Prices Are Already Moving

Early prices show why a patient first week can pay off. The Special Illustration Rare Mega Rayquaza ex, numbered 138 of 103, sat at $650.00 USD [$907 CAD] on November 2 and at $389.28 USD [$543 CAD] by November 4, a swing that says far more about thin presale supply than about where the card will settle. Zinnia's Trust, the Special Illustration Rare Supporter at 140 of 103, sits at $74.94 USD [$105 CAD], and booster boxes show presale listings near $225.43 USD [$315 CAD]. Once opening weekend brings real supply and real sales, these numbers will move again.

One Friday, Two Big Launches in Canada

Tomorrow is also launch day for the 30th Celebration Ultra Premium Collections, in a Day version built around Espeon ex and a Night version built around Umbreon ex. Each box holds 29 booster packs and a Classic Collection pack, and each is listed at $179.99 USD [$251 CAD]. Stock will be tight on both launches, as it so often is, so a backup plan helps. Add the McDonald's Pokemon promos that started in Canada on November 3, and this is one of the fullest weeks of the year. My plan is simple: pick one main target for Friday, set a firm budget before you start, and enjoy the hunt.
