Mega Evolution—Delta Reign releases in Australia on Friday 6 November 2026. Pokémon's official product showcase confirms the product contents; individual Australian shops determine their own prices, allocations and preorder conditions. This is a snapshot checked 31 October, not a promise that any shop has stock right now.

What is actually inside?

ProductOfficial pack countWho it suits
Booster Display Box36Opening packs in bulk, sharing or sealed collecting
Standard Elite Trainer Box9Cards, sleeves, accessories and Kyogre promo
Pokémon Center ETB11Special Pokémon Center-stamped Kyogre promo and premium sealed collection
Booster Bundle6Small pack-opening session
Build & Battle Box4 + 40-card deckPrerelease play and learning the set

The Build & Battle package includes one of four promo cards and a Pokémon TCG Live code. The Pokémon Center ETB isn't the same as an Australian mass-retail ETB.

Australian price history: comparison, not a live offer

CardWatch recorded earlier major-chain presale listings around A$299–306 for a 36-pack display, A$100–120 for a standard ETB and A$50–59 for a six-pack bundle, depending on chain and preorder period. Specialist shops have also listed much higher prices. That makes a A$320+ display neither automatically the cheapest nor necessarily in stock today. Compare the exact number of packs and delivery costs; a large discount off an inflated ticket price is not necessarily good value.

Where to check on release day

Compare listings and local click-and-collect for Kmart, BIG W, JB Hi-Fi, EB Games, Target and specialist TCG shops. Those links are store homepages, not verified live stock pages; search the exact Delta Reign product and compare quantities, postage and membership conditions.

Collectors: chase cards and pull rates

The set features Mega Rayquaza ex and new Legendary Stadium pairs. A booster box supplies 36 chances at cards, but does not guarantee any particular chase card. Official set material does not establish a universal pull rate for the rarest artwork. If one card is your goal, compare confirmed Australian sold single-card prices once real trading begins, rather than presuming a case will deliver it.

Dates to put in the calendar

Prereleases began 24 October at participating Play! Pokémon stores; Pokémon TCG Live gets the expansion 5 November; physical release is 6 November. Availability of Build & Battle products outside prerelease varies by shop. Check current Australian listings rather than treating an old preorder as guaranteed release-day supply.

See our set collector guide and booster box vs singles guide for deeper strategy.

Australian retailer check — 31 October, approximately 4:34 AM AEST

These are specific observed preorder listings, not today's guaranteed stock or a checkout quote. Refresh each merchant page before purchase, check limits, and include shipping or in-store pickup costs.

Store / sourceProductObserved AUD priceWhat to confirm
DexCompare (Hobby Kitz listing)36-pack displayA$319.99 · A$8.89/packIndependent price comparison; verify actual merchant checkout, shipping and allocation
Fortuna Collectibles36-pack displayA$320.00Page shows pre-order and a two-per-customer limit; check acceptance/availability at checkout
Mind Games36-pack displayA$349.00Preorder listed for 6 November; check whether your store must transfer stock

Difference between the listed A$319.99 and A$349.00 boxes: A$29.01 before delivery, for the same stated 36-pack quantity. Neither price guarantees any particular card. The live multi-product comparison also shows an observed ETB starting at A$179.95 and six-pack bundle at A$75.00 during this snapshot; those are not comparable to historical mass-retail presale prices without checking the seller, edition and availability.
