What's Inside the ME06 Elite Trainer Box
Every standard Pokémon TCG Elite Trainer Box follows a consistent contents template. Delta Reign ME06 holds to that pattern, confirmed across multiple pre-order seller listings and consistent with The Pokémon Company's ME06 product page.
| Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Delta Reign ME06 booster packs | 9 | 10 cards per pack; 90 cards total |
| Card sleeves | 65 | Enough for a full 60-card deck plus 5 spare; feature Delta Reign artwork |
| Energy cards | 45 | Standard mix of basic Energy types |
| Damage-counter dice | 6 | Standard competition-ready dice |
| Competition-legal coin | 1 | Flip coin for gameplay |
| Acrylic condition markers | 2 | Asleep/Confused/Poisoned/Burned markers |
| Player's guide to the set | 1 | Overview of Delta Reign cards and mechanics |
| Collector's storage box with dividers | 1 | Holds sleeved cards from the set |
The nine packs alone yield 90 random cards. The featured ex cards in Delta Reign include Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golurk ex, Mega Malamar ex, and Mega Golisopod ex. Mega Rayquaza ex is the set's Special Illustration Rare and the chase card.
Pre-Order Price and MSRP
Pre-order prices span a wide range depending on seller and wave allocation. The table below reflects observed prices on October 9, 2026.
| Seller | Price (USD) | Wave / Ship Date | Per Pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double Infinity Gaming (Wave 2) | $99.99 | Ships by January 31, 2027 | $11.11 |
| Double Infinity Gaming (Wave 1) | $109.99 | November 6, 2026 | $12.22 |
| Collector's Lane | $142.00 | November 2026 | $15.78 |
| Gemzy (with acrylic case) | $158.00 | Mid-November 2026 | $17.56 |
| PTC Collectibles | $180.00 | November 2026 | $20.00 |
The $80 spread between the Wave 2 floor and PTC Collectibles reflects the pre-order premium market. The floor price almost always settles toward MSRP once the product hits retail shelves.
For context: ME04 Chaos Rising settled at $69.99 after launch, and ME05 Pitch Black settled at $74.95. ME06 is the largest pre-order spread the Mega Evolution series has seen, driven by Mega Rayquaza ex SIR demand.
How the ETB Compares to the Other ME06 Formats
Delta Reign ships in three main retail formats. The ETB sits in the middle on both pack count and price.
| Format | Packs | Accessories | Floor Price (USD) | Per Pack (floor) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Booster Bundle | 6 | 1 promo card | $61.00 | $10.17 |
| Elite Trainer Box (ETB) | 9 | Sleeves, Energy, dice, coin, box | $99.99 (Wave 2) | $11.11 |
| Booster Box | 36 | None | $224.99 (Wave 2) | $6.25 |
The ETB's $11.11 per-pack rate looks higher than the Bundle's $10.17, but that comparison ignores the accessories. The 65-count sleeve set alone retails at $10 to $15 for tournament-grade sleeves. Subtract $12 from the ETB price and the effective per-pack cost drops to roughly $9.77, which is below the Bundle.
Put another way: if you would buy sleeves separately, the ETB gives you equivalent pack access plus those sleeves essentially for free, plus Energy cards, dice, a coin, and a storage box. The ETB is the better value for anyone who was going to buy a sleeve pack anyway.
The Booster Box is the right call if you want maximum pack volume. For a comparison between the ETB and the ME05 Pitch Black ETB, see the ME06 vs ME05 ETB breakdown.
Release Timeline
Delta Reign ME06 follows the same prerelease-then-launch structure as every recent Mega Evolution set.
| Date | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| July 24, 2026 | Japanese Storm Emeralda M6 launches (JP equivalent set) | Serebii |
| October 24, 2026 | LGS prereleases begin (Build & Battle kits, stamped promos) | Pokémon TCG Play! program |
| November 1, 2026 | LGS prerelease events close | Pokémon TCG Play! program |
| November 6, 2026 | English retail launch (ETB, Booster Box, Booster Bundle, blisters) | Multiple official seller listings |
| January 31, 2027 (est.) | Wave 2 pre-orders ship | Double Infinity Gaming listing |
The LGS prerelease window is the only way to open ME06 packs before November 6. Each participant at a prerelease event receives a Build & Battle kit: four booster packs plus a stamped promo card exclusive to the prerelease window.

Who the ETB Is For and Who Should Skip It
Buy the ETB if
You want to build a Delta Reign deck and need tournament-ready sleeves. The 65-count sleeve pack bundled with the ETB covers a full 60-card deck with five spares, and the Energy cards let you start building without a separate purchase. The storage box works as a day-one deck box.
Buy the ETB if you are buying as a gift
The ETB is the single-box format that works as a complete gift. It includes everything a new player needs to start playing, and the packaging photographs well. The Booster Box needs no introduction for serious collectors, but the ETB communicates "complete unboxing experience" to someone buying for a recipient.
Skip the ETB if pack volume is your goal
The Booster Box gives you 36 packs at $6.25 per pack floor (Wave 2). The ETB at 9 packs for $11.11 per pack is over 75% more expensive per pack. If your goal is maximizing Mega Rayquaza ex SIR hits, the Booster Box is the correct format.
Skip the ETB if you already have sleeves and accessories
A returning collector who already owns a sleeve set and damage counters gets no practical value from the accessory bundle. The Booster Bundle at $61 for six packs is the cleaner entry point in that case.
For a detailed look at how the formats stack up before November 6, the ME06 format pre-order guide covers all five sealed options side by side.
