Mega Rayquaza ex in Delta Reign: Which of the Three Cards Is Right for You?
By Dexhaul Team · September 7, 2026
Delta Reign (ME06) gives Mega Rayquaza ex three different cards at three radically different prices. The cheapest starts at $62. The most expensive is currently listed at $1,388.
That 22x spread within a single set is not a mistake. Each card is a genuinely distinct object with different art, different rarity, and different appeal to different collectors. This guide works through each one so you can make a deliberate choice rather than defaulting to whatever a search result surfaces first.
Why Mega Rayquaza, and Why ME06
Rayquaza has been Pokémon's sky sovereign since Generation III. It appeared on the cover of Pokémon Emerald, anchored the Hoenn Weather Trio storyline, and received its Mega Evolution in 2014's Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where Mega Rayquaza was so powerful it required its own restricted format ruling.
In the TCG, Mega Rayquaza EX had defining moments in the XY era. Roaring Skies (2015) and Ancient Origins (2015) both printed M Rayquaza EX Full Art cards that still trade at $354–467 today, years after rotation.
Then the SWSH era arrived and Mega Evolution mechanics were retired entirely. No Mega Rayquaza appeared in Sword and Shield or Scarlet and Violet.
Delta Reign is the first time Mega Rayquaza has received a dedicated TCG card in roughly a decade of real product time. The Japanese version of the set is called Storm Emeralda, a direct reference to Pokémon Emerald and the storm that surrounds Sky Pillar. For a card with that provenance, three variants at three price points is exactly what Mega Evolution collectors should expect.
The Entry Card: 095/076 at $62
The 095/076 is the accessible version.
At card number 095/076, it sits above the base set count of 76, placing it in the extended rarity tier above standard holos. The $62 price reflects that: it is a genuine secret-tier Mega Rayquaza ex card, not a common pull, but it is also the point where the art stays restrained and the foiling is conventional.
This is the card that makes sense if you want Mega Rayquaza represented in a binder without allocating three figures to a single slot. It is also the version most likely to drop in price once Delta Reign releases into wider distribution on November 6.
The Full Art: 110/076 at $521
The 110/076 is where the art direction changes entirely.
Full Art cards in the ME series use full-bleed illustration that extends to the card edge, with the character rendered at a scale that standard-size cards cannot accommodate. The 110/076 is listed at $521, putting it well inside the territory of meaningful single-card purchases rather than casual adds.
The comparison point is the XY-era M Rayquaza EX 105/108 Full Art from Roaring Skies, currently at $467. The ME06 Full Art is already priced higher than a decade-old card that has survived the entire modern era of Pokémon product. That gap reflects demand for the freshest Rayquaza card, not necessarily a statement about long-term value, and buyers should weigh that distinction.
The Elite Trainer Box at $109.95 is the standard opening format if you are pulling toward this tier. It carries the set sleeves, a coin, and enough packs to give you a realistic shot at a Full Art, though no pack-opening format comes with a guarantee. If the 110/076 is the card you want, buying singles from the current pre-release market is more direct than chasing it through boxes.
The Special Illustration Rare: 113/076 at $1,388
The 113/076 sits at the top of the ME06 rarity structure.
At card number 113/076, this is the highest-numbered Mega Rayquaza ex in the set and carries the Special Illustration Rare treatment: immersive, scene-based art that uses the card frame as part of the composition rather than a constraint around it. These are the cards that define a set visually, and they command prices to match.
The $1,388 pre-release ask is high by any standard. For context, ME05 Pitch Black's top SIR (Darkrai) settled around $230 post-release. The Mega Rayquaza name carries more weight than Darkrai in the collector market, and Rayquaza has a documented following that drives premiums above what pull odds alone would justify.
Whether the pre-release ask holds, drops after wider release, or climbs further is not something anyone can predict. What is certain: this is the only SIR-tier Mega Rayquaza ex card that will ever exist in ME06.
Who Each Card Is For
Three cards, three collectors.
The 095/076 at $62 fits the systematic collector who wants representation. You are building a set collection or a Rayquaza binder, and you need the ME06 chapter covered without a disproportionate spend on a single card. At $62, you can slot it and move on.
The 110/076 Full Art at $521 is for the collector whose binder is a gallery. This is the version where the art is the point, where the card earns its own display space, and where you are paying specifically for the illustration over the standard version.
The $521 vs $62 gap is $459 of art premium. That is only unreasonable if art is not what you came for.
The 113/076 SIR at $1,388 is a different commitment entirely. It is the version you buy when completeness at the highest tier matters more than price.
These are not casual purchases. Buy singles from sellers you can verify, and do not rush a four-figure decision.
The booster box at $230 is the opening format of choice if you want the full set experience. It does not guarantee any specific card at any rarity, but 36 packs covers a meaningful portion of the set. Collectors chasing any specific Mega Rayquaza ex variant should weigh buying singles against boxes: singles give you the card, boxes give you the set experience.
The Unique Position ME06 Creates
The last time Mega Rayquaza appeared on a dedicated TCG card was the XY era, which ended with the SWSH transition in 2019. That is roughly seven years without a new Mega Rayquaza print.
The XY Full Arts from Roaring Skies and Ancient Origins are still actively traded at $354–467, which is unusually strong for cards that have been out of rotation for years. That retention reflects genuine collector demand for the character, not nostalgia for the set.
ME06 does not cancel the XY cards. The 110/076 and 113/076 are the modern-era continuation of Mega Rayquaza's card legacy, with different art styles and different rarity systems.
Collectors who own the XY versions are not made redundant by ME06. They are made more complete by it: each version reflects a different moment in the franchise's history of putting Mega Rayquaza on cardboard.
