The latest set for the Mega era of Pokémon is here. With Mega Rayquaza ex as the set’s star, and many more popular Pokémon for fans to collect, it’s a set we’re very excited to get into. Which cards are the most sought after, and therefore the most valuable? Let’s find out, as we check out the most popular Pokémon cards in the Delta Reign set!
10. Growlithe – Illustration Rare, 106/103
One of the original 151 Pokémon, Growlithe is a popular choice for many fans. Growlithe is a fire type Pokémon, shown here looking very domesticated indeed. This Illustration Rare card is adorable, and we’re not surprised to see it on the list of the most valuable Delta Reign cards!
9. Groudon – Illustration Rare, 111/103
This Groudon card is much more dramatic than the Growlithe, shown amidst a volcanic flow of lava. Legendary Pokémon Groudon is the mascot of Pokémon Ruby, one of the third generation Pokémon games alongside Sapphire and Emerald. It’s worth noting that currently, Delta Reign cards are mostly quite affordable. Despite being on the most valuable Delta Reign cards list, Groudon won’t break the bank.
8. Mega Golisopod ex – Special Illustration Rare, 135/103
A much later addition to the Pokédex, Golisopod hails from the seventh generation of Pokémon games. Mega Golisopod is an even newer addition, having debuted in the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. It’s the first Special Illustration Rare card on this list, and these tend to have a much more action-packed feel than the sedate Illustration Rare cards.
7. Kecleon – Illustration Rare, 117/103
This Kecleon card, another Illustration Rare, is pretty spectacular. Featuring Kecleon truly letting itself go and enjoying the environment, it’s a beautifully colored, gorgeously stylized card. We’d go so far as to say that it’s our favorite card in Delta Reign overall, though there are of course more valuable cards still to come!
6. Eevee – Illustration Rare, 114/103
If you’re going to go on a hike with a Pokémon, why not take one of the cutest and most popular of them all? Since debuting in the very first Pokémon video games, Eevee has always been a popular choice for fans, especially as this Pokémon has a unique series of evolutionary forms. It doesn’t surprise us to see this adorable card on the list of the most valuable cards in Delta Reign.
5. Mega Golurk ex – Special Illustration Rare, 137/103
Just like Golisopod, Golurk has been around for some time, but its Mega evolution form was only introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Golurk debuted in fifth generation games, Pokémon Black and White, and appears here in Special Illustration form.
4. Zinnia’s Trust – Special Illustration Rare, 140/103
It’s not a most valuable Pokémon cards list without at least one Trainer, and here we have Zinnia. First appearing in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Zinnia uses Dragon type Pokémon, which she can Mega Evolve using her Mega Anklet, which you can see in this card’s art.
3. Raikou ex – Special Illustration Rare, 136/103
Raikou was introduced in the second generation of Pokémon games. One of the legendary beasts resurrected by Ho-Oh, Raikou is an Electric-type Pokémon, and features here on an appropriately electrifying card.
2. Mega Rayquaza ex – Mega Hyper Rare, 141/103
Remember when we said that Mega Rayquaza was the star of the Delta Reign set? Here’s Mega Rayqyaza ex’s Mega Hyper Rare card. It’s much more spectacular in person, with a textured, layered gold foil treatment. Though technically one of the rarest cards in the Delta Reign set, it isn’t quite the most valuable, as you’ll see shortly!
1. Mega Rayquaza ex – Special Illustration Rare, 138/103
Here we have the most valuable card in Delta Reign overall, and it’s Mega Rayquaza ex’s Special Illustration Rare variant. Though it’s theoretically easier to find than the Mega Hyper Rare, the beautiful artwork makes this more desirable for fans, who’ve pushed its value up to make it the very top of the list of the most valuable Delta Reign Pokémon cards!
