Delta Herrschaft Pokemon (Delta Reign)
Delta-Herrschaft - the German name for Delta Reign - is the sixth Mega Evolution expansion of the Pokemon TCG, headlined by Mega Rayquaza ex. It releases November 6, 2026 in German and English on the same day.
Same set, two names: Delta-Herrschaft is simply the German edition of Delta Reign - identical cards, identical release date. Card prices and pulls line up from day one, so German and English set lists are interchangeable.
