First Secret Rare Cards Revealed for Delta Reign
While we may already be getting too many spoilers for Pokémon 30th Celebration, we know relatively little about the other big Pokémon TCG set coming out later this year: the Rayquaza-themed Delta Reign.
However, the entire main set list did come out a few days ago, giving us a pretty solid idea for what the majority of the set will look like when it releases on November 6, 2026.
Still, as cool as it is to see the main set list for Delta Reign (and some of these cards really are cool), the big question remaining is: what will the secret rare cards look like?
Luckily, the first secret rare cards for Storm Emeralda (the Japanese sister set to Delta Reign) have been revealed. With the set releasing in Japan on July 31, 2026 (this Friday), you can bet we’ll only be getting even more secret rare spoilers as they come out during the rest of the week leading up to the big release.
Groudon – Illustration Rare

Fighting - HP150 Basic Pokémon [F][C] Strength: 40 damage. [F][F][C] Savage Ground: 100+ damage. If there is a Stadium in play with "Legendary" in its name, this attack deals 170 additional damage. Weakness: Grass (x2) Resistance: None Retreat: 4
First up we have the Groudon Illustration Rare. Already, people are comparing this Groudon Illustration Rare to the Groudon Illustration Rare card found in Paradox Rift: a card that’s done incredibly well in value on the secondary card market to date.

Growlithe Illustration Rare
The other Illustration Rare is this cute Growlithe IR. While maybe not as hyped as the Groudon (it doesn’t have the same comparatively legendary card), it’s still a cute-enough card that plenty will want to collect.
Stay tuned for more spoilers from Storm Emeralda and Delta Reign as they roll out this week! And don’t forget to check out my Delta Reign card list for every card we think will be in November’s massive release.
