Pokémon TCG Delta Reign cards already previewed include Hypno DLR 44, Kecleon DLR 83 and Aarune DLR 139. Hypno’s damage depends on your opponent’s hand, Kecleon rewards different types of Pokémon in your hand, and Aarune searches for useful Trainer cards.

These are selected official card reveals, not the complete set checklist. With the physical expansion arriving on 6 November 2026, it’s worth looking at the exact numbers behind the attacks before deciding how the cards might fit into a deck.

The Pokémon TCG Delta Reign cards listed above are the examples in Pokémon’s preview. The table helps you find their printed numbers and effects, but plenty of other cards are included in the expansion.

Hypno DLR 44: Mind Ruler damage

Mind Ruler does 20 damage for each card in your opponent’s hand. Five cards in that hand means 100 damage; eight means 160, before any other modifiers are considered. You aren’t counting your own hand or the cards in your opponent’s deck.

The attack becomes more threatening when an opponent holds onto a large hand. If they play their cards before your turn, Mind Ruler loses damage.

Kecleon DLR 83: Colorful Whip explained

Kecleon lets you reveal any number of Pokémon from your hand. Its Colorful Whip attack deals 30 damage per different Pokémon type represented among those revealed cards. Showing several Pokémon of one type still counts as just one type.

The preview gives a theoretical maximum of 300 damage in Standard, covering ten types, and 330 in Expanded when Fairy-type Pokémon are also available. Reaching either number needs a hand with the required spread of types.

Kecleon’s theoretical maximum sounds enormous, but you need to hold all those different Pokémon types at the moment you attack. Your deck still needs to work between those turns.

Aarune DLR 139: Supporter and Stadium search

Aarune lets you search for up to three cards in any combination of Supporter and Stadium cards. That can mean two Stadiums and one Supporter, or another mix within the three-card limit.

Pokémon specifically connects this effect to Legendary Pyroduct, the new two-card Stadium. Finding both Stadium halves is more manageable with a search effect than relying entirely on drawing them at random.

What does Legendary Pyroduct do?

Legendary Pyroduct consists of cards DLR 94 and 95. While it is in play, both players’ Evolution Pokémon have no Abilities. Pokémon names Drakloak’s Recon Directive and Alakazam’s Psychic Draw as examples affected by that shutdown.

It’s worth comparing Pokémon TCG Delta Reign cards such as Aarune with Pyroduct because the Supporter can help you assemble the Stadium. The lock also affects your own Evolution Pokémon, so it isn’t automatically helpful in every deck.

Are these all the Pokémon TCG Delta Reign cards?

No. Pokémon’s product showcase says the set has over 135 cards. The preview also refers to more than 140; neither gives a reconciled exact numbered checklist here. The expansion is headlined by Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golurk ex, Mega Malamar ex and Mega Golisopod ex.

The preview is useful for understanding the cards’ effects, not predicting what a booster will contain. No individual card here is guaranteed in a random pack.

When can you play Pokémon TCG Delta Reign cards?

TCG Live receives the expansion at 5pm GMT on 5 November 2026. Physical products arrive the next day, 6 November, while prerelease tournaments began on 24 October at participating shops.

The Pokémon TCG Delta Reign cards covered here each reward a different plan: Hypno watches the opponent’s hand, Kecleon cares about type variety and Aarune finds Trainer cards. Our related Legendary Stadium guide covers the paired-card mechanic separately.
