Raikou ex Wave Two, Yokohama Closed: Market Signals 2026-09-23

Today is a card-file and calendar cleanup day. English Delta Reign gets its second reveal wave, led by Raikou ex. Yokohama gets a completed Day 3 without an official winner sheet in hand. CN individual results hit the mini-program today. English 30th sealed tape is algorithm-only this morning. Do not invent completed hammers, Pokemon Center preorder asks, or a champion promo SKU.

[GamesRadar’s exclusive](https://www.gamesradar.com/tabletop-gaming/this-new-pokemon-card-from-delta-reign-is-shockingly-powerful-get-an-exclusive-first-look-here/) shows Raikou ex with a 200-damage attack that can lock it out of attacking next turn on tails, two Prize cards for the opponent on KO, and Thunder-Clad searching Energy on the first turn when going first. Street window is November 2026. That is a press exclusive, not a Japanese Storm Emeralda English reprint under the same number.

[NME](https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/pokemon-delta-reign-illustration-rare-card-pre-orders-centre-3970091) adds Pincurchin as an illustration rare and a standard print, and lists set counts: 6 ex, 4 Mega Evolution ex, 6 Stadium cards including Legendary Stadium pairs, 14 illustration rares, 17 ultra rares, and 6 special illustration rares. Named mega and support faces include Mega Rayquaza, Golurk, Malamar, and Golisopod. Calendar stamps matter more than early deck talk: prerelease tournaments begin October 24, TCG Live drop is November 5, street date is November 6, and Pokemon Center preorders are **not live yet**. This brief carries no PC ask.

[PokeBeach’s September 22 dump](https://www.pokebeach.com/2026/09/20-delta-reign-card-images-revealed) again pins the product math: English Delta Reign combines Japan’s July 31 Storm Emeralda set, 30 unique cards from the related MEGA Starter Decks, and leftover Gym promos such as Grisham. IGN / Double Kill covered Sprigatito, Floragato, and Meowscarada ex. The September 21 Pokemon.com / Pokemon.com UK first wave (Heat Rotom ex, Groudon, Kommo-o, Delibird, Zinnia’s Trust) still stands: November 6, more than 135 cards. Keep English November and Japanese July on separate rows.

Day 3 finished on September 22. A morning check of the [pokemon-card.com info index](https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/) still finds [005688](https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/005688.html) as the newest Yokohama official note: the September 21 clearance that Day 3 would proceed. No new official results page, champion card name, or winner promo code was found.

Community list site PokecaBook carries a Masters table dated 2026.09.22: champion ワタナベケイヨウ on メガドリュウズ, runner-up ニシカワハル on オーガポンバレット, and top four finishes for ドラパルトノココッチ and ヤドキング. That is a community list. It is not an official champion paper and not a promo SKU. Do not price a winner card from it, and do not invent a champion promo code.

[Pokemon China notice 23932](https://www.pokemon.cn/tcg/event/23932.html) still pins City League Season 4 batch-four events to September 25 through October 2. Team lottery notices were due September 22. **Individual lottery notices are due today, September 23, via the mini-program.** Signup is closed. A result notice is not fulfillment and not a new sealed SKU.

30th Celebration English sealed is on street day eight. pokemon-card.com info had no September 22 or 23 product posts at the morning check. PokeBeach’s freshest product-adjacent story is Delta Reign, not a new 30th SKU. The Mercari Japan sealed ban still has no lift story.

PriceCharting algorithm / ungraded prints opened this morning: regular [ETB](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/elite-trainer-box) about $173.38 (−$1.08 vs yesterday’s about $174.46), [Poster Collection](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/poster-collection) about $44.97, [Knock Out Collection](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/knock-out-collection) about $30.40 (+$0.42), [Sylveon ex Box](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/sylveon-ex-box) about $75.18 (−$0.55). Completed sale rows were JS-loaded and not reliably scraped, so this brief does not invent hammers. Historical shelf MSRP tags are unchanged (ETB $49.99 and so on). Algorithm print, completed row, and MSRP are three different tapes.

Delta Reign is still a preview file. Physical English copies are not due until November 6, so grading talk is premature. Log Raikou ex, Pincurchin IR, and the Sprigatito line by name and illustrator first; wait for English set numbers before talking pop. Yokohama should wait for an official result page. Community deck lists are not PSA catalog anchors. For 30th Celebration, keep English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese under their own numbers. Sealed algorithm prints say nothing about single-card condition.
