Mega Rayquaza ex is getting nearly all the pre-release attention around Delta Reign, and for good reason, but it is not the only Mega Evolution debuting in the set. Three additional Pokemon are getting the Mega treatment alongside it: Golisopod, Golurk, and Malamar.
This particular combination has not appeared together in any earlier Mega Evolution set, giving Delta Reign its own distinct secondary roster within the block. None of the three is likely to challenge Rayquaza for top billing, but each carries its own dedicated collector interest.
For collectors planning a full Delta Reign master set, or simply curious about what else the set has to offer beyond its headliner, these three cards are worth understanding on their own terms.
Here is a closer look at each of Delta Reign's secondary Mega Evolutions.
Golisopod's Mega Evolution brings a Bug-type card into Delta Reign's featured lineup, giving the set a type of representation that has been less common among recent Mega Evolution headliners. Its inclusion rounds out the set's type diversity beyond Rayquaza's Dragon/Flying typing.
Collectors focused on Bug-type Pokemon specifically will find Mega Golisopod ex to be one of the more notable additions to that niche within the wider Mega Evolution block, even without headliner-level demand behind it.
Mega Golurk ex adds a Ground-type option to Delta Reign's roster, a typing that has shown up periodically across the Mega Evolution block without ever anchoring a set on its own. Golurk's inclusion here gives Ground-type deckbuilders a genuine option from a set otherwise built around Rayquaza.
As with Golisopod, Golurk's Mega treatment is unlikely to drive major secondary-market attention on its own, but it remains a real card worth watching for players building type-focused strategies once Delta Reign is tournament legal.
Mega Malamar ex completes Delta Reign's four-Mega lineup with a Dark-type entry, giving competitive players another option beyond the set's headline Dragon/Flying card. Dark-type strategies have had solid support across recent Mega Evolution sets, and Malamar's addition continues that trend.
Collectors building around Dark-type decks specifically should treat Mega Malamar ex as one of the more relevant secondary pulls in the set, even with Rayquaza dominating the broader conversation.
Nearly every Mega Evolution set has included secondary Mega Evolutions alongside its headliner, and Pitch Black's supporting cast of five additional Megas alongside Mega Darkrai ex is a useful recent comparison point. Delta Reign's three secondary Megas are a smaller supporting cast by comparison, keeping the set's focus more tightly on Rayquaza.
A smaller secondary roster can actually work in collectors' favor, since a full master set becomes somewhat more achievable when there are fewer total featured Mega Evolutions to track down compared to a set like Pitch Black.
For collectors focused purely on Mega Rayquaza ex, Golisopod, Golurk, and Malamar are reasonable bonus pulls rather than cards worth targeting directly. Their value is unlikely to approach the headliner's, at least in the near term following release.
Type-focused collectors and competitive players building specifically around Bug, Ground, or Dark strategies are the audience most likely to seek these three out intentionally, rather than general set completionists chasing overall value. That said, a set's secondary Megas occasionally see a modest price bump once tournament results reveal unexpected competitive synergy, so it is worth keeping an eye on early event results.
A full master set run for Delta Reign realistically needs all four featured Mega Evolutions accounted for, not just Rayquaza. Budgeting time and money for Golisopod, Golurk, and Malamar alongside the headliner keeps a completion project realistic from the outset.
Because these three are less likely to command chase-card prices, they are typically easier and less expensive to track down individually compared to hunting a Mega Rayquaza ex pull, which can make completing the secondary trio a good early step in a larger set-completion project. A few toploaders are enough to keep this trio rigid and display-ready while the Rayquaza hunt continues.
Four: Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golisopod ex, Mega Golurk ex, and Mega Malamar ex.
They carry dedicated collector interest but are unlikely to match Mega Rayquaza ex's demand.
Bug for Golisopod, Ground for Golurk, and Dark for Malamar.
Yes, the three secondary Megas are generally easier and less expensive to complete first.
