Storm Emeralda 2026: Japan's Newest Pokémon Card Set
Storm Emeralda is Japan's newest Pokémon card set (July 31, 2026) for ¥200/pack, Mega Rayquaza ex. Full prices, cards, and how to buy from Japan with Doorzo.
Storm Emeralda (ストームエメラルダ) is the newest Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, released in Japan on July 31, 2026, as the sixth set of the MEGA Evolution era. It is headlined by Mega Rayquaza ex, sells for ¥200 per five-card pack (¥6,000 for a 30-pack box, a retailer-calculated figure since Japan only publishes the per-pack price), and contains 113 total cards — a 76-card base set plus 37 secret rares. It has not been released in English; the closest English equivalent, Delta Reign, arrives November 6, 2026. Overseas collectors can buy Storm Emeralda now through Doorzo, a Japan-based proxy buying service that purchases the product from a Japanese seller or store and ships it abroad.

Source: Tokyo Card Report, "Storm Emeralda Set Guide," as of the July 2026 launch; The Pokémon Company only publishes the per-pack price, so any box figure is a retailer calculation rather than an official SKU.
One week after release, secondary-market prices for the top chase cards had already moved: the Mega Rayquaza ex MUR (card 113/076) was holding at roughly ¥300,000–350,000 for A-grade copies, while the SAR version (110/076) had settled to about ¥65,000–88,000 (Samurai Sword Tokyo, updated August 7, 2026). Sealed boxes were listed around ¥17,500 (no shrink) to ¥20,000 (factory sealed) from the same Tokyo-based retailer before selling out.
What's New in Storm Emeralda
Storm Emeralda is set apart from earlier MEGA-era expansions by three things:
1. Split Stadium cards. For the first time in the MEGA era, Stadium cards are printed as two physical halves that must be played together as a single large card — "Legendary Summit" and "Legendary Trench" are the first examples, but otherwise follow standard Stadium rules once combined.
2. No Basic Energy. Every one of the 76 base-set slots is a playable, non-filler card, since Basic Energy cards were left out of the print run entirely.
3. Four Mega ex in one 76-card base set. Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Golisopod ex, Mega Golurk ex, and Mega Malamar ex share the spotlight, spreading chase value across more cards than a single-headliner set typically would.
Thematically, the set draws from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire rather than Pokémon Legends: Z-A, though Legends: Z-A–style Mega Evolution Pokémon still make appearances.
How to Buy Storm Emeralda From Outside Japan With Doorzo: Real Cost Example
Buying a single Storm Emeralda booster box through Doorzo from a Mercari Japan reseller breaks down like this:
| Cost item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Item price (booster box, Mercari listing) | ¥6,000 |
| Doorzo proxy purchase fee | ¥50–300 (per item; shown in cart at checkout) |
| Domestic shipping to Doorzo's Japan warehouse | ~¥500–800 (typical range for a single-item shipment, varies by seller) |
| International shipping (courier, ~1.5 kg parcel) | ~¥2,000–3,000 (varies by destination and carrier; get an exact figure from Doorzo's AI shipping calculator) |
| Estimated total | ~¥8,800–10,100 (roughly $55–$63 at ¥159.6 = $1, August 18, 2026) |
This estimate excludes any import duty in the destination country, which is charged separately and varies by region. For example, U.S. buyers were paying a roughly 10% surcharge on Japanese parcels as of mid-2026, following the end of the $800 duty-free import threshold in August 2025. Doorzo charges its proxy purchase fee of ¥50–300 per item, shown directly in the shopping cart at checkout, with the total cost calculated as item price plus proxy fee plus domestic shipping (if applicable) plus international shipping plus any optional services.
