In a Japanese set the value does not sit in the main set cards, it sits above number 076. In Storm Emeralda that is around forty cards, and 36 of them are already uncovered with a collector number and an image: the three chase versions of Mega Rayquaza ex, five Special Art Rares, sixteen full art Super Rares and twelve Art Rares.
This is the list, card by card, split by rarity. If you are after the 76 regular cards instead, they are in the complete main set list.
In short. Storm Emeralda (M6) is out in Japan on 31 July 2026. The chase cards run from number 077 to 113. The headline card is Mega Rayquaza ex, printed in three treatments: Full Art 095, Special Art Rare 110 and Gold 113. None of them has a price yet, because the set is not out and no listings exist. Data as of 29 July 2026.
Mega Rayquaza ex SAR, Full Art and Gold
This is where most of a box's value ends up, and that is not a wild guess: it happens every set, and on Pitch Black the top three cards in the ranking were worth more on their own than everything else combined.
The cover card comes in three different treatments. The Full Art at number 095, the Special Art Rare at 110, illustrated by Kazuki Minami, winner of the 2024 illustration contest, and the Gold at 113, closing the set's numbering.
One thing to watch when you go looking for a price: the Pokémon does not set the value, the print does. Mega Rayquaza ex also exists as a regular card at number 058, and that one will cost a fraction. On Pitch Black the very same Pokémon went from 9.88 € for the base print to dozens of times that in its chase versions. It is why adding up a collection by eye never works: the DarkDex price engine keeps every single variant separate.

The Storm Emeralda Special Art Rares (SAR)
The step below Mega Rayquaza ex, and the band where almost all the remaining value ends up. These are the full-card illustrations with the silver frame, sitting between numbers 107 and 112.
The two Trainer cards, Aarune and Zinnia's Trust, are worth a second look: in recent sets the Trainer SARs often hold their price better than the Pokémon ones, because fewer get opened and players actually use them.
The Storm Emeralda Super Rares (SR)
The Full Art versions of the main set's ex and Trainers, plus the special Energy. This is the middle band: far easier to find than the SARs, but still well beyond an average pack.
The special Energy in SR form is the recurring surprise of this band: they look like filler, but they end up in every deck and the price notices.
The Storm Emeralda Art Rares (AR)
The borderless illustrations, from number 077 to 088. This is the most affordable band of the section and, for a lot of collectors, the nicest: no effects, just artwork filling the whole card.
Growlithe 078 and Azurill 086 are the two I would pick on artwork alone: classic desk ARs, the kind that end up in a binder even for people who never play.
How much are the Storm Emeralda chase cards worth
Today, nothing: none of them has a price, because the set is not out and not one listing exists. Be wary of anyone quoting exact values before 31 July, because they are extrapolating from other sets.
Real values appear with the first sales, in the days right after the Japanese release, and they swing hard at first: in week one, stock, hype and day-one demand matter far more than they will in six months. The numbers become trustworthy later, once the mass box opening dries up.
What can be said already is the shape the ranking will take, because it repeats every set: the cover card's SAR and Gold on top, the other SARs right below, then a clear drop to the SRs, with the ARs staying the accessible band.
Careful. As of 29 July 2026 no Storm Emeralda card has a price, simply because there are no listings. Come back to this page after the 31st: we update it with real prices as soon as the market produces them.
Which chase cards are worth hunting
If you are opening packs hoping for one card, the answer is the Special Art Rare 110 of Mega Rayquaza ex: it is the cover card, it has the most wanted artwork in the set, and it is what holds up box prices.
If instead you are building a collection without going broke, the twelve Art Rares from 077 to 088 are the best value in the section, and they are the ones you can actually complete: twelve cards is a reachable target, forty-six is not.
Storm Emeralda chase cards FAQ
How many chase cards does Storm Emeralda have?
The section above the main set starts at number 077 and is estimated at around forty cards. As of 29 July, 36 have been uncovered, and the numbering reaches at least 113, the Mega Rayquaza ex Gold.
What is the rarest card in Storm Emeralda?
The Mega Rayquaza ex Gold, number 113, is the rarest by pull rate. The most wanted, though, will almost certainly be the Special Art Rare 110, because artwork counts as much as rarity.
What is the difference between AR, SR and SAR?
AR (Art Rare): full-card artwork with no frame, the most common of the three. SR (Super Rare): the Full Art version of a card that already exists in the main set, with a metallic frame. SAR (Special Art Rare): artwork extended across the whole card with a silver frame, the rarest and the priciest.
Are the Storm Emeralda chase cards coming out in English?
Not under this name. The same cards return West inside Delta Reign, due on 6 November 2026, the way Abyss Eye became Pitch Black. If you are waiting for English versions, that is the date to mark.
How to track their value from day one
On DarkDex you can add these cards to your collection right now, before prices even exist: the value switches on by itself once listings start, with day by day history and your portfolio total always in view. It is how you watch a set move from the start instead of reconstructing it afterwards.
How to read these images. They come from previews published before the official date, so some are photographed rather than scanned, and in a few you can see the hand holding the card. We replace them with clean scans as soon as the set enters the catalogue. Where the collector number was not clearly readable we left it blank instead of guessing.
