Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution--Delta Reign Reveals Sprigatito Evolution Cards

Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution--Delta Reign is due to launch on November 6, and three newly revealed cards offer an early look at one complete evolutionary line from the set. Sprigatito, Floragato and Meowscarada ex will all appear in the expansion, giving players a direct route from the Grass Cat Pokémon's Basic card to a high-HP Pokémon ex with an attack capable of affecting both the Active spot and the Bench.

Delta Reign is a Mega Evolution-themed set containing more than 135 card designs in total. Mega Malamar, Mega Golurk and Mega Rayquaza are among the Pokémon confirmed for the release, while the newly shown Paldea starter line provides a different kind of deck-building focal point. Rather than presenting a Mega Evolution card itself, this trio illustrates the familiar progression that many Pokémon TCG decks are built around: establish a Basic Pokémon, evolve it in stages, then use the evolved form's stronger stats and attacks to take control of a game.

A full Sprigatito line arrives in Delta Reign

Sprigatito begins the line as a 70 HP Basic Pokémon. The card's artwork depicts the Pokémon enjoying a late-morning nap on a trainer's bed, a notably relaxed scene for the first step in a line that eventually leads to a 320 HP Pokémon ex. Its attack, Play Rough, is available at the Basic stage, though the card is primarily significant as the foundation needed to reach its evolutions.

That evolution begins with Floragato, which has 90 HP and the Slash attack. Slash deals 60 damage, representing a substantial increase in immediate offensive output compared with the starter card. Floragato is the middle stage between Sprigatito and Meowscarada, so it serves two purposes within the line: it is a more durable and more forceful Pokémon than Sprigatito, while also being the necessary Stage 1 that allows Meowscarada ex to enter play.

The final reveal, Meowscarada ex, brings the line's biggest numbers. It has 320 HP and uses Magical Bullet, an attack that deals 120 damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon. The effect does not stop there. Magical Bullet also deals another 120 damage to any damaged Pokémon on the opponent's Bench.

That wording makes existing damage especially important. A Benched Pokémon must already be damaged before it can be selected for Magical Bullet's additional damage. In practice, that gives the attack a potentially meaningful follow-up role. It can pressure the Active Pokémon while also threatening a weakened Benched target at the same time, rather than forcing the Meowscarada player to choose only one area of the opponent's board.

Meowscarada ex offers power with a familiar risk

As a Pokémon ex, Meowscarada carries an important drawback alongside its 320 HP and split damage potential. If it is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two Prize cards. That higher Prize liability is part of the central trade-off attached to Pokémon ex: these cards can bring stronger attacks, larger HP totals or more impactful effects, but losing one can accelerate an opponent's route to victory.

For a player considering the line, protecting Meowscarada ex will therefore matter as much as deploying it. Its 320 HP presents a sizable target that may require considerable damage to remove, but it also represents two Prizes if an opponent succeeds. The reward is the ability to use Magical Bullet to apply pressure across the field, particularly once damage has been placed on a Pokémon that retreats to the Bench in an effort to avoid being Knocked Out.

The three-card reveal also makes the line's intended evolution path clear. Sprigatito starts with 70 HP, Floragato raises that total to 90 HP while offering 60 damage through Slash, and Meowscarada ex reaches 320 HP with its 120 damage Active attack and its additional 120 damage against a damaged Benched Pokémon. That is a straightforward but useful snapshot of how the cards relate to one another before the larger set list has been seen.

Key details from the three revealed cards

• Sprigatito: A Basic Pokémon with 70 HP and the Play Rough attack. Its illustration shows it sleeping on a trainer's bed.
• Floragato: The Stage 1 evolution of Sprigatito, with 90 HP and Slash, which deals 60 damage.
• Meowscarada ex: The final evolution revealed for the line, with 320 HP and Magical Bullet.
• Magical Bullet: Deals 120 damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon and another 120 damage to one damaged Benched Pokémon.
• Prize rule: As a Pokémon ex, Meowscarada ex gives up two Prize cards when Knocked Out.

What the reveal says about Delta Reign

With more than 135 designs planned, Mega Evolution--Delta Reign has room for a broad collection of strategies, Pokémon and rarities beyond the cards shown so far. The inclusion of Mega Malamar, Mega Golurk and Mega Rayquaza establishes Mega Evolution as a major part of the set's identity. The Sprigatito family, meanwhile, shows that the expansion will also include conventional evolution lines that can stand on their own in play.

Meowscarada's appearance is particularly notable because it gives one of Paldea's starter evolution lines a Pokémon ex card in the set. The reveal does not establish the complete support package available to Grass decks or to Meowscarada specifically, and the full card list has not yet been detailed here. Even so, Magical Bullet gives players a clear reason to watch the line. Attacks that can reach the Bench often become more dangerous as a match develops, since earlier exchanges can leave Pokémon damaged but alive.

The attack may create difficult choices for an opponent with a damaged Benched Pokémon. Leaving that Pokémon in play can expose it to the extra 120 damage, while moving it elsewhere may not always be possible or desirable. At the same time, the attack's restriction prevents it from simply targeting any untouched Benched Pokémon, making the timing of damage placement an important consideration. Whether Meowscarada ex becomes a centerpiece card will depend on the wider card pool, but its revealed text already points toward an approach based on maintaining pressure on multiple targets.

Floragato's Slash attack should not be overlooked simply because Meowscarada ex is the headline card. A Stage 1 with 90 HP and 60 damage can provide a usable step while a player works toward the final evolution. In evolution decks, middle-stage cards are sometimes only transitional pieces, but an attack with a stated damage value gives Floragato an active on-board function before Meowscarada ex is ready.

Sprigatito's role is more foundational, though its artwork supplies a memorable introduction to the trio. The sleeping scene contrasts with the escalating combat profile of the line: a quiet 70 HP Basic becomes a 90 HP Stage 1 and ultimately a 320 HP Pokémon ex that can hit an Active Pokémon and a damaged Benched Pokémon with the same attack. For collectors, that progression also gives the three cards a visual and character-driven connection rather than presenting Meowscarada ex in isolation.

The next expansion follows a high-demand anniversary release

Mega Evolution--Delta Reign will arrive after the current Pokémon 30th Anniversary release, which launched last week. That release drew considerable demand, with queues and confrontations reported around attempts to buy product. The situation also proved disappointing for scalpers who had expected to make their usual profits.

That backdrop puts extra attention on the November 6 launch. Pokémon TCG releases can appeal simultaneously to competitive players building new decks, collectors pursuing particular Pokémon or artwork, and fans following the franchise's newest themed expansions. Delta Reign has already established several hooks across those groups: its Mega Evolution focus, Mega Pokémon such as Rayquaza, Malamar and Golurk, and now a full Sprigatito evolutionary line led by Meowscarada ex.

There is still much to learn about the expansion's overall composition, including how the revealed cards fit alongside the rest of its more than 135 designs. For now, the Sprigatito, Floragato and Meowscarada ex cards provide a concrete early look at what players can expect: an evolution line that starts modestly, builds through Floragato's 60-damage Slash, and culminates in a two-Prize Pokémon ex with a 320 HP total and a potentially disruptive multi-target attack.
