Pokemon TCG: 30th Celebration Set Launches September 16

The Pokemon Trading Card Game’s latest anniversary release, titled 30th Celebration, officially launched on September 16, 2026. This special collection is distributed in waves of premium boxes and curated collections rather than standard booster packs. Each pack contains only six cards, with one slot reserved for energy, while the remaining five are foil cards guaranteed to include at least one of thirty unique Pikachu variants.

The set introduces new card aesthetics, including Futuristic Rares featuring Mewtwo and Mew, alongside gold-bordered Classic Collection reprints such as Base Set Charizard. Notable playable cards include Mew ex, which utilizes benched allies' attacks, and Zoroark, which reduces retreat costs. The collection also features a dedicated subset of thirty distinct Pikachu designs ranging from classic art styles to modern digital illustrations.
