Pack & box format
30th Celebration breaks from the standard Japanese booster on three counts — every card is foil, packs hold 6 cards (one more than usual) at ¥360, and boxes are 20 packs (¥7,200). One of the six is always a Pikachu, drawn from a pool of 30 — completing that sub-set alone needs at least 30 packs, so every box is a partial Pikachu hunt.
October wave: 30th Celebration Card Sets
A second wave lands 16 October 2026: nine themed 30th Celebration Card Sets, one per generation. Each covers a region's three starters as holo promos, bundled with two boosters and a paper card stand. ¥1,200 per set.
