Inside the Futuristic Box
A YOSHIROTTEN-designed battle supply set built around the two exclusive Pikachu ex Futuristic rare promos. Every accessory carries the same visual language as the cards — designed as a collector display piece as much as a play kit. Pokémon Center Online exclusive at launch; ¥27,500 (tax included).
Cards
- Pikachu ex (day variant) — Futuristic rare promo, illus. YOSHIROTTEN
- Pikachu ex (night variant) — Futuristic rare promo, illus. YOSHIROTTEN
Accessories
- 64 special deck shields
- Flip deck case
- Special rubber half playmat
- Flip playmat case
- Flip damage counter case
- Special display frame
- 12 metal damage counter dice
- 2 Pokémon coins
- Metal poison marker & burn marker (1 each)
Pokémon Center Online exclusive at launch — may reach Pokémon Centers and stores at a later date. Expect demand to significantly outpace supply; treat this like a lottery product and register early.
The two promo Pikachu ex are unique to this box — they will not appear in regular booster packs. The Futuristic rare Mew ex and Mewtwo ex do appear in standard packs.
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.
