Two products launch on day one with worldwide simultaneous distribution on 16 September 2026, joined by the premium Futuristic Box. A second wave follows in October. Here's everything launching, and what each is best for.
Launch lineup
Booster Box
¥7,200 RRP. A 20-pack box — smaller than the standard 30-pack format. Every slot has stopping power, and each pack holds one of 30 Pikachu.

Booster Pack
¥360 RRP, up from the usual ¥200, reflecting the all-foil anniversary structure.

Premium Deck Set: Espeon & Umbreon
¥6,200 RRP. Ready to play out of the box. Full contents & decklists ↓

30th Celebration Futuristic Box

¥1,200 each. One per generation — three holo starter promos, two boosters and a paper card stand. Full details ↓
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

- Flip damage counter case
- Special display frame

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.
