Follow @Bills_Archive for updates, or see the news & timeline page for dated coverage.
Futuristic Rare — the New Rarity
The teased opalescent finish has a name: Futuristic rare — a brand-new Pokémon TCG rarity making its debut in 30th Celebration, illustrated by Japanese artist YOSHIROTTEN. Four are confirmed so far. Mewtwo ex and Mew ex appear in the main booster set; the two Pikachu ex variants (day & night) are exclusive to the premium Futuristic Box.
Born 1983. Work inhabits a space where nature and technology, light and matter, antiquity and future coexist — recently channelled into science-fiction visual research on colour, Earth and the Sun. Solo exhibitions include SUN at Tokyo’s National Stadium (2023) and Radial Graphics Bio at Ginza Graphic Gallery (2024). Every accessory in the Futuristic Box carries the same visual language.

Card Gallery — Every Card Revealed So Far
Every 30th Celebration card revealed to date, grouped by numbering pool and sorted in number order within each group. The main numbered set runs to 128 cards, with Secret Rares numbered beyond it.

Unverified leaks of further 30th Celebration cards are circulating online, and they look stunning. We’ll add them here once they’re officially confirmed.
Main Set · #1–128
Six main-set cards have been revealed so far — headlined by the brand-new Greninja ex (#21) and Sylveon ex (#71), alongside Espeon (#69), Nidorina (#88), Umbreon (#91) and Eevee (#116).
Starter Promos — the Nine Card Sets · #101–127
The nine October Card Sets each hold a region’s three starters as holo M-P promos — a separate Japanese promo set (illus. Saboteri) numbered #101–127, one line of starters per generation from Kanto to Paldea.
Secret Rares · beyond #128
Alternate-art versions numbered above the 128-card set total — the modern Secret Rare convention.
Premium Deck Set · Espeon & Umbreon
Deck-exclusive numbering, separate from the main set — including Espeon ex and Umbreon ex in both regular and Full Art versions. Contents and decklists are in the products section.
Classic Reprints
Following the Classic Collection model from 2021’s Celebrations, the set draws 30 classic reprints with fresh foil treatment from across TCG history. Confirmed so far: Base Set Charizard, Pikachu & Zekrom GX, and Crystal Lugia from Aquapolis (image pending). Final numbering has not been announced.
| Reprint Era | Years | Confirmed / Likely |
|---|---|---|
| Base Set / Classic | 1996–2001 | Charizard confirmed; more Gen 1 holos expected |
| e-Reader / e-Series | 2002–2003 | Crystal Lugia from Aquapolis confirmed |
| Modern ex / GX / V | 2019–2025 | Pikachu & Zekrom GX and Eeveelution ex confirmed |
Deep dive: the full card list & gallery page.
The 30 Pikachu
One Pikachu is guaranteed in every booster pack — drawn from a pool of 30 different variants, each illustrated by a different artist. Completing the sub-set needs at least 30 packs, so every 20-pack box is a partial Pikachu hunt by design.
Promo Cards — the MEP EN Run
The English release brings a full run of foil black-star promos (set code MEP EN) packed into the Western collections — from the Tech Sticker pair to the legendary birds, the ex Box duo, the Figure Collection Mewtwo & Mew, the Ditto Premium Collection and two Futuristic-style Pikachu ex. Promos use their own numbering (currently #094–#109), separate from the main numbered set.

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) rather than the standard 30. One of the six is always a Pikachu, drawn from the pool of 30.
Western Product Lineup
The Pokémon Company International confirmed the English-language range on 30 June 2026. The core collections land 16 September worldwide, with further products rolling out through December. Almost every one carries a foil MEP EN promo.

Deep dive: the 30th Celebration buying guide.
Anniversary Heritage
30th Celebration sits within a small but iconic lineage of milestone releases — each leaning into nostalgia and reprints rather than meta shake-up. Here’s the precedent, and why the anniversary format holds value.
| Anniversary | Release | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2006 · 10th | Promo stamp run | No dedicated set — the 10th was marked with stamped promotional cards distributed through the first half of the year |
| 2016 · 20th | Generations & CP6 | English “Generations” (Feb, 83 cards) and Japan’s “Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary” (CP6, 16 Sept) reprinting the Base Set line-up. CP6 now trades around 6× its original MSRP sealed |
| 2021 · 25th | Celebrations & 25th Anniversary Collection | English “Celebrations” (50 cards, 8 Oct) with its Classic Collection of reprints, and Japan’s 25th Anniversary Collection (22 Oct) |
| 2026 · 30th | 30th Celebration | The first worldwide simultaneous anniversary set — all-foil packs, 30 Pikachu, 30 reprints and the new Futuristic rare |
The Most Valuable Pikachu Cards
With 30 Pikachu guaranteed across the set, here’s the broader context — the most valuable Pikachu cards ever, by verified auction records and PSA 10 market prices.
| # | Card | Context | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pikachu Illustrator | 1998 CoroCoro illustration-contest prize · 39 copies | $16.49M PSA 10 |
| 2 | Trophy Pikachu No.1 Trainer | 1997 tournament gold trophy · ~15 known | ~$3M PSA 10 |

| 4 | Trophy Pikachu No.2 Trainer | 1998 Lizardon Mega Battle silver trophy · ~15 copies | $444K PSA 10 |

| 8 | Base Set Red Cheeks Pikachu (E3 Stamp) | Shadowless 58/102 · E3 2000 convention stamp | $6.7K PSA 10 |
None of these are in 30th Celebration, but they show why a Pikachu-anchored anniversary set commands attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

30th Celebration launches worldwide simultaneously on 16 September 2026 — the first such release in Pokémon TCG history. The digital version arrives on Pokémon TCG Live on 15 September 2026, and nine themed Card Sets follow on 16 October 2026.

The main numbered set contains 128 cards, plus Secret Rares numbered beyond 128 — including Lapras (#131), Drifloon (#136), Lycanroc (#138) and Hisuian Zorua (#145). Add the 30 Pikachu variants, the Futuristic rares, the Premium Deck Set exclusives and the MEP EN promo run and the full collection is significantly larger.

Yes. Each all-foil 6-card pack contains one guaranteed Pikachu, drawn from a pool of 30 different variants, each illustrated by a different artist.
Why are some cards numbered above 128?
Cards numbered beyond the main set total are Secret Rares — alternate-art or rarer parallel versions that sit outside the standard numbered run, a convention used across modern Pokémon TCG sets.
What new Pokémon ex are in the set?
Greninja ex (#21) and Sylveon ex (#71) appear in the main booster set, Espeon ex and Umbreon ex are exclusive to the Premium Deck Set, and the Futuristic rares add Mewtwo ex, Mew ex and the two Pikachu ex variants.
