• 20 × 30th Celebration Booster Packs
• 6 × Holographic Cards per Booster Pack
• 120 Cards across the Booster Box
• 1 of 30 special Pikachu cards in every Booster Pack

All cards included in the 30th Celebration booster packs are holographic.

Cards are randomly inserted and duplicates may occur. Purchasing a Booster Box does not guarantee any specific card or rarity unless otherwise stated.

Celebrating 30 Years of Pokémon TCG

The Pokémon Trading Card Game celebrates its 30th Anniversary in 2026, marking three decades since the original Pokémon cards first arrived in Japan in 1996.

30th Celebration has been created specifically for this milestone, looking back across the history of the Pokémon TCG while introducing new cards and artwork for a new generation of collectors.

The expansion combines nostalgia with modern Pokémon card design, featuring familiar Pokémon, returning concepts and special anniversary treatments throughout the set.

For long-time collectors, it's an opportunity to celebrate three decades of Pokémon cards.

For newer collectors, it's a chance to experience artwork and designs inspired by different periods throughout Pokémon TCG history.

30 Pikachu Cards by 30 Artists

One of the defining features of 30th Celebration is a special collection of 30 Pikachu cards created by 30 different illustrators.

Each artist has created their own interpretation of Pikachu, resulting in a collection of anniversary cards showcasing a variety of different artistic styles.

Even better, every 30th Celebration booster pack contains one card from the 30 Pikachu collection.

That means a complete Booster Box provides 20 opportunities to discover different Pikachu designs.

With 30 designs to collect, these cards create a dedicated mini-collection within the wider 30th Celebration expansion.

Duplicates can occur, and opening 20 packs does not guarantee 20 different Pikachu designs.

Every Card Is Holographic

Unlike a traditional Pokémon booster release, all 6 cards inside every Simplified Chinese 30th Celebration booster pack are holographic.

Each Booster Box contains:

20 Packs × 6 Holographic Cards = 120 Holographic Pokémon Cards

This premium pack configuration makes every opening feel appropriate for a major anniversary release and gives collectors plenty of foil cards to discover throughout a full Booster Box.

Introducing FUR – Futuristic Rare

30th Celebration also introduces a special anniversary rarity known as FUR – Futuristic Rare.

These distinctive cards represent the future side of Pokémon's 30th Anniversary celebration and feature artwork from acclaimed graphic artist YOSHIROTTEN.

Among the headline FUR cards revealed for the expansion are:

• Mew ex
• Mewtwo ex

Their futuristic visual style creates a striking contrast against the nostalgic cards celebrating Pokémon TCG's past.

Mew ex & Mewtwo ex

Two of the biggest Pokémon featured in the 30th Celebration expansion are Mew ex and Mewtwo ex.

Both Pokémon receive special FUR (Futuristic Rare) treatments featuring artwork by YOSHIROTTEN.

Mew and Mewtwo have been part of the Pokémon TCG since its earliest years, making them fitting choices for premium cards celebrating the game's 30th Anniversary.

For collectors of the original 151 Pokémon, these are among the standout cards to look for within the expansion.

Classic Pokémon Return

30th Celebration reaches across multiple generations and eras of Pokémon TCG history.

Cards revealed for the Simplified Chinese expansion include Pokémon such as:

• Pikachu
• Charizard
• Mew
• Mewtwo
• Reshiram
• Zekrom
• Espeon
• Umbreon
• Jirachi
• Ditto
• Lapras
• Alolan Meowth
• Hisuian Zorua
• And many more

The result is an anniversary expansion that isn't limited to a single Pokémon generation, instead celebrating characters and artwork from across the history of the franchise.

Special Anniversary Cards

Alongside the regular 30th Celebration card pool are special anniversary treatments designed to celebrate memorable Pokémon cards and moments from the TCG's history.

One of the headline cards revealed for the Simplified Chinese release is a special Charizard, giving collectors another major anniversary card to chase.

The expansion also reaches back into later eras of Pokémon TCG history with cards inspired by previous mechanics and generations, creating a set that celebrates much more than just the original Pokémon releases.

Simplified Chinese 30th Celebration

The Simplified Chinese edition has become an increasingly popular part of the international Pokémon TCG collecting community thanks to its distinctive products, premium card treatments and growing selection of exclusive releases.

30th Celebration continues that trend with a dedicated Simplified Chinese product lineup alongside the anniversary booster expansion.

Cards from this Booster Box are printed in Simplified Chinese and carry the 30th C set designation.

For collectors already following releases such as the Simplified Chinese Gem Pack series and other exclusive Chinese Pokémon products, 30th Celebration represents one of the biggest commemorative releases to date.

Each box provides:

• 20 Booster Packs
• 6 Holographic Cards per Pack
