Pokémon 30th Anniversary Set — Every 30th Celebration Product
30th Celebration, the Pokémon 30th Anniversary set, isn't a single release. Since the set launched on 16 September 2026, new products have arrived every few weeks, up to the Ultra-Premium Collections in November. Here's the lineup and what each product is for.
September: The Set Launch
30th Celebration booster packs are the heart of the set: every card is foil and every pack has a Pikachu. The Elite Trainer Box (ETB) holds 9 booster packs, a full-art foil Nidorina promo, 65 card sleeves, 16 foil Basic Energy, 6 damage-counter dice, a coin-flip die, a coin and a storage box with dividers. The Pokémon Center edition adds 2 more packs and a second Nidorina promo with the Pokémon Center logo. Launch day also brought smaller collections: Sylveon ex and Greninja ex boxes with 4 packs and a promo, a Poster Collection with 3 packs and Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres promos, and a Knock Out Collection and 2-pack blister, each with an Eevee promo.
October: Bundles, Mini Tins and Battle Decks
The Booster Bundle arrived in early October with 6 booster packs, the simplest way to open a handful of packs. Mini Tins came at the same time in 10 designs, each with 2 packs, a sticker sheet and an art card. At the end of the month came the Espeon ex and Umbreon ex Battle Decks: ready-to-play, all-foil 60-card decks with a deck box, coin and playmat. The Espeon deck includes an illustration rare Victini, and the Umbreon deck an illustration rare Zeraora.
November: The Big Collections
6 November brought the anniversary's flagship, the Ultra-Premium Collection in Day (Espeon ex) and Night (Umbreon ex) versions, with 29 booster packs, a Classic Collection pack, Pikachu ex and Espeon ex or Umbreon ex promos, a playmat, sleeves, a deck box, a metal coin and dice. See our full Ultra-Premium Collection guide. The same day saw the Ditto Premium Collection, with 8 packs, a Ditto promo and an acrylic display, and the Mew and Mewtwo Figure Collections, each with 5 packs, a foil promo, an oversize card and a sculpted figure.
