You also get 29 regular packs, a playmat, card sleeves, a deck box and other accessories.
The promos are the difference. Day pairs Pikachu ex with Espeon ex; Night pairs a different Pikachu ex with Umbreon ex. Both Pikachu ex cards are illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN, and Espeon ex and Umbreon ex by REND.

09 · Our take
Which 30th Celebration release we'd wait for
Our take
If you want packs, wait for 6 November. The Ultra-Premium Collection is the most 30th Celebration in one box, and it's the only place to find a Classic Collection pack. The Day and Night promos are some of the best-looking cards in the range.
Players should look at the 30 October Battle Decks: a full all-foil deck is a lovely way to learn the game. For gifts, the Ditto box and the Figure Collections land in good time for Christmas, and the 4 December tins make an easy stocking filler.
- ✓You want the Classic Collection pack: the Ultra-Premium Collections, 6 November
- ✓You want a playable deck: the Battle Decks, 30 October
- ✓You want a Christmas gift: Ditto, the Figure Collections or the ex Tins
- ✕You only want one specific card: buying the single is cheaper than chasing it
