Each Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration booster pack contains 5 foil cards, 1 foil Basic Energy and 1 Pokémon TCG Live code card. Every pack is guaranteed to include one of 30 unique Pikachu rare card variations designed exclusively for the anniversary, turning pack-cracking into a mini set-completion project of its own.

What is the Classic Collection?

The 30th Celebration set includes 30 Classic Collection reprints, iconic cards from throughout Pokémon TCG history reprinted with premium finishes for the anniversary. These 30 cards are not Standard-legal and function as a bonus subset for collectors. The Ultra-Premium Collection Day and Night boxes each contain one exclusive Classic Collection booster with special etched cards not available anywhere else.

Is there a 30th Celebration booster box?

No. There is no English 36-pack booster box for 30th Celebration. The Pokémon Company chose to release the booster packs only inside other products: the Elite Trainer Box (9 packs), the Booster Bundle (6 packs), the Sylveon ex and Greninja ex tins (4 packs each), the mini tins, and the premium collections listed above. If you want a lot of packs at once, the Ultra-Premium Collections carry 29 each and the ETB is the next most efficient. The Booster Bundle follows on 2 October.

Pre-orders are charged when you order and shipped the day stock reaches us, in release order, so a basket mixing September and December products will ship in two parcels. If you would rather buy something you can have this week, the most recent set actually on our shelves is Pitch Black, and every Pokémon set we carry is listed on the Pokémon set index.
