**30th Celebration is an all-foil anniversary set out September 16, 2026, celebrating 30 years of the Pokémon TCG with classic reprints, a new Futuristic Rare rarity, and 30 unique Pikachu cards.**

## A 30th-anniversary celebration set

**30th Celebration** marks 30 years of the Pokémon TCG. Like *Celebrations* did for the 25th anniversary, it mixes **reprinted classic cards with brand-new ones** — but turns everything up to foil.

## What makes it special

- **Every card is foil** — including the Basic Energy. There are no non-foil commons.
- A brand-new **Futuristic Rare** rarity debuts, led by Mewtwo ex and Mew ex from artist YOSHIROTTEN.
- Every pack guarantees **1 of 30 unique Pikachu cards**, each illustrated by a different artist.
- **30 iconic classics get reprinted** with special foiling and a "30" anniversary Pikachu stamp — including the Base Set Charizard.

## Who's in it

Confirmed Pokémon include an **Espeon & Umbreon** day/night Illustration pair, new **Sylveon ex** and **Greninja ex**, the **Mewtwo ex / Mew ex** Futuristic Rares, plus Lapras, Drifloon, Hisuian Zorua and Lycanroc.

> **Pre-release set.** 30th Celebration isn't out yet — everything here is from official reveals and TCG news as of August 2026, and details can still change before launch. We'll swap in full card data once it releases.
