30th Celebration Pokémon cards UK

30th Celebration is the Pokémon TCG's anniversary set, released on 16 September 2026 on the same day in Japan, the UK and everywhere else, which is itself a first. Every card in it is foil, the Basic Energy included, and every pack holds one of thirty Pikachu Rares, each a different hour of the day or night, so the set is as much about the Pikachu checklist as the chase cards.

The main set is 128 cards with around thirty secret rares above it. On top of that are the thirty Classic Collection cards, reprints with a 30th stamp that keep their original numbers (Charizard 4/102, Lugia 149/147, Magikarp 203/193 among them), Mewtwo ex and Mew ex in the new Futuristic Rare finish (157 and 158/128), Special Illustration Rares for Pikachu ex, Mew ex, Gengar ex, Jirachi ex and the Eeveelution ex cards, and the three unnumbered RGB Mew, which are the rarest cards in a modern English set.

There is no booster box and packs are not sold loose, so the set comes through Elite Trainer Boxes, booster bundles, mini tins and a long run of collections through to December. Being all foil, the cards scuff and show print lines straight out of the pack more than ordinary stock does, and the yellow-bordered Classic reprints show off-centring; we grade what we see, and an NM card from us has been checked under an angled lamp.

We stock 30th Celebration singles, the Pikachu set, Classic Collection cards and the sealed product as each wave arrives.
