Thirty years after the Expansion Pack opened the game in Japan in October 1996, this set celebrates the card game itself, and it is the first expansion sold worldwide on a single day, September 16, 2026, Simplified Chinese included. Every card is holofoil and stamped with the 30th Anniversary logo, down to the Basic Energy cards, drawn by the graphic artist YOSHIROTTEN along with the key visual and the two Futuristic Rares, Mewtwo ex and Mew ex, a new rarity with a metallic Pokémon ringed by all ten Energy symbols. Thirty Pikachu rare cards, numbered 023 to 052 and each by a different illustrator, from Ken Sugimori to Kazuki Minami, come one to a pack behind a fireworks holofoil, with attacks written to suit each picture. A Classic Collection reprints thirty landmark cards inside a golden border, Base Set Pikachu 58/102 and Charizard 4/102 at one end, the Magikarp illustration rare of Paldea Evolved at the other, and one card for each mechanic tried in between, Palkia LV.X, both halves of Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND, Rayquaza-EX, M Gardevoir-EX, Greninja BREAK, Solgaleo-GX, Pikachu & Zekrom-GX, Zacian V, Amazing Rare Raikou, Mew VMAX and Arceus VSTAR, none of them legal in Standard. The list runs on a day and night theme, Espeon ex facing Umbreon ex and two Pikachu ex at 053 and 054, one that fills the Bench with Basic Pokémon and one that attaches every Basic Energy in hand, while Mew ex borrows the attacks of anything on its owner's Bench. The 128-card numbering merges the Japanese set with the Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon, and a pack holds five cards plus a Basic Energy. 30th Celebration (30TH) was released on September 16, 2026 in the Mega Evolution series, with 128 cards plus 33 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Mew #R/RGB (RGB Rare), at $4,105.83 (median of 22 sales over 7 days, September 28, 2026).
