Pokémon is turning 30, and the Trading Card Game is marking the milestone with one of its biggest product lineups in years. The new 30th Celebration expansion launches September 16, 2026, with additional releases rolling out through early November. Here’s every product that’s been announced so far, along with what’s actually inside each one.
What’s in a 30th Celebration Booster Pack
Every 30th Celebration booster pack includes five foil cards and one foil Basic Energy card. One of those foils will be a Pikachu illustration, and there are 30 unique Pikachu illustrations to track down across the set. The expansion also includes a Classic Collection, pulling cards from across the game’s three-decade history.
The Pokémon TCG first launched in 1996, and the brand has used milestone anniversaries before to spotlight classic artwork and characters. You can read more about the game’s history on the official Pokémon TCG site.
