Each 30th Celebration booster pack contains five foil cards, including one of the 30 Pikachu illustrations, plus one foil Basic Energy card and a Pokémon TCG Live code card. That means every pack includes a Pikachu rare, although a particular Pikachu artwork is not guaranteed.
Which cards are featured in 30th Celebration?
Pokémon's official set information highlights fan-favourite Pokémon including Mewtwo ex, Mew ex, Umbreon ex, Salamence ex and Greninja ex. Lugia and Ho-Oh have also been officially showcased, while the Classic Collection revisits notable cards from earlier eras of the Pokémon TCG.
Because the complete checklist and card imagery are best maintained by the publisher, use the official Pokémon TCG card database for the current searchable card list.
What is the Classic Collection?
The Classic Collection is a 30-card subset built around memorable cards from the Pokémon TCG's history. The 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection also includes one dedicated Classic Collection booster pack containing three cards from that subset.
What are Futuristic rare cards?
Futuristic rare is a new rarity introduced with 30th Celebration. Pokémon has confirmed two Futuristic rare cards in the expansion, with artwork by YOSHIROTTEN.
What are the 30 Pikachu cards?
Thirty different Pikachu rare illustrations appear across the set, and every 30th Celebration booster pack contains one Pikachu rare. Collectors can therefore encounter one of 30 Pikachu artworks in each pack, but duplicate artworks are possible.
Are official 30th Celebration pull rates available?
No official pull-rate table has been published by Pokémon. Community opening results can be useful as informal observations, but they should not be treated as guaranteed odds for any rarity or card. Treasure Vault does not present community samples as official pull rates. See our 30th Celebration pull-rate data guide for the current release-week sample and its limitations.
Which sealed 30th Celebration product has the most packs?
The Ultra-Premium Collection contains 29 standard 30th Celebration booster packs plus one Classic Collection booster pack. The Elite Trainer Box contains nine packs, while the Booster Bundle contains six. See the 30th Celebration product guide for the full side-by-side comparison.
