Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration products: the full lineup, detailed

By Eduard Mihaila · August 10, 2026

The Pokémon Company has detailed the full sealed-product lineup built around the 30th anniversary set in its official 30th Celebration product showcase: seventeen-plus products, from a simple two-pack blister to Ultra-Premium collections packing 30 booster packs, rolling out in waves from September 16, 2026. After covering the set itself and the cards already revealed, here’s the complete tour of the boxes — and the promo cards inside them.

Quick answer: the 30th Celebration lineup spans 17+ products in waves. From September 16, 2026: blisters and the Knock Out Collection (Eevee promo), the Poster Collection (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres), Sylveon ex and Greninja ex boxes, and the Elite Trainer Box (full-art Nidorina promo). Then from October 2 to November 6: Mini Tins, Espeon ex and Umbreon ex Battle Decks, the Ditto Premium Collection, Day and Night Ultra-Premium Collections (29 packs + 1 Classic Collection pack) and Mew or Mewtwo Figure Collections. The promos are numbered in the MEP series, separate from the set.

The first wave: September 16, 2026

The first salvo lands with the set on September 16, 2026, wherever Pokémon TCG products are sold:

• Tech Sticker Collection — a sheet of repositionable stickers, 3 booster packs and a foil promo depending on the edition: Alolan Exeggutor or Lucario.
• 2-Pack Blister and Knock Out Collection — the two entry-level formats, each with a foil Eevee promo and a plastic coin.
• Poster Collection — a poster showing over 160 cards from the set, 3 booster packs and the three legendary birds of Kanto as foil promos: Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres.
• Sylveon ex Box and Greninja ex Box — a playable foil promo, its jumbo version and 4 booster packs.
• Elite Trainer Box — the most complete: 9 booster packs, a full-art Nidorina promo, 65 card sleeves, 16 foil basic Energy cards, damage counters, a die, a coin and a storage box with six dividers. A Pokémon Center exclusive version adds two extra packs and a second Nidorina promo stamped with the Pokémon Center logo.

The blister Eevee is a textbook example of the classic trap with these products: it’s card 116/128 of the set, but struck with the 30th anniversary Pikachu stamp — a distinct version from the booster pull, with its own market. On Cardmarket, stamped and unstamped versions live separate lives; our guide explains how to identify a card by its set and number so you never mix them up.

The box promos, meanwhile, carry the MEP numbering of the current black-star promo series — the Poster Collection’s Moltres is stamped MEP 096, Greninja ex MEP 099. Same Pokémon, different set, different value: the golden rule of every sealed product.

The Sylveon ex and Greninja ex boxes

The first wave’s two ex boxes bet on fan favourites: Sylveon ex in a pastel setting and Greninja ex in a burst of water, each with the 30th anniversary Pikachu stamp. The promo is tournament-playable and doubled by a jumbo card for display, plus 4 booster packs from the set. If you’re torn between opening and keeping sealed, our take on which Pokémon set is worth opening applies word for word to this kind of anniversary box.

Picking Nidorina as the Elite Trainer Box’s full-art promo is a deliberate anniversary wink: a first-generation Pokémon that rarely gets the spotlight, treated here to a full-card illustration. It’s exactly the kind of card whose price surprises everyone years later, as the 25th anniversary promos showed.

The second wave: October 2 to November 6, 2026

The second salvo spreads the lineup through the end of the year, in line with the release calendar from our 30th anniversary collector guide:

• Binder Collection (October 2) — a nine-pocket binder and 5 booster packs.
• Booster Bundle (October 2) — 6 booster packs, no accessories: the simplest way to just open packs.
• Mini Tins (October 2) — ten different illustrated tins that line up to form two complete panoramas, one day, one night. Each tin holds 2 booster packs, a sticker sheet and an art card matching its scene.
• Espeon ex and Umbreon ex Battle Decks (October 30) — a ready-to-play 60-card deck with a deck box, coin and playmat. The Espeon ex deck slips in a radiant-style Victini illustration rare, the Umbreon ex deck an electrified Zeraora.
• Ditto Premium Collection (November 6) — a colourful acrylic display stand, a foil Ditto promo and 8 booster packs.
• Day and Night Ultra-Premium Collections (November 6) — the flagships.
• Mew and Mewtwo Figure Collections (November 6) — a painted figure, a foil promo, its jumbo version and 5 booster packs.

The Mini Tins are the wave’s smartest product for memorabilia collectors: ten artworks forming two day/night panoramas, straight in line with the Day/Night theme running through the whole lineup — you’ll find it from the Pikachu ex promos already revealed all the way to the two Ultra-Premium Collections.

Day and Night Ultra-Premium Collections: the two flagships

The two Ultra-Premium Collections tower over the lineup: 29 30th Celebration booster packs plus one Classic Collection pack of 3 reprinted cards from the game’s history, a playmat, card sleeves and a deck box. The Day version pairs Pikachu ex with Espeon ex, the Night version Pikachu ex with Umbreon ex — two moods, two promo sets, and without doubt the most fought-over boxes at launch.

That’s also where the real lottery hides: the Classic Collection pack draws from the reprints of iconic cards that give the 30th anniversary set its flavour — Base Set Charizard first among them. Only three cards, but potentially the most scrutinised of the whole box.

The Mew and Mewtwo Figure Collections

The showpiece on the memorabilia side: two rival collections built around Kanto’s mythical duo. Each pairs a painted figure of Mew or Mewtwo with a foil promo, its jumbo version and 5 booster packs. The duo extends Mew and Mewtwo’s heavy presence in the set’s revealed cards — The Pokémon Company knows exactly which 1996 Pokémon still make hearts race thirty years on.

Which product should you go for first?

It depends on what you collect. To open as many packs as possible at the best ratio, the Booster Bundle and the Elite Trainer Box do the job. For exclusive promos, the Poster Collection (the legendary trio) and the ex boxes concentrate the cards you can’t pull anywhere else. For long-term sealed, the Day and Night Ultra-Premium Collections tick every box of the anniversary collectible — big contents, strong theme, event print run.

A useful reminder: every booster pack in the set holds 6 all-foil cards, including one of the 30 unique Pikachu illustrations and a foil basic Energy card. The set’s composition, its classic reprints and its Futuristic Rare rarity are detailed in our 30th Celebration set profile.

How do you track the value of everything you open?

Seventeen products, dozens of MEP promos, stamped versions and reprints: that’s exactly the scenario where a three-euro card gets mistaken for a sought-after version of the same Pokémon. The right reflex is to scan each card to know its value as you open, then let your collection total track itself while launch prices settle.
