Full Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Product Lineup, Release Schedule and Preorder Guide
The Pokémon 30th Celebration official release date of September 16, 2026 may still be a few months away, but already the Pokémon Company is giving us an early look at everything to be excited about from this set. While we’ve already had a sneak peek at the Pokémon 30th Celebration card list, we now know every product that will be releasing along with the set – and even a look at additional cards coming out.
While preorders for the set are not officially open yet, I’ll be updating this guide with additional links and information to help you find your Pokémon 30th Celebration products at the best price. Stay tuned and check back often for the latest Pokémon 30th Celebration preorder information!
30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box
Releasing September 16, 2026
We’ll start with what is typically one of the most sought after products from any Pokémon TCG set: the ETB. Only, calling the 30th Celebration ETB just an “ETB” feels like selling it short. After all, it’s the Pokémon 30th ETB: and it’s likely to break records for one of the most desirable products of its kind.
The Pokémon 30th Celebration EB includes:
9 Pokémon 30th Celebration booster packs
A full-art promo card featuring Nidorina
65 card sleeves
16 foil Basic Energy cards
Damage-counter dice
Coin-flip die
Plastic coin
A sturdy box with six dividers to store everything
Player’s guide
Nidorina ETB promo revealed
Although there is a lot to be excited about with this ETB as with any new ETB, one of the most exciting goodies included in these boxes is the exclusive promo. We’ve already had the promo officially revealed for this set, and it’s a gorgeous Nidorina card.
Pokémon Center 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box
Releasing September 16, 2026
If you’re looking for a little extra value, you can pick up this Pokémon Center Exclusive 30th Celebration ETB and benefit from two extra packs (for a total of eleven) as well as a special stamped Nidorina card. Pokémon Center ETBs are well known for their enhanced value but also for how hard they are to get. When I attempted to get mine during the last Pokémon Center drop for Pitch Black, the wait time was originally 9 hours. Only after waiting the timer out, the entire Pokémon Center TCG site crashed.
I’ll be sharing more info about when the Pokémon Center preorders open for 30th Celebration as well as alternative ways to purchase what is going to be an insanely in-demand product even by Pokémon TCG standards.
30th Celebration Tech Sticker Collection
Releasing September 16, 2026
The ETB isn’t the only product releasing on the official Pokémon 30th Celebration release day: several more products will be available, including these two very cool tech sticker collections. While typically the draw of Tech Sticker Collection sets like these are their relative affordability, given the incredible markups we are seeing on the secondary card market for just the Pokémon 30th Celebration Booster packs (more on that in a minute), I wouldn’t bank on these being easy to find just because they contain relatively few booster packs.
So what do the Tech Sticker Collections come with?
Well, the most important thing are the three 30th Celebration booster packs. Next are the exclusive promos featuring Lucario and Alolan Exeggutor containing the Pokémon 30th stamp.
Lastly, of course, are the Tech Stickers themselves, these featuring the Pokémon from the promos as well as this set’s mascots – Pikachu, Mew and Mewtwo.
30th Celebration 2-Pack Blister
Releasing September 16, 2026
Eevee is of course an adorable Pokémon, and a fairly important one for this set given how many Eeveelutions are getting cards. What makes this Eevee particularly special, however, is that it will be a foil card: making it highly desirable on the secondary card market. Given its exclusive nature and (again) the incredible demand, you could see this nondescript Eevee fetch highly impressive prices online.
One interesting thing to notice about this foil Eevee card is that it is actually not a black star promo but a foil treatment of a card from the main Pokémon 30th set list.
30th Celebration Knock Out Collection featuring Eevee
Releasing September 16, 2026
The blister isn’t the only way to get the Eevee foil card, however. The very same card will also be available in the Knock Out Collection for this set. What is a Knock Out Collection? Essentially it’s a special product that includes a promo card (like Eevee) and two booster packs. It looks like a deck because of the packaging but it’s really more of fun product for collectors.
30th Celebration Poster Collection
Releasing September 16, 2026
And now we’re getting to the really fun stuff: the Pokémon 30th Celebration Poster Collection! I’m a sucker for these Pokémon Poster Collections that typically release special Pokémon TCG sets, so you know I’m going to try and bag this particular product if I can. While this set comes with three gorgeous promos featuring the original Three Legendary Birds, it also comes with three Pokémon 30th Celebration Booster Packs. Just thinking about how hot this product is going to be sends shivers down my spine.
30th Celebration Pokémon ex Box—Sylveon ex & Greninja ex
Releasing September 16, 2026
The Pokémon Company seems to have learned its lesson from the Ascended Heroes release that saw an incredibly limited number of products getting released on the official release day. As you can see from this guide so far, several products will be available on September 16, 2026, with the last of them being these Sylveon ex and Greninja ex boxes.
Each box will contain four packs of Pokémon 30th Celebration, and two promos: one standard size promo and one jumbo of Sylveon ex and Greninja ex.
30th Celebration Binder Collection
Releasing October 2, 2026
Now moving onto the products that will be releasing in early October: we have this 30th Celebration Binder Collection. Not only does this product come with an exclusive 30th Anniversary binder, you’ll get a whopping five 30th Celebration Booster Packs to start building out your collection.
30th Celebration Booster Bundle
Releasing October 2, 2026
Outside of the Elite Trainer Box, the Booster Bundle is your best bet to get the maximum number of 30th Celebration packs in a single go. Because Pokémon 30th is a special set rather than a “main” expansion, it doesn’t come with Booster Boxes. This makes the Booster Bundle particularly attractive to collectors and investors who can get far more bang for their buck than they otherwise would picking up loose packs.
30th Celebration Mini Tins
Releasing October 2, 2026
Not only do these tins feature intriguing illustrations with some of our favorite Pokémon (celebrating the “day and night” theme that’s core to the set), they also include two 30th Celebration packs inside them, a sticker sheet, and an art card (not an art Pokémon card but rather an art insert that acts as a little bonus).
Arguably the best way to purchase these (assuming you aren’t on a budget) is to simply pick up a set of five of these mini tins – or even all ten – at once. I’ll be sharing links to listings where you can preorder the complete set of 30th Celebration tins once those preorders go live.
30th Celebration Battle Deck – Espeon ex and Umbreon ex
Also fitting the set’s day and night theme, we have these two battle decks releasing at the end of October, 2026. These themed decks are Level 2 “Battle Decks,” meaning they are more likely intended for casual play rather than being Pokémon League ready decks. That being said, they’ll still likely be highly desirable thanks to their iconic Eeveelution cards and the addition of two mythical Pokémon promos – that are admittedly quite gorgeous – featuring Zeraora and Victini.
30th Celebration Ditto Premium Collection
Releasing November 6, 2026
Ditto is getting its own Premium Collection! This box includes an impressive eight 30th Celebration Booster packs, putting it almost in the same league as the ETB in terms of delivered value. Meanwhile, the Ditto Illustration Rare style promo is quite unique. As is the acrylic stand the box set comes with featuring some of Pokémon’s most recognizable characters.
30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection—Day & Night
Releasing November 6, 2026
Now getting to the really meaty 30th Celebration products: the Ultra-Premium Day and Night Collection boxes. These are going to be absolutely massive products, celebrating the two Eeveelutions that evolve at distinct points of the day: Espeon during the day, Umbreon during the night.
Above all, these are the products that the previously revealed Espeon/Umbreon ex promos will be included in.
As gorgeous as these two promos are, the boxes will also be including the also previously revealed Pikachu ex Futuristic Rare cards.
The daytime Pikachu ex promo card and the Espeon promo will be included in the Pokémon “Day” box while the Umbreon and the nighttime Pikachu ex will be included in the “Night” box.
But these Ultra-Premium Collection boxes aren’t just about the stellar promos: several hidden goodies you wouldn’t expect are also hiding inside, including a playmat, card sleeves, deck box, and other accessories.
Of course, you can’t forget about the packs. Each Ultra-Premium Collection will also come with 29 30th Celebration packs, making these products the single highest concentration of packs of any from the set.
And to top it all off, the Pokémon Company has revealed that these unique products will even be including a seemingly exclusive 30th Celebration Classic Collection booster pack “that contains three cards from the expansion’s Classic Collection.”
Right now, it’s hard to quantify just how insanely valuable these box sets are going to be. And while I’ll be sharing live preorder price data once it becomes available, I would not be surprised to see these boxes skyrocket in market price – even tearing past the $1000 mark.
30th Celebration Figure Collection—Mew & Mewtwo
Releasing November 6, 2026
Last but not least is the special Mew & Mewtwo Figure Collection. While not nearly the blockbuster product that the Ultra-Premium Collection undeniably is, these should still be a hit amongst collectors, especially those who enjoy the gimmick of collecting a few Mew/Mewtwo promos alongside their figurines.
I’ve been writing about the Pokémon TCG for years, and I can confidently say that this is one of the biggest product drops I’ve ever seen. Pokémon 30th Celebration is a massively hyped set. Already online, a single 30th Celebration Booster Pack is fetching over $150, with many confirmed market prices.
I’ve said before that there’s a storm coming. The full product lineup reveal for the set doesn’t just confirm my suspicions: it magnifies them. Check back often as more market data and preorder info becomes available!
