Pokémon 30th Celebration: card list, rarities and most valuable cards

Released worldwide on September 16, 2026, 30th Celebration marks thirty years of the Pokémon TCG. It is unlike any other set: every card is holographic, thirty Pikachu cards each have their own illustrator, and it reprints iconic cards. Here is how the set is built, and what its cards are worth today.

30th Celebration at a glance

More products from the set arrive on October 2, October 30, November 6 and December 4, 2026 (per PokéBeach and Pokébip).

The subsets

• The 30 Pikachu (23 to 52/128): each drawn by a different illustrator. One per pack, which makes them the most common cards in the set.
• The Classic Collection: 30 reprints of landmark cards from the past thirty years, including Charizard 4, Lugia 149 and Magikarp. Kardz prices them on a separate page: 30th Celebration Classic Collection.
• The secret cards (129 to 158/128): Illustration Rares, Special Illustration Rares and the two Futuristic Rares.
• The three RGB Mews (R, G and B): the rarest cards in the set, outside the numbering.

Futuristic Rare: the new rarity

30th Celebration introduces the Futuristic Rare, illustrated by the artist YOSHIROTTEN. Only two cards have it: Mewtwo ex 157/128 and Mew ex 158/128.

The most valuable cards today

TCGplayer market prices (English, raw, ungraded), recorded by Kardz on September 29, 2026. They move every day: each name links to its live price.

Same data by rarity (average of English cards): Special Illustration Rare $76, Illustration Rare $8, one of the 30 Pikachu $1.35. The Japanese version has its own prices: Japanese 30th Celebration (M6a).

Observed pull rates

The Pokémon Company does not publish official odds. PokéBeach counted 3,000 English packs bought on TCGplayer: about 1 Illustration Rare in 5 packs, 1 Special Illustration Rare in 21, 1 Classic Collection card in 10 and 1 Futuristic Rare in 120. No RGB Mew came out of that sample. These are estimates, never official figures.

Why prices move so much right now

Two weeks after release, many packs are still unopened and new products keep coming until December. Prices of a new set often start high, then settle. For a given card, watch the 30-day trend rather than a single number: every Kardz card page shows it.
