About the 30th Celebration set

30th Celebration marks 30 years of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Every booster pack is all-foil, with five foil cards plus a foil Basic Energy, and each pack holds one of 30 unique Pikachu illustrations. The set also adds a new Futuristic Rare for Mewtwo ex and Mew ex, and a Classic Collection of reprints from three decades of the game. Booster packs aren’t sold on their own, so boxed products are the only way to open it.

Who the 30th Celebration ETB is for

An Elite Trainer Box suits players who want to start straight away and collectors who want a display piece. You get nine packs to open, a promo you can’t pull from packs, and the sleeves, dice and Energy for a first 30th Celebration deck. Sealed ETBs also hold their appeal well, so many collectors buy one to open and one to keep.
