Pokemon: 30th Celebration – ex Box (Sylveon ex)

Description

The ex Box (Sylveon ex) gives Wave 1 its daytime-themed character option. It launches worldwide on 16 September 2026, right alongside the Greninja ex version.

Two Versions Of The Same Card

You get a standard foil promo of Sylveon ex here. On top of that, an oversize foil version of the same card is included, which makes this box a strong shelf-display piece as well as a playable card.

Four Packs To Open

Every 30th Celebration booster pack is an all-foil pack. Each one holds five foil cards, plus one foil Basic Energy card. One of 30 unique Pikachu illustrations is guaranteed in every pack, too. On top of that, the set introduces a brand-new Futuristic Rare rarity for Mewtwo ex and Mew ex, along with a Classic Collection of reprints spanning three decades of the TCG. Because of that, this box still gives four genuine chances at the set’s chase cards on top of the guaranteed Sylveon ex.

A Day And Night Pairing

Sylveon ex pairs with Greninja ex across a Day and Night visual theme. That theme runs through much of the Wave 1 range, including the tin format. Prefer the Night theme? See the ex Box (Greninja ex). Want the same Pokémon in tin form instead? Check the ex Tin (Sylveon ex).
