Pokémon is celebrating its 30th anniversary with two special Ultra-Premium Collections. The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection – Day & Night comes in two separate versions: Day featuring Espeon ex and Night featuring Umbreon ex. With 30 booster packs per box, special promo cards and themed accessories, these are among the standout products in the anniversary range.
Pokémon 30th Celebration Day & Night: What's the Difference?
There are two separate versions of the 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection. Both contain the same number of booster packs, but the promo cards and accessories have different themes.
Day: Pikachu ex and Espeon ex
The Day edition brings a bright, sunny theme. It includes foil promo cards featuring Pikachu ex and Espeon ex, along with a matching playmat, card sleeves and other accessories.
Night: Pikachu ex and Umbreon ex
The Night edition has an evening-inspired design. This box includes foil promo cards featuring Pikachu ex and Umbreon ex, plus coordinated Night-themed accessories.
Important: Day and Night are sold as separate products. Buying one Ultra-Premium Collection does not mean you receive both editions.
What's Inside the Pokémon 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection?
According to the official product information, each individual Day or Night box contains:
- 29 Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration booster packs
- 1 special 30th Celebration Classic Collection booster pack containing 3 cards
- 1 foil Pikachu ex promo card
- 1 foil Espeon ex promo card (Day) or Umbreon ex promo card (Night)
- 1 themed playmat
- 65 card sleeves
- 1 deck box
- 1 metallic coin featuring Espeon or Umbreon
- 6 damage-counter dice
- 1 code card for Pokémon TCG Live
That's 30 booster packs in total per Ultra-Premium Collection: 29 standard anniversary boosters and one special Classic Collection booster. The Classic Collection booster has different contents from a regular pack.
30 Pikachu Rare Cards: One Pikachu in Every Regular Booster
Pokémon 30th Celebration features 30 different Pikachu Rare cards, each with its own artwork. Every regular 30th Celebration booster pack contains one Pikachu Rare. A regular pack includes five foil Pokémon cards and one foil Basic Energy card.
This makes the expansion particularly exciting for collectors chasing different Pikachu illustrations. The exact Pikachu you pull is random, so no specific card is guaranteed.
Classic Collection: A Tribute to Pokémon TCG History
The special 30th Celebration Classic Collection booster contains three cards from the Classic Collection. This part of the set revisits well-known cards from Pokémon TCG's history, combining new anniversary cards with a nostalgic look back at 30 years of the game.
The three Classic Collection cards in your pack are not known in advance.
