30 Years. One Huge Celebration.
The Pokémon Trading Card Game is turning 30—and its biggest anniversary release is almost here.
Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration launches on 16 September 2026, marking three decades of collecting, trading and battling. Whether you have been collecting since the original era or opened your first pack this year, this release is designed to bring generations of fans together.

16 September 2026
The official launch of Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration.
A Brand-New Rarity Enters the TCG
The expansion introduces Futuristic rare cards, a new rarity featuring striking visuals created for the anniversary era. Pokémon has not revealed every surprise at once, which leaves plenty for collectors to discover as launch day approaches.
That mix of nostalgia and something genuinely new is exactly why anniversary sets attract so much attention. The cards celebrate where the hobby has been while giving collectors a glimpse of where it could go next.
Open It—or Keep It Sealed?
It is the question every collector eventually faces. Keeping an anniversary product sealed can create a brilliant display, but opening packs is where the suspense, surprise and memories happen.
Our advice is simple: collect what you genuinely enjoy. No sealed product or individual card is guaranteed to rise in value, so do not let hype or fear of missing out push you into paying more than you can comfortably afford.
Opening packs
The excitement, the artwork and the chance to create a memory with every pull.
Keeping sealed
A clean display piece that preserves the product exactly as it launched.
