The Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration (set code: M6a) Japanese Booster Box is the Japanese-market sealed booster box for Pokémon's 30th anniversary expansion — the first set in the game's thirty-year history to launch on the same day everywhere in the world, on 16 September 2026. Every single card in the set is foil, including the Basic Energy — an all-foil set at this scale has never been printed before.
It is also, quite simply, the only real booster box in this release. The English side of the 30th Celebration line never got one: there is no loose pack SKU and no traditional booster box in English, so every English pack comes wrapped inside an ETB, a collection or a bundle. If you want to open packs properly, the Japanese box is the way.
For collectors, the set is built around three things. The new Futuristic Rare (FUR) treatment, designed by Japanese artist YOSHIROTTEN, debuts on Mew ex and Mewtwo ex. Thirty different Pikachu cards, one per illustrator — including OKACHEKE, Yuu Nishida and Atsuko Nishida — appear at a rate of one in every single pack, with Pikachu ex appearing among the thirty. The set also includes 30 gold-bordered Classic Collection reprints spanning the game's history.
Box contents: 20 × Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Japanese booster packs, each containing 6 foil cards — 5 Pokémon cards (including one of 30 artist-illustrated Pikachu cards, guaranteed in every pack) and 1 foil Basic Energy card. Language: Japanese. Publisher: The Pokémon Company. Condition: Factory sealed.
Ideal for Pikachu illustration chasers, FUR hunters after Mew ex and Mewtwo ex, and Japanese-set collectors who want the highest pack count of the whole anniversary line. Recommended for ages 6 and up.
