First Partner Illustration Collection Series 3
The Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection — Series 3 is a compact, gift-ready collector box, released on 7 August 2026 to mark the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It is the third and final collection in the anniversary series, and this wave celebrates the starter Pokémon of the Hoenn, Kalos and Paldea regions.
As with the earlier waves, the star attraction is the artwork. Each region's three starters appear as brand-new Illustration Rare–style promo cards at standard card size — not the oversized jumbo format of the 2021 First Partner Packs — and each region's three cards are designed to connect edge-to-edge into one continuous panoramic scene drawn from that region's landmarks and iconography. Line up the trio and you have a single piece of display art.
What's inside every box
- 1 promo booster pack with 3 of the 9 Illustration Rare–style First Partner promos. The pack is region-locked — all three cards come from the same region (Hoenn, Kalos or Paldea).
- 2 Pokémon TCG booster packs — 1x Mega Evolution: Pitch Black and 1x Mega Evolution: Chaos Rising.
- 1 sticker sheet featuring the first partner Pokémon.
The nine promo cards
- Hoenn: Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip
- Kalos: Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie
- Paldea: Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly
There are no secret rares, alternate arts or hidden chase parallels — the nine promos are the complete set, so the chase stays simple: three cards, one region, one scene to complete.
Ideal for
Collectors chasing the 30th-anniversary promos, players who grew up with the Hoenn, Kalos or Paldea starters, and anyone after an affordable, display-friendly Pokémon gift. This closes out the full anniversary run — pair it with Series 1 (Kanto, Sinnoh, Alola) and Series 2 (Johto, Unova, Galar) to complete all 27 promo cards and nine panoramic scenes.
