Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box

The Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is the flagship retail box of 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. 30th Celebration runs to over 160 cards internationally, and every single one of them is foil, including the Basic Energy. An all-foil set at this scale has never been printed before.

For collectors, the set is built around three things. The new Futuristic Rare (FUR) treatment, designed by Japanese artist YOSHIROTTEN, debuts on Mewtwo ex, Mew ex and Pikachu ex. The Classic Collection brings thirty gold-bordered reprints spanning Base Set through Paldea Evolved, each carrying a "30" Pikachu stamp. And thirty different Pikachu cards, one per illustrator, appear at a rate of one in every single pack — there is no pack of this set that doesn't contain one.

The Elite Trainer Box is the practical way in. Nine packs is the highest pack count of any day-one 30th Celebration product at standard retail, and the full-art Nidorina promo is a deliberate wink: Nidorina is Pokédex number 30. The rest is the usual playable kit — sleeves, dice, energy and a storage box you will still be using sets from now.
