Is it official?
The list is a credible leak but is not confirmed by The Pokémon Company as of July 2026. Treat card numbers as provisional.
Leak status (as of July 2026): These details come from early scans and Japan's official teaser site, and match cards already shown in promotional visuals — but The Pokémon Company has not formally confirmed the full list. We'll update this guide when the final set list is official.
What is the Pokémon 30th Celebration card list?
The Pokémon 30th Celebration card list is the line-up of cards in the anniversary expansion releasing worldwide — including the UK — on 16 September 2026. Based on leaked scans and Japan's official 30th Celebration teaser site, the set contains over 160 cards, built around three headline features: a 30-card "Classic Collection" of reprints, a run of 30 uniquely numbered Pikachu cards, and a set of brand-new Pokémon ex chase cards using the debut "Futuristic Rare" treatment. As of July 2026 this list is a credible leak rather than a fully confirmed reveal, so treat exact card numbers as provisional.
If you want the release dates, product line-up and pre-order details rather than the cards themselves, read our companion Pokémon 30th Celebration UK release guide. This page focuses on the cards.
What are the 30th Celebration chase cards?
The headline 30th Celebration chase cards are new-artwork Pokémon ex cards of fan-favourite Pokémon, printed in the set's premium rarities. According to the leaked set list and official promotional visuals, the most sought-after pulls collectors are watching (as of July 2026) include:
- Pikachu ex — the anniversary mascot, tied to the 30 numbered Pikachu cards.
- Mewtwo ex and Mew ex — the Kanto legendary duo, split across the set's Day and Night halves.
- Umbreon ex, Espeon ex and Sylveon ex — the Eeveelutions collectors chase hardest.
- Greninja ex and Gengar ex — strong fan favourites with dedicated product boxes.
- Charizard and "Crystal" Lugia — reprint stars carried over from the Classic Collection.
Umbreon ex, Sylveon ex and Charizard are the names driving the most pre-order demand, which is typical for anniversary sets — Eeveelutions and Charizard reliably command the highest secondary prices.
30th Celebration chase cards to watch
Umbreon ex — Double Rare (092/128)
Sylveon ex — Double Rare (071/128)
Espeon ex — Double Rare (070/128)
Greninja ex — Double Rare (021/128)
Mewtwo ex — Futuristic Rare (157/128)
Mew ex — Futuristic Rare (158/128)
Card images shown are early reveals; card numbers are provisional as of July 2026.

Where do the 30 Pikachu cards fit in?
Separate from the Classic Collection, the 30th Celebration set includes 30 uniquely numbered Pikachu cards — one guaranteed in every booster pack. Each carries a special holofoil pattern with the Pokémon 30th Anniversary logo behind the artwork, so opening any pack from this set nets you at least one anniversary Pikachu. These are distinct from Pikachu ex, which is a full chase card.

How reliable is the leaked 30th Celebration card list?
The leaked 30th Celebration card list is credible but unconfirmed as of July 2026. The Classic Collection line-up comes from Japan's official 30th Celebration teaser site, where all 30 cards flash on screen, and several chase cards match artwork already shown in official promotional material. That overlap makes the leak plausible. However, The Pokémon Company has not published the final English numbering, so exact card numbers and rarities could shift before launch.
Our advice: use this list to plan which cards you want to chase, but wait for the official reveal before treating any single card number as final. We'll refresh this guide when the confirmed set list lands.
