What is the Pokémon First Partner Illustration Collection Series 2?
The Pokémon First Partner Illustration Collection Series 2 is a collector-focused Pokémon TCG box released on 19 June 2026 as part of the 30 Years of Pokémon celebration. It gathers the first partner (starter) Pokémon of three regions — Johto, Unova and Galar — as illustration-rare-style promo cards, then bundles them with two standard booster packs and a sticker sheet. It is the second wave in a three-series run, following the original First Partner Illustration Collection that led with the earliest regions.
For UK collectors, this is one of the most approachable pieces of the 30th-anniversary line-up: it is a self-contained box that delivers guaranteed anniversary artwork rather than a random pull from a booster box. As of July 2026, the Series 2 box is in stock at Pixel Hub at £49.99, sold as 100% authentic sealed product that ships from the UK with no import fees for UK buyers.
What's inside the First Partner Illustration Collection Series 2?
Each Pokémon First Partner Illustration Collection Series 2 box contains a fixed configuration, so you always know what you are getting before you open it. The one variable is which three of the nine promo cards land in your promo pack.
- 1 promo booster pack containing 3 of 9 illustration-rare-style first partner promo cards.
- 2 Pokémon TCG booster packs from recent Scarlet & Violet / Mega Evolution-era sets.
- 1 sticker sheet featuring first partner Pokémon artwork.
The nine promo cards cover the starter trios of three regions: Johto (Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile), Unova (Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott) and Galar (Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble). Unlike the oversized jumbo cards from the Pokémon 25th anniversary, these Series 2 promos are printed at standard Pokémon card size, so they fit a normal binder and top-loader — a detail collectors specifically asked for.
Series 2 packs the promo pack, two boosters and a sticker sheet into one sealed box.
The original First Partner Illustration Collection (Series 1) leads with the earliest-region starters and sells for £69.99.

Series 1 vs Series 2: which First Partner Illustration Collection should you buy?
Both the original First Partner Illustration Collection (Series 1) and Series 2 celebrate 30 years of Pokémon, but they cover different regions and sit at different price points. If you are chasing a specific starter, region is the deciding factor; if you simply want anniversary artwork at the lowest entry price, Series 2 is the cheaper box.
| Product | Regions / starters | Contents | UK price (Pixel Hub) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Partner Illustration Collection (Series 1) | Earliest-region first partners (Kanto-led classic starters) | Promo pack + booster packs + sticker sheet | £69.99 | Collectors after the original-generation starters |
| First Partner Illustration Collection — Series 2 | Johto, Unova & Galar (Chikorita, Snivy, Grookey lines and more) | 1 promo pack (3 of 9) + 2 booster packs + 1 sticker sheet | £49.99 | Value entry into 30th-anniversary promos |

Is the First Partner Illustration Collection Series 2 worth buying?
For collectors
For collectors, the appeal is straightforward: guaranteed anniversary artwork. Rather than gambling on a booster box to pull a specific card, Series 2 gives you three of nine illustration-rare-style first partner promos every time, plus a sticker sheet that is exclusive to the collection. The standard card size also means the promos slot neatly into a binder next to the rest of your Johto, Unova and Galar cards.
For players and pack-openers
For players, the two included Pokémon TCG booster packs add current-set cards you can actually use, which softens the premium over a plain booster. It is not a competitive-value product the way a booster box is, but as a collectible-plus-boosters bundle celebrating 30 years of Pokémon, it lands as a sensible mid-range pickup — especially at the £49.99 Series 2 price rather than the higher Series 1 tier.
