All 209 cards. Filter by rarity, search by name, number or artist, and tap or click a card to enlarge it and read its text. There are no Uncommon, Holo Rare or Reverse Holo tiers in this set: every card is foil.
This is the same checked list as our set guide's. Card text and illustrator credits come from the TCGdex open database (MIT licence), with the numbering and rarities cross-checked against TCGplayer's catalog as carried by TCGGuy Market Insights and Bulbapedia's set list. Promo illustrators come from the official card images. Three Trainer cards (Poké Pad, Switch, Ultra Ball) and the RGB Mew do not have text in that data yet.
The 30 Classic Collection cards are in the list above, the way our set guide lists them: after the main set and the RGB Mew, under their own Classic Collection pill, each with the number it carried in its original set (Charizard still reads 4/102, Lugia 149/147). Tap a card and its details name the set it was reprinted from.
The 18 promos are listed the same way as in the guide too, under the Promo pill with the product each comes from in its details. The Simplified Chinese edition of the set has its own card list.
30th Celebration released worldwide on September 16, 2026, the first Pokémon TCG expansion with one release date everywhere. Every card is foil, including the Basic Energy. Each pack holds five foil cards plus a foil Basic Energy, and one of the five is always a Pikachu rare. There is no booster box in the international release, so packs come only inside products, from the Knock Out Collection up to the Ultra-Premium Collections. Every tier, with the numbers it occupies:
| Rarity | Cards | Numbers | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 68 | within 001 to 128 | The base of the set, in foil like every other card. |
| Rare | 18 | within 001 to 128 | The stronger non-ex Pokémon and the Trainer cards' regular prints. |
| Double Rare | 12 | within 001 to 128 | The Pokémon ex in their regular art. |
| Pikachu Rare | 30 | 023 to 052 | One in every pack: 30 Pikachu by 30 artists, also numbered 1/30 to 30/30. |
| Illustration Rare | 18 | 129 to 146 | Scene-style alternate art, each by a named illustrator. |
| Special Illustration Rare | 10 | 147 to 156 | The premium alternate-art Pokémon ex. |
| Futuristic Rare | 2 | 157 and 158 | New in this set: Mewtwo ex and Mew ex by YOSHIROTTEN. |
| RGB Rare | 3 | R, G and B /RGB | Three hidden Mew in red, green and blue, outside the printed set count. |
| Classic Collection | 30 | original set numbers | Gold-bordered reprints that keep their original set numbers. |
| Promo | 18 | ME 094 to ME 110 | Black-star promos from the products, numbered in the ME promo series. |
Figures come from TCGplayer's sample of 3,000 English packs as reported by PokéBeach, cross-checked against a 420-pack community sample that lands within a point or two of every figure. They are community-tracked, not official Pokémon numbers, and a single product can land anywhere around them.
| Pull | Odds per pack | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pikachu rare | every pack | One of the five foil cards is always a Pikachu. |
| Illustration Rare | about 1 in 5 packs | About two per Elite Trainer Box. |
| Classic Collection card | about 1 in 10 packs | Plus the three in each Ultra-Premium Collection's Classic Collection pack. |
| Special Illustration Rare | about 1 in 21 packs | Any of the ten SIRs. |
| Futuristic Rare (Mewtwo ex or Mew ex) | about 1 in 120 packs | Either of the two. |
| RGB Mew (any of the three) | not measurable yet | 3,000 packs were not enough to pin it down. |
The set guide turns those odds into products (what an Elite Trainer Box or an Ultra-Premium Collection should average) and compares them with a regular Mega Evolution set.
The three RGB Mew are the rarest and most valuable cards in the set, red first, then blue, then green. Below them sit two Classic Collection reprints, Lugia (Aquapolis, 149/147) and Charizard (Base Set, 4/102), then the Mew ex and Gengar ex Special Illustration Rares, the two Pikachu ex SIRs, Jirachi ex and Mewtwo ex. The two Futuristic Rares are rarer than the SIRs but have traded below the best of them in English so far. In the Pikachu subset, OKACHEKE's Pikachu (036/128, 14/30) is the one collectors ask for.

The international products add 18 black-star promos, numbered in the ME promo series:
The Knock Out Collection and the 2-Pack Blister carry a foil Eevee instead, which is the main-set Eevee (116/128), not a promo. The product lineup guide has every product's contents.
We do not print prices in our guides because they go stale fast. TCGGuy Market Insights tracks every 30th Celebration sealed product nightly, with a set index, seven-day movers and each product's history, and the singles page ranks every card in the set by market value.
This page is the reference list. The other sets of the Mega Evolution Series have card lists built the same way: Mega Evolution, Phantasmal Flames, Ascended Heroes, Perfect Order, Chaos Rising, Pitch Black.
Bottom line: 30th Celebration is the set to open, not the set to gamble on: a Pikachu in every pack, an illustration rare every five or so, and a short list of real chases (the RGB Mew, the Classic Collection Lugia and Charizard, the top Special Illustration Rares). Buy the single for the specific card you want, and the product for its promo.
