The 30th Celebration expansion commemorates three decades of the Pokémon Trading Card Game with a set composed entirely of foil cards. Among its main attractions is a 30-card Pikachu subset featuring distinct artwork from 30 different artists, alongside a Futuristic Rare card category illustrated by artist YOSHIROTTEN that features cards such as Mew ex and Mewtwo ex.
The expansion also includes a nostalgic Classic Collection subset reprinting 30 historic cards from throughout TCG history, each bearing a 30th anniversary emblem. These reprints appear as rare pulls within standard booster packs and are also distributed through specialized three-card Classic Collection booster packs.
