The Japanese 30th CELEBRATION booster box (M6a) released on September 16, 2026, and our store offers it in two options: Sealed at ¥28,030 (~$182) and No Shrink at ¥25,365 (~$165), priced as of September 30, 2026. The official pages print the pack price, ¥360 for six foil cards, and the amount a shop or marketplace seller asks for a box can differ from both.
The anniversary range also includes the Premium Deck Set starring Espeon ex and Umbreon ex, the YOSHIROTTEN-designed FUTURISTIC BOX, and nine starter-trio Card Sets arriving October 16.
Select Sealed or No Shrink on the M6a product page to see that option’s price, availability and dispatch information.
Per the official M6a page, a pack costs ¥360 (~$2) and holds six foil cards, with one Basic Energy in every pack; The Pokémon Company has not published pull rates. The lowest SNKRDUNK asks as of September 30, 2026 were ¥24,500 (~$159) for a sealed box and ¥22,850 (~$148) for a No Shrink box; these are asking prices, not completed sales and not our store prices. Our options are Sealed at ¥28,030 (~$182) and No Shrink at ¥25,365 (~$165). Compare the same condition before ordering.
- Store prices for the M6a box options, the 25th Anniversary products and the PSA 10 cards are dated September 30, 2026.
- SNKRDUNK box asks for September 30, 2026 sit beside the September 16 and September 18 figures.
- Card-count wording follows the official database: 140 entries, highest number 165/103.
- Full card list: browse the 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) card list for images and numbering.
Japanese official prices below include tax. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate. Store prices are dated September 30, 2026 and market asks carry their own dates. Shipping, currency conversion and destination charges can change the amount you pay.
What’s Inside the 30th Celebration Booster Box and the Rest of the Line
The four principal Japanese products span two release dates. The official Japanese anniversary product page and its sister pages list the following tax-inclusive prices:
| Product | Release Date | Official Price (tax incl.) | USD (~) |
|---|---|---|---|
| M6a Booster Pack (6 cards/pack) | Sep 16, 2026 | ¥360 | ~$2 |
| Premium Deck Set: Espeon ex & Umbreon ex | Sep 16, 2026 | ¥6,200 | ~$40 |
| FUTURISTIC BOX | Sep 16, 2026 | ¥27,500 | ~$179 |
| Card Set (9 starter-trio variants) | Oct 16, 2026 | ¥1,200 each | ~$8 each |
The official Japanese page prices M6a at ¥360 per six-card pack and states that every pack holds one Basic Energy, also designed by YOSHIROTTEN. It prints no box price and no packs-per-box count, so both are not confirmed on the official pages; the box prices below are dated marketplace asks and our store options. pokemon.com’s product showcase describes the English pack as five foil cards, including one of 30 unique Pikachu illustrations, plus one foil Basic Energy card.
The English expansion page on tcg.pokemon.com states that every card in a 30th Celebration booster pack is foil. The Japanese set brings back thirty cards in special anniversary printings, the Classic Collection, including a Charizard reprinted from the very first Japanese expansion pack in 1996 and a Pikachu & Zekrom-GX reprint from the Sun & Moon era. For the complete rundown of confirmed cards and rarities, see our 30th CELEBRATION card list & chase cards guide.
The Premium Deck Set pairs two 60-card ready-to-play decks — one built around Espeon ex, one around Umbreon ex — with damage counters, two Pokemon coins, a play mat, a two-deck storage tin, and beginner/player guides. Related Pokemon referenced on the official product page include Eevee, Victini, Zoroark, and Zeraora. Our Premium Deck Set guide lists both decks card for card.
The FUTURISTIC BOX is a Pokemon Center Online-first item, with the possibility of wider Pokemon Center/store distribution later, per the official page. It bundles two Pikachu ex promo cards (one each, in a FUR-spec design), two Pokemon coins, twelve metal damage-counter dice, metal poison/burn markers, sixty-four special deck shields, a flip deck case, a special display frame set, a rubber play mat, a flip damage-counter case, and a flip play mat case. Full breakdown in our FUTURISTIC BOX guide.
The Card Set is nine separate products — one per starter trio, from Kanto through Paldea — each containing three foil starter promo cards, two M6a booster packs, and a paper stand. It releases a month after the main line, on October 16, 2026. The Premium Deck Set, the FUTURISTIC BOX and the Card Set are sold out at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order.
The New Rarity: FUR (Futuristic Rare)
M6a introduces a rarity tier that had not existed before in the Japanese Pokemon TCG: FUR, or Futuristic Rare. The official M6a page names it for Mew ex and Mewtwo ex, both illustrated by the graphic artist YOSHIROTTEN, and pokemon.com’s set page lists two Futuristic rare cards. It is built around vivid color treatments and 3D-style graphic effects.
- Mew ex (135/103) — Ability “Memory Helix,” which lets Mew ex use the attacks of any of your Benched Pokemon (Energy still required), per PokeBeach’s translation.
- Mewtwo ex (134/103) — Attack “Photon Bullets,” which deals 50 damage to each of your opponent’s Pokemon ex, per PokeBeach’s translation.
The official page prints no card numbers for these two in its text; 134 and 135 appear in the file names of the official card images. The official September 9 card list covers the main set, the Classic Collection and Energy, not the FUR numbers.
The two Pikachu ex promo cards packed into the FUTURISTIC BOX use the same YOSHIROTTEN visual language. The official FUTURISTIC BOX page describes them as FUR-spec Pikachu ex promo cards, and SNKRDUNK lists them as 131/M-P and 132/M-P; the official image file names show 131 and 132.
The official M6a card database was updated on September 9, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, it lists 140 entries: all 103 main-set cards (001–103), 29 entries covering the 30 Classic Collection numbers 136–165 (151 and 152 share one entry as the two halves of the Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND card), and 8 Basic Energy. The highest collection number printed in the database is 165/103. The official database does not list numbers 104–135, the 32 secret-rare slots, and the official 30th site shows images for twelve of them without a rarity label. Per Bulbapedia’s Japanese list, as of September 30, 2026, the set runs to 165 numbered cards, 3 RGB Mew rows and 8 Basic Energy rows; PokeBeach’s headline figure is 176, and no official page prints a set total. For the full breakdown by rarity tier and number, see our card list guide.
Chase Cards Worth Watching For
The official card list published September 9, 2026 gives a number to most of the cards below. Lowest SNKRDUNK asks are as of September 30, 2026, and are asks, not sales:
- Charizard — Classic Collection 137/103, a special-treatment reprint of the card from Japan’s original 1996 expansion pack (official caption). Lowest ask on SNKRDUNK: ¥18,000 (~$117).
- Pikachu & Zekrom-GX — Classic Collection 160/103, a reprint from the Sun & Moon-era Team Up set. Lowest ask: ¥2,000 (~$13).
- Mew ex (FUR 135/103) & Mewtwo ex (FUR 134/103) — the set’s two Futuristic Rares, detailed above. Lowest asks: Mew ex FUR ¥7,900 (~$51), Mewtwo ex FUR ¥6,000 (~$39).
- Ho-Oh (007), Lugia (097), Groudon (068), Kyogre (013), Reshiram (008), Zekrom (050) — main-set Legendary Pokemon.
- Zacian (085) and Zamazenta (086) — main-set cards with full card text.
- The 30 artist Pikachu (017–046) — thirty illustrators each drew one Pikachu foil card, all listed in the official database. pokemon.com states that each English booster pack includes one of the 30 Pikachu illustrations; the Japanese page names the thirty cards without a per-pack statement. Completing the full run is a project in its own right.
- Espeon ex (043/040) & Umbreon ex (044/040) — the Premium Deck Set’s full-art headliners (illustrator REND). Lowest asks: Espeon ex ¥3,800 (~$25) and Umbreon ex ¥9,900 (~$64). The Premium Deck Set guide has the full lists.
- Pikachu ex (x2, FUR-spec promos, 131 and 132) — exclusive to the FUTURISTIC BOX, sharing the YOSHIROTTEN design treatment used on the FUR cards.
Beyond the main set, the secret-rare block (104–135) is described in compiled checklists (September 2026), not in the official database: Art Rares (104–123), Special Art Rares (124–133, ex versions of Pokemon already in the main set) and the 2 Futuristic Rares above. Lowest SNKRDUNK asks as of September 30, 2026 include Gengar ex SAR 131 at ¥6,480 (~$42), Mew ex SAR 129 at ¥6,500 (~$42), Mewtwo ex SAR 128 at ¥3,777 (~$25) and Sylveon ex SAR 130 at ¥3,500 (~$23).
The RGB Mew: Pulled, Not Officially Acknowledged
PokeBeach reported on September 12, updated September 15, that red, green and blue Mew cards numbered R/RGB, G/RGB and B/RGB had appeared in early-opened 30th Celebration products and a Pokemon TCG Live update. These are separately reported cards outside the /103 numbering. As of September 30, 2026, the official Japanese product page does not mention an RGB Mew card or give odds for it.
SNKRDUNK lists all three, and the lowest asks as of September 30, 2026 were Mew R/RGB ¥399,000 (~$2,591), Mew B/RGB ¥299,755 (~$1,946) and Mew G/RGB ¥270,000 (~$1,753). A reported sighting does not establish a pull rate or a guaranteed box slot. For the source trail, images and later reporting, see our RGB Mew coverage.
M6a Box Prices: Marketplace Asks and Our Store Options
The M6a box price shows up as several different numbers. Match the number to the buying route before comparing it.
| Price type | What it tells you | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Official pack price: ¥360 (~$2) | The tax-inclusive retail price printed on the official M6a page | A box price and packs-per-box count are not printed there |
| Marketplace asking price | A seller’s advertised amount for a specified condition on a recorded date | Not a completed-sale result or a guaranteed price for your order |
| Our store offer | The price and stock of your selected option on the M6a product page | Check shipping and the dispatch terms before payment |
Dated SNKRDUNK observations: the Sealed and No Shrink rows are separate condition listings. All amounts below are lowest displayed asking prices recorded on the dates shown.
| Japanese M6a box condition | September 16, 2026 | September 18, 2026 | September 30, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sealed | ¥17,500 (~$114) | ¥20,994 (~$136) | ¥24,500 (~$159) |
| No Shrink | ¥13,290 (~$86) | ¥16,900 (~$110) | ¥22,850 (~$148) |
The observations do not establish a market floor or explain why prices differed. Marketplace fees, shipping and a destination’s import charges also matter when comparing an order total. The SNKRDUNK figures are not Samurai Sword Tokyo offers.
Our store offers the box as one product with two options, priced as of September 30, 2026: Sealed at ¥28,030 (~$182) and No Shrink at ¥25,365 (~$165).
Sealed versus No Shrink: compare the seller’s exact condition description and photos. A No Shrink listing does not include the outer shrink-wrap. Do not treat it as the same collectible condition as a shrink-wrapped box, or infer a particular pull result from the packaging description. For a specific card, compare a single-card purchase with the cost of random packs.
Release date and dispatch date are different. M6a released September 16, and each option’s dispatch terms are shown on its product page. Another retailer’s lottery delivery window does not set the shipping date for an order placed with us.
Pokemon Center Online’s September lottery: applications ran September 11 to September 16 and are closed. The official September 4 notice and timetable schedule September 30 results for the M6a box, Card Set and FUTURISTIC BOX, with winner ordering through October 6 at 16:59 JST. The notice restricts delivery to Japan and ordering to winners; it is not an open international retail offer.

Japanese M6a “30th CELEBRATION” boosters released on September 16, 2026; the Premium Deck Set (Espeon ex & Umbreon ex) and the FUTURISTIC BOX released the same day in Japan only. The nine-variant Card Set follows on October 16, 2026, one month after the main line.
What is FUR (Futuristic Rare)?
FUR is a new rarity introduced in this set, illustrated by the graphic artist YOSHIROTTEN, with vivid color treatment and 3D-style graphics.

What is the RGB Mew?
PokeBeach reported red, green and blue Mew cards numbered R/RGB, G/RGB and B/RGB in September 2026, outside the /103 run. They are separate from Mew ex FUR 135/103 and SAR 129/103. As of September 30, 2026, the official Japanese product page does not identify them or provide pull odds.

As of September 30, 2026, our store lists the S8a 25th Anniversary Collection booster box, the Collection Special Set and the Golden Box with prices. Check the product pages and confirm that your chosen items can be dispatched together, since each page shows its own terms.
What is the difference between the Sealed and No Shrink options?
They are separate condition listings. No Shrink describes a box without its outer shrink-wrap, so read the condition description and photos. As of September 30, 2026, our store prices Sealed at ¥28,030 (~$182) and No Shrink at ¥25,365 (~$165). Compare the same condition when checking marketplace asks.
Are the SNKRDUNK box figures completed sales?
No. The figures are the lowest displayed asking prices on September 16, September 18 and September 30, 2026: sealed boxes at ¥17,500, ¥20,994 and ¥24,500, and No Shrink boxes at ¥13,290, ¥16,900 and ¥22,850. They are not completed-sale results, current quotes or our store prices.
Does a No Shrink box guarantee the same pulls as a Sealed box?
Neither packaging description guarantees a particular rare card. No Shrink describes a box without its outer shrink-wrap; read the seller’s condition description. The Pokémon Company has not published pull rates, so nothing official establishes a FUR, SAR or Classic Collection count per box.
