Zacian & Zamazenta 30th Celebration Card Guide (085 & 086/103)

Zacian 085/103: Revealed Card Text

Zacian is listed directly in Pokemon’s official card database (published September 9, 2026), credited to illustrator Akira Egawa — a name graded-card collectors will recognise. It’s a Metal-type Basic Pokemon with 130 HP per PokeBeach’s translated card text, and two attacks:

• Hardened Blade — 20+: does 40 more damage if this Pokemon has a Pokemon Tool attached.
• Slashing Strike — 120: this Pokemon can’t use this attack during your next turn.

That Tool-attachment bonus is a neat thematic touch for the sword legendary, and 120 for a single-prize card is respectable, though the self-lock keeps it firmly in casual territory. It carries Weakness Fire ×2, Resistance Grass −30, Retreat cost 2. Rarity itself remains aggregator-reported as Rare rather than an official credit — the official database entry gives number and illustrator only, not a rarity symbol.

For every earlier printing of the wolf duo, from base V cards to the premium alternate arts, our Zacian & Zamazenta cards guide maps the whole line.

The Legendary Line-Up in 30th Celebration

The official product page groups Zacian and Zamazenta into a dedicated feature: “legendary Pokemon met across past adventures appear as cards”. The full set of legendaries pictured there is:

Zacian and Zamazenta are one of two consecutive pairs in the legendary block (Ho-Oh 007 / Reshiram 008 is the other), which makes them the easiest sub-set within the legendary block to complete as a display pair. If you are chasing the whole block, the Hoenn weather titans get the same paired treatment in spirit — see our Kyogre & Groudon 30th Celebration guide for their revealed text. Worth noting: the official product page highlights these eight in its own dedicated feature, but the full 103-card database lists more than twenty Legendary and Mythical Pokemon across the set, so this table is the curated feature list, not the full legendary count.

Rarity and Value Expectations

Honest framing first: these are not investment cards on current evidence. Aggregators report both as plain Rare, and neither appears in snkrdunk’s hit-card price predictions for the set (updated 29 August 2026), which concentrate on the FUR and SAR slots. Every card in the set is foil, so even the Rares will display well — but expect Zacian and Zamazenta to be affordable pulls rather than box-justifying hits.

• A confirmed Zacian V reprint. The official card list for M6a’s 30-card Classic Collection reprint block, published September 9, 2026, confirms Zacian V from Sword & Shield at 161/103, illustrated by 5ban Graphics — this was previously only a PokeBeach-inferred community report, but it’s now in the official database alongside the rest of the 136–165 block.
• Sealed-box asks now exist. Unofficial pre-release figures for a sealed M6a box ran from snkrdunk’s ¥18,000-plus prediction to listing-site figures in the ¥30,000–60,000 range, before release. On SNKRDUNK, the lowest listed ask for a sealed M6a box (shrink) fell from ¥47,200 on September 1 to ¥28,200 on September 10, and ¥17,500 on release day, September 16, 2026 — about 2.4× the ¥7,200 MSRP. These are asks, not settled sales.

If you want a sense of how anniversary-set Rares and their bigger siblings behaved last time, our S8a 25th Anniversary pull-rate and best-cards breakdown is the closest historical comparison.

Where to Buy from Japan

We ship Japanese sealed product and graded singles worldwide from Tokyo with tracked delivery. For the wolves and the wider 30th line-up, here is the practical route:

• M6a 30th Celebration box — the product page is currently listed at ¥25,000 (~$162), pre-order (sealed; the no-shrink option is sold out at the time of this update), shipping from Tokyo after release.
• Sealed Japanese boxes — browse the full Pokemon sealed booster box collection, including the anniversary boxes above.
• Graded legendaries — our PSA 10 collection carries slabbed Japanese cards if you’d rather buy the hit than hunt it, and the wider Pokemon card collection covers everything else.

Now that M6a has landed, Zacian 085/103 and Zamazenta 086/103 put both Galar legendaries — in matching foil, at consecutive numbers — on the same binder page.
