What Is Pikachu 031/103 in 30th Celebration?
Pikachu 031/103 is a main-set card in M6a 30th CELEBRATION, confirmed in the official card database with its JP name (ピカチュウ) and illustrator credit. It’s one of the thirty cards in the set’s dedicated Pikachu subset (017–046), where every card carries a different illustrator and a different attack, and every pack of the set guarantees exactly one of them.
031/103 has an official card-database image but no dedicated image on the 30th anniversary site yet. The database image is shown below.
Card Details: Two Attacks and the Numbers
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Card number | 031/103 (15/30 in the Pikachu subset) |
| JP name | ピカチュウ |
| Type | Lightning |
| HP | 70 |
| Stage | Basic |
| Illustrator | Yuu Nishida |
| Status | Official card database (confirmed number, name, illustrator, and image); no dedicated 30th anniversary site image yet |
The card text, per PokeBeach’s 9 September 2026 translation of the official database entry, gives 031/103 two attacks — unusual for this subset, where most of the thirty Pikachu carry only one:
- [C] Energized Tail — Search your deck for an Energy card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your deck.
- [L][C] Pika Punch — 30 damage.
Weakness is Fighting (×2), there’s no listed Resistance, and retreat cost is 2 Energy, where most of the thirty retreat for 1.
Yuu Nishida’s Illustrator Credit
The official card database credits Yuu Nishida as the illustrator of 031/103. As career background, per Bulbapedia, Nishida won the Pokémon Card Game Illustration Grand Prix, which led to her first card illustration, Gardevoir. She has illustrated 69 TCG cards total, plus 28 cards for Pokémon TCG Pocket, created the booster-pack artwork for VMAX Climax, and works with a touchscreen tablet and Clip Studio Paint. For more of her work, see our Yuu Nishida cards guide.
Note that a different artist, Atsuko Nishida, illustrated a separate card in this same subset — card 041/103, covered in its own guide — and the two share a surname but are not the same person.
Where 031 Sits in the 30-Pikachu Subset
At 15/30, 031/103 sits almost exactly in the middle of the illustrator sequence, which runs 01/30 (card 017) through 30/30 (card 046). Here are two other cards from the same subset that additionally have a dedicated image on the 30th anniversary site — shown purely as examples of how the subset is presented, not as 031 itself.
030/103 is the card directly before 031 in the sequence — it’s covered in its own guide here: Pikachu 030/103 by OKACHEKE. For the complete list of all thirty numbers and illustrators, see our 30 Pikachu illustrators guide.
How 30th Celebration’s Full Numbering Breaks Down
031/103 sits inside the main set, the block of 30th CELEBRATION that’s confirmed in the official database. The official card list published on 9 September covers the main set 001–103, the Classic Collection 136–165 and the eight Basic Energy; the AR/SAR/FUR block 104–135 is compiled from official images and marketplace listings and is still not in the official database, even though all 32 of its cards have now been seen.
| Block | Numbers | Count | Status, 16 Sep 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main set (incl. the 30 Pikachu, 017–046) | 001–103 | 103 | Official database |
| AR (Art Rare) | 104–123 | 20 | Compiled; all 20 now seen |
| SAR (Special Art Rare) | 124–133 | 10 | Compiled; all 10 now seen (release-day listings for 128 Mewtwo ex, 129 Mew ex, 131 Gengar ex) |
| FUR (Futuristic Rare) | 134–135 | 2 | Compiled; shown |
| Classic Collection | 136–165 | 30 | Official database (marked C, not Standard-legal) |
Total: 165 numbered cards plus eight Basic Energy (173 in all; PokeBeach’s headline figure is 176). All 32 secret rares (104–135) have now been seen — the last five (including 119 Kommo-o AR and 121 Ditto AR) surfaced with release-day listings on SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026 — but the block is still not in the official card database. For the full breakdown of the secret-rare numbering, see our numbering explainer.
Box Structure and What the Market Shows
Every pack of 30th CELEBRATION is guaranteed 1 of the 30 Pikachu and 1 YOSHIROTTEN Basic Energy card, among six foil cards total, at ¥360 per pack. A box holds 20 packs for ¥7,200 tax-in MSRP.
PokeBeach reported, from an official box opening shown before release, that one 20-pack box held 20 of the 30 Pikachu, 2 Classic Collection cards, 4 AR, 1 SAR and 1 FUR — one opening, not a published rate. The Pokémon Company has not published pull rates for this set, and we’re not converting that single opening into a percentage.
On the secondary market, SNKRDUNK’s lowest sealed-box ask has moved sharply since the card list went public: ¥47,200 on September 1, ¥28,200 on September 10 and ¥17,500 on release day, September 16, 2026 — still about 2.4× the ¥7,200 MSRP; the no-shrink box ask moved from ¥25,800 (September 10) to ¥13,290 (September 16). Singles are now listed on SNKRDUNK, but 031/103 has no dated marketplace figure in this update.
