“30th Celebration” is not one product in Japan — it is a family of them, released on two different dates under two different set codes, plus a wave of promo cards that don’t belong to either. Buyers who only know the English Elite Trainer Box are often surprised to learn how many Japanese-exclusive items exist alongside it.
This is a complete list of every Japanese 30th Celebration product: the M6a Booster Box and packs, the FUTURISTIC BOX, the Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon, and the nine-set Card Set wave — with MSRP, release dates, what’s inside each one, and where each stands on our site. A short cross-reference table at the end lines up the Western product range by date only, for readers comparing the two markets.
The 30th Celebration (M6a) expansion — Booster Box, ¥7,200 for 20 packs — released on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon (¥6,200) and the FUTURISTIC BOX (¥27,500) released in Japan the same day, as Pokémon Center products. The nine-set Card Set wave (¥1,200 each) releases October 16, 2026. Three separate promo pools exist across the range: the FUTURISTIC BOX’s own 131/132 M-P pair, the Card Set’s 27 starter promos (M-P 101–127), and the 8 YOSHIROTTEN Basic Energy that ride in every M6a pack.
Prices below are official MSRP (tax included) and our current store listings, checked September 16, 2026 and converted at ¥154/USD for reference.

Four genuinely different things sit under the “30th Celebration” name in Japan: a pack-opening expansion (M6a), a pair of constructed decks (MF), a promo-and-accessory box with no packs at all, and a wave of nine regional starter sets releasing October 16, 2026. Our Box vs FUTURISTIC BOX vs Premium Deck Set comparison covers the first three side by side in more depth.
M6a Booster Box & Packs
The M6a expansion released worldwide on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 — the first simultaneous Japan/English release in the game’s history. A pack is ¥360 for 6 foil cards; a box is 20 packs for ¥7,200. Every pack guarantees one of the 30 Pikachu (017–046, each by a different illustrator) and one YOSHIROTTEN Basic Energy.
The official card database lists 140 M6a entries: the 103-card main set (001–103, including 10 Pokémon ex and the 30 Pikachu), the 30-card Classic Collection (136–165, with 151/152 counted as one LEGEND entry) and the 8 Basic Energy. The 32-card AR/SAR/FUR secret-rare block (104–135) is compiled from official images rather than the database — all 32 have now been seen, the last five surfacing with release-day listings on SNKRDUNK, but the block is still not officially listed. In total the compiled checklist runs to 165 numbered cards plus the 8 Basic Energy (173 in all; PokeBeach’s own headline figure is 176).
Our full M6a Booster Box guide covers the sealed-vs-no-shrink choice, and the complete 173-card list has every card by number.
Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon (MF)
MSRP ¥6,200, released in Japan on September 16, 2026 as a Pokémon Center product. It is two fixed 60-card constructed decks — an Espeon ex deck and an Umbreon ex deck — built from a 44-card numbered gallery (001–044) plus 5 Basic Energy, with no random packs anywhere in the box. Every copy includes the same two guaranteed full-art chase cards, Espeon ex (043) and Umbreon ex (044), both by REND, plus two extra illustration cards, Victini (041) and Zeraora (042). The box also holds damage-counter sheets, two coins, a paper playmat and a slide-type double deck case.
Full deck contents are in our Premium Deck Set guide.
FUTURISTIC BOX
MSRP ¥27,500, released in Japan on September 16, 2026 as a Pokémon Center product, alongside the Premium Deck Set. It has no booster packs at all. Its guaranteed contents are two promo Pikachu ex cards, numbered 131 and 132 in the M-P promo range, both illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN in the same Futuristic Rare finish as the set’s Mewtwo ex (134) and Mew ex (135) secret rares — one each of two designs. Around the promos, the box packs in accessories: two coins, 12 metal damage dice, metal Poison and Burn markers, 64 deck sleeves, a flip deck case, a display frame, a rubber playmat, a flip damage-counter case and a flip playmat case.
A Pokémon Center Online additional-lottery window for the FUTURISTIC BOX ran September 11 through 16:59 JST on September 16, with results due September 30, 2026, per SNKRDUNK’s lottery roundup (September 9, 2026). PCO requires a Japanese address and account.
See our FUTURISTIC BOX guide for the full accessory list.
Card Set × 9 (October 16, 2026)
MSRP ¥1,200 per set, releasing October 16, 2026. There are nine sets, one per starter-Pokémon region from Kanto through Paldea, and each contains 3 foil promo cards (one per starter), 2 booster packs of 30th Celebration and a paper card stand that holds all three promos. The nine sets carry consecutive promo numbers in the M-P range: Kanto 101–103, Johto 104–106, Hoenn 107–109, Sinnoh 110–112, Unova 113–115, Kalos 116–118, Alola 119–121, Galar 122–124 and Paldea 125–127 — 27 promo cards in total. The illustrators for these 27 promos are not published in the official database.
Our All 9 Types bundle (68242) is sold out at the time of writing; restock requests go through Quick Order. Each starter region also has its own guide, starting from our Card Set All 9 Types overview.
Promo Numbers & the Basic Energy
Three promo pools sit outside the M6a main-set numbering, and it’s easy to mix them up:
- 131 & 132/M-P — the two FUTURISTIC BOX-exclusive Pikachu ex promos, YOSHIROTTEN Futuristic Rare finish. Box-exclusive, not part of the /103 run.
- 101–127/M-P — the 27 Card Set starter promos, three per region, releasing October 16, 2026.
- 8 Basic Energy — Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness and Metal, all illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN with no collection number of their own. One rides in every M6a booster pack, and they are also officially credited as YOSHIROTTEN’s work alongside the FUTURISTIC BOX design and the two FUR secret rares.
None of these three pools overlap with each other or with the 001–165 numbered checklist.
