Crobat G 149/103: 30th Celebration Classic Collection Reprint Guide

Crobat G 149/103: 30th Celebration Classic Collection Reprint Guide

Crobat G 149/103 is the 30th Celebration reprint of one of the defining cards of the Pokemon SP era — a Team Galactic-themed Basic that turned any Pokemon-SP deck with Poke-Turn support into a disruption engine. It brings that card back in a modern set.

The official card list for 30th Celebration (M6a) was published by The Pokemon Company on 9 September 2026, and Crobat G’s Classic Collection reprint is confirmed in it at number 149/103, illustrated by Makoto Imai. That places it in the 30-card Classic Collection block (136–165), which is already in the official database alongside the main set 001–103 and eight Basic Energy.

Key Takeaways

Crobat G 149/103 is a Classic Collection reprint of the 2009 Platinum Crobat G (47/127), illustrated by Makoto Imai in both printings — a confirmed match. It has no regulation letter and is not usable under current Standard regulations. The M6a 30th Celebration Booster Box is the Japanese set that contains it.

What Is Crobat G 149/103 in the Classic Collection?

Crobat G 149/103 sits in 30th Celebration’s Classic Collection, a 30-card block numbered 136–165 that reprints cards from across the Pokemon TCG’s history in a sparkling holofoil, gold-bordered treatment. It has no regulation letter and, per the official set rules, cards in this block are not usable under current Standard regulations — they remain legal only in whichever format their original printing is legal in.

Illustrator credit for 149/103 is Makoto Imai — the same artist who drew the original 2009 printing, a confirmed match. That makes Crobat G one of the Classic Collection slots where the reprint’s artist credit lines up exactly with the card being reprinted.

The Original Print: Platinum, 2009

The card being reprinted at 149/103 is Crobat G, card 47/127 from Platinum, the English expansion released 11 February 2009 (its Japanese origin is “Galactic’s Conquest,” card 041/096). It was an Uncommon-rarity card, illustrated by Makoto Imai — matching the illustrator credited for the 149/103 reprint.

Why Crobat G Made the Classic Collection

Crobat G’s era-defining status is well documented: Bulbapedia describes it as “one of the most popular cards of its time,” a card that “shined in Pokemon-SP decks that already had Poke-Turn support available.” Flash Bite let players chip in free damage the instant Crobat G hit the Bench, and Toxic Fang’s doubled poison damage made it a nuisance attacker even at zero Retreat Cost. The card’s artwork also depicts Team Galactic boss Cyrus with his Crobat, and the attack name Toxic Fang references the in-game move Poison Fang — the kind of flavour-and-format crossover the Classic Collection is built to spotlight.

For Context

Crobat G sits alongside 29 other Classic Collection reprints spanning 1996 through the 2020s, including its Lost Link-era stablemate Gengar (Prime) at 150/103. See our full 30th Celebration reprints list for the complete block.

As of 9 September 2026 the AR/SAR/FUR secret-rare block (104–135) was outside the official card database and the AR and SAR illustrators were unpublished (the two FUR cards are by YOSHIROTTEN); Classic Collection cards like Crobat G are one of the few places in this set where the illustrator credit is confirmed to match between old and new printings.

Market: Comparable Graded Crobat Prints

Other graded Crobat prints are useful reference points, even though none of them is this exact 2009 Pokemon SP print. On SNKRDUNK, the original Japanese Crobat G (“Galactic’s Conquest” 041/096) showed asks (any condition) of ¥4,000 and ¥2,600 (single listings each) on 11 September 2026 — not a graded price, and not for the 30th Celebration reprint.
