30th CELEBRATION (M6a) released worldwide on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, completing a 32-card block of Art Rares, Special Art Rares and Futuristic Rares that stayed only partly revealed until that day. Ditto AR 121/103 was one of the last five secret rares to surface, appearing in a SNKRDUNK listing with a card image on release day itself.
This guide covers what’s confirmed about Ditto in 30th CELEBRATION: the regular print’s card text and illustrator, how the AR relates to it, its English-side product counterpart, and what the release-day market and our own store show since the set went live.
Ditto AR 121/103 is the Art Rare version of the regular Ditto card at 093/103, a Basic Colorless-type Pokémon with a coin-flip Transform effect. It’s one of the five secret rares that stayed unseen until release day, with a first release-day ask of ¥1,000 on SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026. Our M6a 30th CELEBRATION Booster Box is currently listed as a pre-order at ¥25,000 (~$162) sealed.
All figures below are dated as stated — the official card database (checked 2026-09-16), PokeBeach’s September 9, 2026 translation, PokeBeach’s June 30, 2026 English lineup article, and SNKRDUNK asking prices dated September 16, 2026.
What Is Ditto AR 121/103?
Ditto AR 121/103 is an Art Rare print in M6a 30th CELEBRATION. AR and SAR illustrators are unpublished (the two FUR cards are by YOSHIROTTEN), and there is no embeddable official image for the AR print itself — SNKRDUNK’s listing images are third-party and aren’t used here. What follows shows the regular print of the same card, 093/103, illustrated by Toshinao Aoki; the AR artwork is not pictured in this article.
121/103 sits in the AR block (104–123), one of twenty Art Rares compiled from official images and PokeBeach’s September 9 list. Ditto AR was among the five secret rares — alongside Kommo-o AR 119, Mewtwo ex SAR 128, Mew ex SAR 129 and Gengar ex SAR 131 — that hadn’t been shown anywhere as of September 11; all five surfaced with release-day SNKRDUNK listings on September 16, 2026.
Card Details: Surprisingly Transform
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Card number | 121/103 (AR); regular print at 093/103 |
| JP name | メタモン |
| Type | Colorless |
| HP | 70 |
| Stage | Basic |
| Status | AR shown in release-day marketplace listings (SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026); not yet in the official database as a separate entry; regular print 093/103 is official database |
The card text, per PokeBeach’s September 9, 2026 translation and shared by both the regular print and the AR version, is a single attack:
- [C][C] Surprisingly Transform — Flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for a Pokémon and switch it with this Pokémon. Any attached cards, damage counters, Special Conditions, turns in play, and any other effects remain on the new Pokémon. If you switched a Pokémon in this way, put this card into your deck. Then, shuffle your deck.
Weakness is Fighting (×2), there’s no listed Resistance, and retreat cost is 1 Energy. Surprisingly Transform is a coin-flip swap effect; the AR print carries the same text as 093/103.
Illustrator Status: AR Credits Are Unpublished
The official card database does not credit an illustrator for AR 121/103 specifically, and as of September 16, 2026 it still doesn’t list the AR block as its own set of entries at all. AR and SAR illustrators are unpublished across the whole 104–133 range (the two FUR cards, 134 and 135, are the exception — both officially credited to YOSHIROTTEN). What is confirmed is the illustrator of the regular print this AR is based on: Toshinao Aoki, credited on 093/103 in the official database.
Because the AR shares its card text and Pokémon identity with the regular print, everything about how Ditto plays is confirmed even though the AR illustration itself isn’t publicly attributed yet.
The English Side: Ditto Premium Collection
Ditto also has a dedicated English-language product, separate from the Japanese booster line entirely. Per PokeBeach’s June 30, 2026 product-lineup article, a Ditto Premium Collection ($39.99 MSRP) releases November 6, 2026, containing “a colorful acrylic display, a Ditto promo, and eight 30th Celebration booster packs.” The promo inside that box is numbered MEP EN 106 in compiled EN promo checklists.
That’s a standalone English product built around Ditto specifically — distinct from, and not sold by us, the Japanese AR 121/103 covered in this guide. We don’t sell English 30th CELEBRATION product; it’s referenced here only for comparison. We ship the Japanese booster box, and Ditto AR itself would be a single pulled from that box rather than from any English Premium Collection.
Other Secret Rares From the Same Release-Day Reveal
Ditto AR wasn’t the only secret rare to surface on September 16, 2026. Four other cards — Kommo-o AR 119, Mewtwo ex SAR 128, Mew ex SAR 129 and Gengar ex SAR 131 — had also stayed unseen through September 11 and appeared with their own SNKRDUNK listings the same day. None of that AR/SAR artwork is pictured here; shown below is the official regular print behind Kommo-o AR, 091/103 — official regular-print images also exist for the Pokémon behind the other three:

How 30th Celebration’s Full Numbering Breaks Down
121/103 sits in the AR block, part of the wider secret-rare range that is compiled rather than official. The database itself 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 PokeBeach’s September 9 list and is still not in the official card database. All 32 secret rares have now been seen — the last five, including this card, surfaced with release-day listings on SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026.
| Block | Numbers | Count | Status, Sep 16, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main set | 001–103 | 103 | Official database |
| AR (Art Rare) | 104–123 | 20 | Compiled; all now seen (incl. 121) |
| SAR (Special Art Rare) | 124–133 | 10 | Compiled; all now seen |
| FUR (Futuristic Rare) | 134–135 | 2 | Compiled; YOSHIROTTEN |
| 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). For the full picture of the block Ditto AR belongs to, see our AR list: all 20 Art Rares.
Release-Day Market: What Ditto AR Is Asking
Ditto AR 121/103 had no live marketplace listing as of September 11, 2026. Its first appearance on SNKRDUNK came with the release-day card reveal: a lowest asking price of ¥1,000 across 10 listings, dated September 16, 2026. That’s the first release-day ask for this card — not a sale, and not necessarily where it settles once more packs are opened.
Sealed product has also moved since the set’s card list went public. The lowest asking price for a sealed M6a box on SNKRDUNK went from ¥47,200 on September 1 to ¥28,200 on September 10 and ¥17,500 on release day, September 16, 2026 — still about 2.4× the ¥7,200 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 AR cards specifically.
