The Pokemon Ditto 30th anniversary Premium Collection holds one Ditto promo card, one acrylic card display and eight booster packs.
Those are the contents printed on the official Pokémon TCG product page, which lists the English product for November 6, 2026 (pokemon.com product gallery, as of September 29, 2026).
Set against it is the Japanese route: the M6a 30th CELEBRATION BOX with an official price of ¥7,200, plus a Japanese Ditto (メタモン) in the M6a set. We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
The English Ditto Premium Collection (official page: 1 Ditto promo, 1 acrylic card display, 8 booster packs, 1 TCG Live code card) is dated November 6, 2026 and carries no official price. The Japanese M6a BOX has an official price of ¥7,200 (¥360 per pack) and is currently listed at our store as the Sealed option at ¥27,552 (~$179) and the No Shrink option at ¥24,513 (~$159). No official source says the English set equals the Japanese set.
- As of September 29, 2026, the official English gallery lists the Ditto Premium Collection for November 6, 2026 and shows no MSRP.
- As of September 29, 2026, the English 30th CELEBRATION expansion has been out since September 16, 2026; the Ditto Premium Collection is one of three English products dated November 6.
- As of September 29, 2026, the Japanese Card Set (9 types, ¥1,200 each) is dated October 16, 2026 on the official Japanese site.
- Every card of the Japanese set: 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) card list.
What the Official Page Lists
The English product is called Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Ditto Premium Collection on pokemon.com. Its gallery page gives a launch date and a contents list; it does not give a price, a Ditto artwork description or a purchase limit. Everything in the table below is printed on that page, and the last column says which items are official and which are not stated.
| Item | What is printed | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Product name | Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Ditto Premium Collection | Official |
| Launch date | November 6, 2026 | Official |
| Promo card | 1 promo card featuring Ditto | Official |
| Display | 1 acrylic card display | Official |
| Booster packs | 8 booster packs | Official |
| Digital item | 1 TCG Live code card | Official |
| Price (MSRP) | No price appears on any official page | Not stated officially |
| Retailers | “the Pokémon Center and where Pokémon TCG products are sold” | Official, no named list |
The packs inside are ordinary 30th Celebration boosters. Per the official product showcase (June 30, 2026), each pack holds five foil cards, including one of 30 unique Pikachu illustrations, plus one foil Basic Energy card, and the same page says the packs are only available inside products.
Where Ditto Sits in the English Line
The Ditto Premium Collection is one of several English 30th Celebration products dated across September to December 2026. Official contents and dates from the pokemon.com product gallery and showcase are listed below; the tin listed only by PokeBeach is left out because no official page carries it.
| Date (2026) | Product | Official contents |
|---|---|---|
| Sept 16 | Knock Out Collection | Eevee foil promo, plastic coin, 2 boosters |
| Sept 16 | Tech Sticker Collection | 1 foil promo (Alolan Exeggutor or Lucario), 1 sticker sheet, 3 boosters |
| Sept 16 | Poster Collection | 3 foil promos (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres), 1 poster, 3 boosters |
| Sept 16 | Pokémon ex Box (Sylveon ex / Greninja ex) | 1 foil promo, 1 oversize foil, 4 boosters |
| Sept 16 | Elite Trainer Box | 9 boosters, 1 full-art Nidorina promo, 16 foil Basic Energy, sleeves, dice, box |
| Sept 16 | Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box | 11 boosters, 2 full-art foil Nidorina promos (one with a Pokémon Center logo) |
| Oct 2 | Booster Bundle | 6 boosters |
| Oct 2 | Mini Tins (10 designs) | 2 boosters, 1 sticker sheet, 1 art card |
| Oct 30 | Battle Decks (Espeon ex / Umbreon ex) | 60 foil cards, deck box, playmat, coin, 1 promo |
| Nov 6 | Ditto Premium Collection | 1 Ditto promo, 1 acrylic display, 8 boosters, TCG Live code |
| Nov 6 | Ultra-Premium Collections (Day & Night) | 2 foil promos, playmat, 65 sleeves, deck box, coin, dice, 29 boosters + 1 Classic Collection booster |
| Nov 6 | Figure Collection (Mew & Mewtwo) | foil promo, oversize foil, figure, 5 boosters |
| Dec 4 | Binder Collection | 9-pocket binder, 5 boosters |
Three things stand out when the rows are read side by side. Ditto carries the largest booster count of any November product except the Ultra-Premium Collection’s 29 packs. It is the only product in the list named simply a “Premium Collection”; the top tier is the Ultra-Premium Collection. And it shares its November 6 date with the Ultra-Premium Collections and the Figure Collection.
For the sibling English products already covered against the Japanese box, see our Figure Collection comparison, the Knock Out Collection comparison and the Mini Tins comparison.
Ditto Premium Collection vs the Japanese BOX
The English product and the Japanese BOX are built for different jobs. One is a mid-sized collection with a display piece; the other is a sealed booster box. The table lines them up, with every figure marked official or not stated.
| Spec | English Ditto Premium Collection | Japanese M6a 30th CELEBRATION BOX |
|---|---|---|
| Release date | November 6, 2026 (official) | September 16, 2026 (official) |
| Price | Not stated officially | ¥7,200 BOX, ¥360 per pack (official, tax included) |
| Booster packs | 8 | The official page does not state packs per BOX |
| Pack contents | 5 foil cards + 1 foil Basic Energy (official showcase) | 6 foil cards per pack; the official page lists a YOSHIROTTEN-design Basic Energy in every pack |
| Promo card | 1 Ditto promo | None in the BOX |
| Extras | 1 acrylic card display, 1 TCG Live code card | None |
| Sales channel | Pokémon Center and general retail (no list published) | Pokémon Center allocation and retail (see the allocation notes below) |
| Set size on the official page | “Over 150 cards” for the expansion | Not compared here |
The English page speaks of the whole expansion as “over 150 cards.” No official source aligns that count with the Japanese set’s card list, so the two are not compared.
The Japanese Ditto in M6a
The Japanese M6a set has its own Ditto (メタモン), shown in the official Japanese card database. The image below is that database image.
| Card | Where it comes from | What the source gives |
|---|---|---|
| Ditto (メタモン), Japanese | M6a booster packs | Official Japanese card database image |
| Ditto promo, English | Ditto Premium Collection | The official page gives no card number or artwork description |
These are two different cards. The Japanese Ditto comes from the Japanese packs. The English Ditto promo is a fixed card inside one product, and the official page describes it only as “a promo card featuring Ditto.” No official source says the English promo reuses the Japanese artwork.
If the Japanese card is the target, the set’s M6a card list shows every card with its official image. For the wider MEGA-era run, the MEGA card list covers every Japanese set in the series.
The Japanese 30th Products, One by One
The Japanese 30th CELEBRATION line includes the products below. Official dates, prices and contents from the Japanese 30th site are below, followed by what our store lists for each.
M6a 30th CELEBRATION BOX
Released September 16, 2026 at ¥360 per pack and ¥7,200 per BOX. The official page describes 30 Pikachu illustrated by 30 illustrators and 30 historic cards reprinted in a special specification that is not legal in the Standard format. We currently list the Sealed option at ¥27,552 (~$179) and the No Shrink option at ¥24,513 (~$159).
30th CELEBRATION Card Set (9 types)

Our all-nine bundle is sold out at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order.
Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon
Released September 16, 2026 at ¥6,200: two 60-card decks led by Espeon ex and Umbreon ex, two damage sheets, two Pokémon coins, a playmat and a sliding tin double deck case. It is sold out at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order. The English product closest in spirit is the Battle Deck pair dated October 30, but no official page links the two.

How Japan allocated the products
| Channel | What the notice says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Pokémon Center Online | Most winning slots were prepared for identity-verified applicants; applicants without identity verification could still apply but with lower odds | Official notice, June 8, 2026 |
| Identity verification | My Number Card account authentication introduced August 3, 2026; verification for the August 28 priority lottery was due by August 31, 16:59 | Official notice, August 3, 2026 |
| Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo pack lottery | Applications Sept 16–20, results from Sept 22, purchase Sept 24–30, up to 10 packs per person, one entry per person | Official store news, September 2026 |
These are domestic Japanese allocation systems. The English Ditto Premium Collection has no comparable published lottery; the official page names retailers only in general terms.
Official Japanese Prices
The Japanese prices below are the tax-included prices printed on the official Japanese pages.
| Japanese product | Official price (tax included) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| M6a 30th CELEBRATION pack | ¥360 | 30th CELEBRATION site |
| M6a 30th CELEBRATION BOX | ¥7,200 | Official notice, June 8, 2026 |
| 30th CELEBRATION Card Set (each) | ¥1,200 | 30th CELEBRATION site |
| Card Set, nine-set bundle | ¥10,800 | Official notice, June 8, 2026 |
| Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon | ¥6,200 | Official notice, June 8, 2026 |
| FUTURISTIC BOX | ¥27,500 | Official notice, June 8, 2026 |
These are Japanese retail prices. The prices our store lists for the same products appear in the product sections above and are not the Japanese MSRPs. The English extras (a Ditto promo, an acrylic display and a digital code) have no counterpart in the Japanese BOX.
Reported, Unknown and Not Published
Several questions collectors ask about the Ditto product have no official answer. The table separates what is official, what a media outlet has reported, and what is simply missing.
| Question | Answer | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Which retailers carry it? | Not named beyond “the Pokémon Center and where Pokémon TCG products are sold” | Not published |
| Is there a purchase limit? | No limit appears on the official page | Not published |
| What does the Ditto promo look like? | Described only as “a promo card featuring Ditto” | Not published |
| Is the English set the Japanese M6a? | English pages do not name M6a; both sites share the 30th CELEBRATION name | No official equivalence statement |
| Does a lottery apply? | No lottery is announced for the English product | Not published |
The equivalence row matters most for anyone planning to compare cards. The official Japanese notice describes a worldwide simultaneous release of the 30th anniversary products, and both regions advertise the same headline features, but the English text never says “this is the Japanese set.” The product lines differ, so treat each region’s list as its own. Our Umbreon comparison, Japanese vs English shows what a single card looks like across the two regions.
How to Choose Between the Two Routes
The right product depends on what you want to end up holding. This checklist uses only the stated contents.
- You want the English Ditto promo card. The Ditto Premium Collection includes it. The Japanese box holds a different Ditto card.
- You want a sealed box of packs. None of the English products in the table above is a booster box; the sealed booster-box format in this set is the Japanese BOX.
- You want the Japanese Ditto. It comes from M6a packs; the card list shows the card with its official image.
- You want a display piece. The acrylic card display is part of the English product; the Japanese FUTURISTIC BOX has a display frame but no packs.
- You want both. The English release is dated November 6, 2026, so its price and retailer list can be checked against pokemon.com and the retailer’s own page before deciding.
For a wider read on the two regions, our Japanese vs English Pokémon cards comparison covers the printing differences that apply beyond this set, and the complete list of Japanese 30th products covers every SKU on the Japanese side.
Where to Buy the Japanese Side from Japan
The English Ditto Premium Collection is not among the Japanese products compared here; it has to come from the retailers pokemon.com refers to. For the Japanese side, the M6a booster box, the Premium Deck Set (sold out at the time of this update) and the FUTURISTIC BOX at ¥67,559 (~$439) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) are each listed at their own product pages, and the sealed shelf is at the Pokémon card box collection.
For a card you cannot find listed, sourcing requests go through Quick Order. Background on how importing from Japan works is in our guide to buying Japanese Pokémon cards from Japan, and the full timeline of announcements is in the 30th anniversary announcements timeline. Set-level background sits in the 30th CELEBRATION complete guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Ditto Premium Collection release?
The official pokemon.com product page lists the 30th Celebration Ditto Premium Collection for November 6, 2026, alongside the Ultra-Premium Collections and the Mew & Mewtwo Figure Collection. The Japanese M6a 30th CELEBRATION set released earlier, on September 16, 2026, and the Japanese Card Set (9 types) is dated October 16, 2026.
How many booster packs are in the Ditto Premium Collection?
Eight. The official page lists 8 booster packs, 1 promo card featuring Ditto, 1 acrylic card display and 1 TCG Live code card. Each 30th Celebration pack has five foil cards plus one foil Basic Energy. The Japanese M6a BOX has an official price of ¥7,200; the official page does not state its packs per BOX.
How much does the Ditto Premium Collection cost?
No official price is published as of September 29, 2026; pokemon.com states none for any 30th Celebration product. For the Japanese side, the official prices are ¥360 per M6a pack and ¥7,200 for the BOX, tax included. Our store prices for Japanese products are listed on their product pages.
How does the Ditto promo differ from the Japanese Ditto card?
They are different cards. The English promo is a fixed card inside the Premium Collection, described only as a promo featuring Ditto. The Japanese Ditto (メタモン) comes from M6a packs and is shown in the official Japanese card database. The official English page gives no artwork description, and no official source links the two artworks.
Is the English 30th Celebration set the same as the Japanese M6a set?
No official source says so. The English pages never name M6a, though both sites share the 30th CELEBRATION name and headline features such as the YOSHIROTTEN Mewtwo and Mew and 30 Pikachu illustrations. The English page cites over 150 cards for its expansion, and no official source aligns that count with the Japanese card list.
How does Japan allocate 30th CELEBRATION products?
Through Pokémon Center lotteries with identity verification. An official June 8, 2026 notice says most winning slots go to verified applicants, and a Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo pack lottery ran September 16–20 with a 10-pack limit per person. The English Ditto product has no published lottery.
