30th CELEBRATION (M6a) released worldwide on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, bringing its 30-card Pikachu subset out with it. Card 029/103 is one of the thirty — illustrated by Susumu Maeya, thirteenth in the sub-numbered run, and built around a simple two-Energy attack.
This guide covers what’s confirmed about 029/103: its attack text from the official card database, what Bulbapedia states about Susumu Maeya’s career, where the card sits relative to Ken Sugimori’s lead card at 017/103, and what comparable graded Pikachu prints are currently listed at on our site.
Pikachu 029/103 is card 13 of 30 in 30th CELEBRATION’s illustrator subset (EN number 035), drawn by Susumu Maeya, credited on Bulbapedia with 18 Pokémon TCG cards to date. Its attack, Rollout, deals a flat 30 damage for two Colorless Energy. There’s no dated marketplace figure for this specific Pikachu in this update. Our M6a 30th CELEBRATION Booster Box is currently listed as a pre-order at ¥25,000 (~$162) sealed, and graded Pikachu singles are browsable in our PSA10 collection.
Figures below are dated as stated — the official card database (checked September 16, 2026), PokeBeach’s September 9, 2026 translations, SNKRDUNK asking prices dated September 16, 2026, Bulbapedia’s illustrator page (fetched September 16, 2026), or our own live listed prices.
What Is Pikachu 029/103 in 30th Celebration?
Pikachu 029/103 is a main-set card in M6a 30th CELEBRATION, confirmed in the official card database (pokemon-card.com) with its JP name (ピカチュウ) and illustrator credit. It belongs to the set’s dedicated 30-card Pikachu subset, 017–046, where every pack guarantees exactly one of the thirty plus one YOSHIROTTEN Basic Energy card.
Within that thirty-card run, 029 is sub-numbered 13/30. For the complete roster of all thirty illustrators and their positions in the sequence, see our 30 Pikachu illustrators guide.
Card Details: Rollout and the Numbers
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Card number | 029/103 (13/30 in the Pikachu subset; EN 035) |
| JP name | ピカチュウ |
| Type | Lightning |
| HP | 60 |
| Stage | Basic |
| Illustrator | Susumu Maeya |
| Status | Official card database (confirmed number, name, illustrator) |
The card’s single attack, per PokeBeach’s September 9, 2026 translation of the official database entry:
- [C][C] Rollout — 30 damage.
Weakness is Fighting (×2), there’s no listed Resistance, and retreat cost is 1 Energy. Rollout is a flat, no-frills attack for two Colorless Energy — simpler than Ken Sugimori’s coin-flip Thunder Shock on 017/103 and, unlike several of the thirty, carries no secondary effect or Ability.
Susumu Maeya, the Illustrator
Susumu Maeya is credited as the illustrator of 029/103 in the official card database. Bulbapedia’s illustrator page (fetched September 16, 2026) gives the Japanese name 前屋 進, and refers to the illustrator with she/her pronouns. Bulbapedia states her first cards were the illustration rare Deerling and Sawsbuck from the Temporal Forces expansion, and that she has illustrated 18 cards for the Pokémon TCG so far, plus 5 additional cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket.
Bulbapedia also notes that Susumu Maeya is the mangaka of The Food Diary of Miss Maid. Cards listed on her page beyond the Temporal Forces debut include Picnicker (SVP Black Star Promos 114), Swanna (Twilight Masquerade 140), Eevee (Shrouded Fable 50), and Lillie’s Clefairy ex, a special illustration rare from Journey Together 184. The page does not describe an art style and makes no statement about the 30th Celebration Pikachu specifically.
Where 029 Sits in the 30-Pikachu Subset
All thirty Pikachu cards share the same fireworks-style holofoil treatment, per PokeBeach’s description, and the same basic-Pokémon slot, but each has its own illustrator and its own attack. Sub-numbering runs 01/30 through 30/30 across cards 017–046, and 029/103 lands at 13/30 — twelve cards after Ken Sugimori’s 017/103, which opens the run and, per PokeBeach’s coverage, recreates Sugimori’s own Pikachu artwork from the Jungle expansion.
In the compiled English numbering used by international checklists, the EN number for each Pikachu is 22 plus its Japanese sub-number, so 029/103 (13/30) corresponds to EN 035. For a companion card elsewhere in the subset, see our Pikachu 031/103 guide (15/30, by Yuu Nishida), and our Ken Sugimori 017/103 guide for the lead card itself. The full table of all thirty numbers and illustrators is on our 30 Pikachu illustrators guide.
How 30th Celebration’s Full Numbering Breaks Down
029/103 sits inside the main set, the block that has been in the official database since it published on September 9, 2026 — main set 001–103, Classic Collection 136–165 and eight Basic Energy. The AR/SAR/FUR block, 104–135, is compiled from official images and PokeBeach’s list rather than the database itself.
| Block | Numbers | Count | Status, Sep 16, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main set (incl. the 30 Pikachu, 017–046) | 001–103 | 103 | Official database |
| AR (Art Rare) | 104–123 | 20 | All shown; illustrators unpublished |
| SAR (Special Art Rare) | 124–133 | 10 | All shown; illustrators unpublished |
| FUR (Futuristic Rare) | 134–135 | 2 | Shown; both by 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). All 32 secret rares have now been seen — the last five surfaced with release-day listings on SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026 — but the AR/SAR/FUR block is still not in the official card database. AR and SAR illustrators are unpublished (the two FUR cards are by YOSHIROTTEN). For more on that block, see our numbering explainer.
Box Structure and the Release-Day Market
Every pack of 30th CELEBRATION carries six foil cards for ¥360, including one of the 30 Pikachu and one YOSHIROTTEN Basic Energy card; a 20-pack box is ¥7,200 tax-in MSRP. PokeBeach reported, from an official box opening shown before release, that one 20-pack box contained 20 of the 30 Pikachu (no duplicates), 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.
On SNKRDUNK, the lowest asking price for a sealed M6a box 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. Among singles, Ken Sugimori’s 017/103 has a release-day ask of ¥1,000 (15 listings) on SNKRDUNK, the only dated marketplace figure among the 30 Pikachu in this update. Pikachu 029/103 has no dated marketplace figure for this Pikachu in this update.
Graded Pikachu: What PSA10 Copies Are Listed At
029/103 has no market history yet as a graded single, so the closest useful comparison is what other graded Pikachu prints are currently listed at on our site — a general sense of where Pikachu singles sit in PSA10 across different eras and rarities.
Neither of these is a 30th CELEBRATION print or connected to Susumu Maeya’s illustration credit — they’re shown as general reference points for graded Pikachu pricing. Once 029/103 has been graded, its own market data will be separate from both. Browse the full PSA10 collection for more.
