Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND is a two-card Pokemon — a novelty mechanic that only existed for a short window of the Pokemon TCG’s history, and 30th Celebration’s Classic Collection brings it back as two separate reprints that still have to be played together. If you searched for a darkrai cresselia legend card guide after spotting 151/103 and 152/103 in the official 30th Celebration list, here’s exactly what both halves are, what the original 2010 card does, and where the graded market sits today — because this is one of the rare cases in this set where a PSA10 of the exact original print is currently listed.
The official card list for 30th Celebration (M6a) was published by The Pokemon Company on 9 September 2026, and the Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND reprint is confirmed in it, split across 151/103 (top half, Darkrai) and 152/103 (bottom half, Cresselia). Both sit in the 30-card Classic Collection block (136–165), already in the official database alongside the main set 001–103 and eight Basic Energy.
Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND is a Classic Collection reprint of the 2010 HeartGold & SoulSilver: Triumphant LEGEND card, split across 151/103 (Darkrai, top) and 152/103 (Cresselia, bottom) — both halves must be in play together to use the Pokemon. 151/103 and 152/103 share a single official database entry (the LEGEND is one card in two halves), credited to Shinji Higuchi, who also drew the original top (Darkrai) half in 2010; the original bottom (Cresselia) half was drawn by a different artist, Noriko Takaya. A PSA10 of the exact original print is currently listed on our site at ¥721,000 (~$4,682). The set has not released yet — it ships worldwide on 16 September 2026, and the M6a 30th Celebration Booster Box is currently listed as a pre-order.
Today is 11 September 2026, five days ahead of 30th Celebration’s worldwide release. Every price below is a current listing on our own site or a marketplace ask dated 11 September 2026 — nothing here is a sale price for the 30th Celebration reprint itself, since the set has not shipped.
What Are 151/103 and 152/103 in the Classic Collection?
151/103 and 152/103 sit 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. Both carry a small « C » mark beside the M6a set code 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.
The official image for this pair covers both halves in a single file, and 151/103 and 152/103 share a single official database entry — the LEGEND is one card split across two halves, not two separate database entries. That shared entry credits Shinji Higuchi, the same artist who drew the original top (Darkrai) half in 2010. The original bottom (Cresselia) half was drawn by a different artist, Noriko Takaya.
The Original Print: Triumphant, 2010
The card being reprinted across 151/103 and 152/103 is Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND, card numbers 99/102 (top half) and 100/102 (bottom half) from HeartGold & SoulSilver: Triumphant, the English expansion released 3 November 2010. Its Japanese origin is « Lost Link, » card numbers 035/040 (top) and 036/040 (bottom). It was a Rare Holo LEGEND — a two-card mechanic where both halves must be in play together to use the Pokemon. A Jumbo promotional version was also released in November 2010 in the Clash of Legends Box.
Original illustrators: Shinji Higuchi for the top (Darkrai) half, Noriko Takaya for the bottom (Cresselia) half, per Bulbapedia. As noted above, the 30th Celebration reprint’s shared database entry for 151/103 and 152/103 credits Shinji Higuchi, matching the original top half; the original bottom half’s artist, Noriko Takaya, is a different name from the one on that shared entry.
| Attribute | 2010 original (Triumphant 99–100/102) |
|---|---|
| Type / HP | Darkness / Psychic (dual-type) / 150 |
| Stage | Pokemon LEGEND — both halves must be played together |
| Attack 1 | Lost Crisis (2 Darkness, 2 Colorless): 100 damage; choose 2 Energy attached to this Pokemon and put them in the Lost Zone; if an opponent’s Pokemon would be Knocked Out by this attack’s damage, put it and all attached cards in the Lost Zone instead of discarding |
| Attack 2 | Moon’s Invite (1 Psychic): move any number of damage counters on your opponent’s Pokemon to any of your opponent’s other Pokemon, in any way you like |
| Weakness | Fighting and Psychic |
| Retreat Cost | 2 Colorless |
As a reprint, 151/152/103 is expected to carry this same combined card text — the official card database entries for the Classic Collection do not publish a full-text listing separately, but « reprint » in this block means the original card mechanics, not a new design.
Why Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND Made the Classic Collection
LEGEND cards were a short-lived, format-defining novelty of the HeartGold & SoulSilver era: two separate cards that had to sit together on the same Bench or Active slot to form one Pokemon, printed only for a handful of sets before the mechanic was retired. Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND pairs two Sinnoh-region Legendary Pokemon into a single 150 HP threat whose Lost Crisis attack turns knockouts into permanent Lost Zone removal — a genuinely disruptive design, and one of the more collectible two-card combos from that period. Its Jumbo promotional release in the Clash of Legends Box the same month adds another layer of period-specific collector interest. That combination of a novelty format mechanic and dual-Legendary subject matter is exactly what the Classic Collection is built to spotlight.
Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND 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, and our existing Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND (Lost Link) card guide for more on the original print.
Card Details: Both Halves
A side-by-side reference for the two Classic Collection numbers and their original prints. 151/103 and 152/103 share a single official database entry (the LEGEND is one card in two halves), credited to Shinji Higuchi:
| Half | Classic Collection number | 30th illustrator | Original print | Original illustrator | Match? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Darkrai (top) | 151/103 | Shinji Higuchi | Triumphant 99/102 | Shinji Higuchi | Confirmed match |
Cresselia (bottom), 152/103, shares that same database entry rather than having a separate one of its own — the original bottom half was drawn by a different artist, Noriko Takaya. Both halves are Classic Collection cards (not part of the still-unofficial 104–135 AR/SAR/FUR block); 151/103 and 152/103 are the one pairing in the 30-card block that shares a single database entry between two numbers, which is why the official database lists 29 entries covering the 30 Classic Collection numbers.
Market: A Real PSA10 Anchor for This Print
Unlike most of the Classic Collection block, Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND has an exact-match PSA10 currently listed on our site — the original 2010 Lost Link print, graded.
On SNKRDUNK, the original Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND [LL 035-036/040] shows a lowest ask of ¥50,000 across 5 listings, dated 11 September 2026 — an asking price, not a completed sale, and for the original 2010 print, not the 30th Celebration reprint, which hasn’t released. The 30th Celebration reprint of 151/103 and 152/103 is not itself listed on our site yet; sourcing requests go through Commande rapide.
On the sealed side, SNKRDUNK’s lowest ask on a 30th Celebration booster box moved from ¥47,200 (1 September) to ¥28,200 (10 September) to ¥23,599 (11 September), with the no-shrink variant at ¥21,399 — both trending down as release approaches.

Both carry a « C » mark and are not usable under current Standard regulations.

Do the illustrators match between the 30th Celebration reprint and the original?
151/103 and 152/103 share a single official database entry, credited to Shinji Higuchi — the same artist who drew the original top (Darkrai) half in 2010. The original bottom (Cresselia) half was drawn by a different artist, Noriko Takaya.
