The official card list for the 30th CELEBRATION Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon (set code MF) went live on 9 September 2026, and two numbers sit outside the deck’s own 040-card list entirely: 041 Victini and 042 Zeraora, each with its own illustrator credit (details below).
This guide covers what 041 and 042 actually are, how they differ from the Victini and Zeraora that are built into the decks (at 006 and 007), and how they sit next to the set’s two headline full-art cards, Espeon ex and Umbreon ex at 043 and 044. We ship Japanese sealed product out of Tokyo, so everything below is dated and sourced from the official card list and product page.
041 Victini (illustrated by satoma) and 042 Zeraora (illustrated by HACCAN) are two extra illustration cards in the Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon — not part of either 60-card deck, and not an official AR rarity, despite third-party trackers labelling them « AR Style ». The decks’ own regular Victini and Zeraora sit at 006 (Jiro Sasumo) and 007 (Bun Toujo) within the /040 numbering. Our 30th Celebration Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon is currently listed as a pre-order at ¥29,800 (~$194).
Today is 11 September 2026, five days ahead of the worldwide 16 September release. Card facts below come from the official MF card list published 9 September 2026 and the official product page; prices are dated and labelled as either our own current listing or an official JP MSRP figure.
What Are 041 Victini and 042 Zeraora?
The Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon (set code MF) has 44 numbered cards « /040 » plus 5 Basic Energy. Cards 001–040 make up the two 60-card constructed decks (an Espeon ex deck and an Umbreon ex deck, each built from a mix of new and reprinted cards). Four cards sit above that 040 count: 041 Victini (illustrated by satoma), 042 Zeraora (illustrated by HACCAN), and the set’s two full-art headliners, 043 Espeon ex (REND) and 044 Umbreon ex (REND).
The 041 and 042 prints are not part of the 001–040 deck-card list — though Victini and Zeraora do appear in it, at 006 and 007 (covered below). 041 and 042 are extra cards bundled with the product rather than deck pieces. Japanese aggregator SNKRDUNK catalogues 041 and 042 as « Victini AR Style » and « Zeraora AR Style » in its listings, but that’s a tracker label, not an official Pokémon Company rarity designation. The official card list and product page do not assign 041/042 an AR rarity, so we’re calling them what the official list actually shows: two extra illustration cards, numbered 041/040 and 042/040.
For the full official card list and deck breakdown, see our Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon guide.
Victini 041/040: Satoma’s Illustration
Victini at 041/040 is illustrated by satoma, per the official MF card database entry. It’s one of two prints — alongside Zeraora at 042 — that sit outside the 001–040 deck-card list as an extra illustration card, even though the regular Victini print (006) is itself part of that deck-card list.
For Victini’s other Japanese and English printings, see our Victini cards guide.
Zeraora 042/040: HACCAN’s Illustration
Zeraora at 042/040 is illustrated by HACCAN, per the official MF card database entry. Like Victini at 041, it’s an extra card outside either deck’s 60-card build, credited to its own illustrator separately from the decks’ own Pokémon roster.
For Zeraora’s other Japanese and English printings, see our Zeraora cards guide.
The Decks’ Own Victini and Zeraora: 006 and 007
Confusingly, Victini and Zeraora also appear inside the deck-numbering itself, at 006 and 007 — separate cards from 041 and 042, with separate illustrators:
| N° | Carte | Illustrator | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 006/040 | Victini | Jiro Sasumo | Inside the 001–040 deck-card list |
| 007/040 | Zeraora | Bun Toujo | Inside the 001–040 deck-card list |
| 041/040 | Victini | satoma | Extra card, above the deck count |
| 042/040 | Zeraora | HACCAN | Extra card, above the deck count |
Both images above are from the official product page’s own pickup-card gallery, which features the deck-list 006/007 prints and the 043/044 full arts — it does not spotlight the extra 041/042 illustration cards in that gallery section, though both are confirmed by the official card database entry.
So the Premium Deck Set carries four Victini/Zeraora cards in total — two different illustrations of each Pokémon, one built into the 040-card deck list and one as an extra card above it. All four numbers are unique to the MF set code and shouldn’t be confused with any M6a (30th CELEBRATION main set) card numbers, which use a separate numbering track entirely.
041/042 vs the Full-Art Espeon ex and Umbreon ex (043/044)
The Premium Deck Set’s actual headline chase cards are 043 Espeon ex and 044 Umbreon ex, both full art and both illustrated by REND — distinct from the decks’ own playable Espeon ex (014/040, 5ban Graphics) and Umbreon ex (017/040, Keisuke Azuma). We’ve covered both full-art cards in standalone guides: Espeon ex full art 043/040 guide and Umbreon ex full art 044/040 guide.
041 Victini and 042 Zeraora sit in the same « above the deck count » numbering band as 043 and 044, which is likely why SNKRDUNK’s tracker groups them together under an « AR Style » label — visually and structurally, all four are extras rather than deck cards. But only 043 and 044 are full-art treatments of the set’s namesake Pokémon ex; 041 and 042 are the extra Victini and Zeraora illustrations described above.
What’s Inside the Premium Deck Set
Per the official product page (30th.pokemon-card.com/product/mf): the Espeon ex deck runs 60 cards — 16 kinds of Pokémon across 20 cards, 22 kinds of Trainer across 24 cards, and 3 kinds of Energy across 16 cards. The Umbreon ex deck also runs 60 cards — 16 kinds of Pokémon across 21 cards, 21 kinds of Trainer across 23 cards, and 3 kinds of Energy across 16 cards. Both decks reuse reprints from past series, and a constructed deck contains multiple copies of some cards.
Box contents beyond the two decks: 2 damage-counter/marker sheets, 2 coins (one Espeon-themed, one Umbreon-themed), 1 paper playmat in the 30th anniversary design, 1 slide-type double deck case (tin), and beginner plus player guides. Official JP MSRP is ¥6,200 tax-in, release 16 September 2026 — the same worldwide release date as the M6a 30th CELEBRATION booster set.
Victini and Zeraora Elsewhere: EN Promos and PSA10 Market
Outside the Premium Deck Set, Victini and Zeraora are also getting English promo treatment: per compiled EN checklists, Victini and Zeraora appear as the English promos MEP EN 102 and 103, included with the Battle Deck — Espeon ex and Battle Deck — Umbreon ex respectively, both released 30 October 2026 — separate cards from the JP 041/042 illustrations covered here.
Both are currently listed graded prints of Victini and Zeraora from other Japanese sets — neither is the Premium Deck Set’s 041/042 or 006/007 printing, since those haven’t released or been graded yet. They’re the closest current market reference for what these two Pokémon’s PSA10 prints are currently listed at in Japanese product generally.

Foire aux questions
What are 041 Victini and 042 Zeraora in the Premium Deck Set?
Two extra illustration cards bundled with the 30th CELEBRATION Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon (set code MF), numbered above the deck’s own 040-card count. 041 Victini is illustrated by satoma and 042 Zeraora by HACCAN. The 041 and 042 prints are not part of the 001–040 deck-card list — though Victini and Zeraora do appear in it, at 006 and 007.
Are 041 and 042 AR (Art Rare) cards?
Not officially. Third-party tracker SNKRDUNK labels them « AR Style » in its listings, but the official card list and product page do not assign an AR rarity to 041 or 042 — we’re calling them extra illustration cards rather than an official rarity tier.
Is there a different Victini and Zeraora in the same product?
Yes. Victini (006, illustrated by Jiro Sasumo) and Zeraora (007, illustrated by Bun Toujo) are separate cards built into the 001–040 deck-card list itself, distinct from the extra 041/042 illustrations.
What’s the difference between 041/042 and the full-art Espeon ex and Umbreon ex?
043 Espeon ex and 044 Umbreon ex, both illustrated by REND, are the set’s full-art headline chase cards and namesakes of the two decks. 041 Victini and 042 Zeraora are the extra illustration cards covered above — see the first question for how they relate to the 001–040 deck-card list.
What’s inside the Premium Deck Set, and what does it cost?
Two 60-card constructed decks (Espeon ex and Umbreon ex), 2 damage-counter sheets, 2 coins, a paper playmat, a tin deck case, and player guides. Official JP MSRP is ¥6,200 tax-in for the set; our listing is ¥29,800 (~$194) as a pre-order.
When does the Premium Deck Set release?
Worldwide, Wednesday 16 September 2026 — the same release date as the M6a 30th CELEBRATION booster set.
