30th CELEBRATION (M6a) released worldwide on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, bringing its full 30-card Pikachu holo subset with it — 017/103 through 046/103, one illustrator per card. Number 045/103 is card 29 of 30 in that run, drawn by nagimiso, and this guide covers its attack text, what Bulbapedia confirms about the illustrator, its place relative to Ken Sugimori’s lead-off Pikachu 017, and what comparable graded Pikachu prints are currently listed at on our site.
USD figures in this article convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
Pikachu 045/103 (29/30 in the Pikachu subset, EN number 051) is a Basic Lightning-type with 70 HP, illustrated by nagimiso. Its one attack, Lightning Crash, discards all attached Lightning Energy for 90 damage to any one of the opponent’s Pokémon, Benched included. Bulbapedia credits nagimiso with 151 illustrated TCG cards, one of the larger totals among the thirty illustrators in this subset; there’s no release-day marketplace figure for this specific Pikachu yet. Our M6a 30th CELEBRATION Booster Box is currently listed at ¥25,000 (~$162) sealed / ¥23,000 (~$149) no shrink, and graded Pikachu prints are browsable in our PSA10 collection.
What Is Pikachu 045/103 in 30th Celebration?
Pikachu 045/103 is a main-set card in M6a 30th CELEBRATION, confirmed in the official card database 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 each of the thirty cards is a different illustrator’s take on the same species under a fireworks-style holofoil layer covering the full card. In that subset’s own sub-numbering, 045/103 is 29/30. In the compiled English-language checklists that track the set’s international numbering, its counterpart is EN 051 (the Pikachu subset maps as 22 plus the sub-number, so 29/30 becomes EN 051).
Every pack of the set is guaranteed one of these thirty Pikachu plus one YOSHIROTTEN Basic Energy card. For the full roster of all thirty numbers and illustrators, see our 30 Pikachu illustrators guide.
Card Details: Lightning Crash and the Numbers
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Card number | 045/103 (29/30 in the Pikachu subset; EN 051) |
| JP name | ピカチュウ |
| Type | Lightning |
| HP | 70 |
| Stage | Basic |
| Illustrator | nagimiso |
| Status | Official card database (confirmed number, name, illustrator) |
The card text, per PokeBeach’s September 9, 2026 translation of the official database entry, carries a single attack:
- [L][L][L] Lightning Crash — Discard all [L] Energy from this Pokémon, and this attack does 90 damage to 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
Weakness is Fighting (×2), there’s no listed Resistance, and retreat cost is 2 Energy. The self-discard cost caps 045/103 to a one-shot 90 damage unless it’s re-loaded with Energy afterward, and the ability to target any Pokémon — Active or Benched — is what separates it from a straightforward attacker like 017.
nagimiso: What Bulbapedia Confirms
Bulbapedia’s page for the illustrator gives the Japanese name 凪水そう (nagimiso) without a full English name, birth year, or pen-name confirmation. The page names nagimiso’s first Pokémon TCG cards as “Team Aqua’s Kyogre-EX” and “Team Magma’s Groudon-EX” from the Double Crisis expansion. As of the page’s own count, nagimiso has illustrated 151 cards for the TCG — one of the larger totals among the thirty illustrators in this subset — plus 38 cards appearing in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. Other Pokémon-related work stated on the page: a bonus illustration created for “Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku Project VOLTAGE High ↑.”
Bulbapedia does not describe an art style and does not list titled notable cards beyond the two Double Crisis debut cards named in its introduction — it has no statement about the 30th CELEBRATION set specifically. nagimiso is credited on 151 TCG cards per Bulbapedia, well beyond most of the other illustrators in this subset, but the page still stops short of a style description or a curated highlights list.
Where 045 Sits in the 30-Pikachu Subset
The subset opens with card 017/103, illustrated by Ken Sugimori — Pokémon’s original artist, whose card recreates his own Pikachu artwork from the Jungle expansion and carries the sub-number 01/30. Pikachu 045/103 is the second-to-last card in the run, at 29/30, with only the closing 046/103 (30/30, Kazuki Minami) after it.
All thirty share the same holofoil treatment and the same basic Lightning-type setup, but each carries its own HP total, attack (or ability), and illustrator — 045/103’s self-discarding, any-target Lightning Crash is a very different attack profile from 017’s simple Thunder Shock. One other card in the subset with a companion guide on this site:

How 30th Celebration’s Full Numbering Breaks Down
045/103 sits inside the main set, the block that’s been in the official card database since the September 9, 2026 card-list publication. The main set 001–103 (including the 30 Pikachu), the Classic Collection 136–165 and the eight Basic Energy are official database entries; the AR/SAR/FUR block 104–135 is compiled from official images and PokeBeach’s list and is still not in the official card database. All 32 secret rares have now been seen — the last five surfaced with release-day listings on SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026.
| 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 | Compiled; all shown, still not in the official database |
| SAR (Special Art Rare) | 124–133 | 10 | Compiled; all shown, still not in the official database |
| 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 breakdown of how the secret-rare numbering works, see our numbering explainer.
Box Structure and the Release-Day Market
Every pack of 30th CELEBRATION guarantees 1 of the 30 Pikachu and 1 YOSHIROTTEN Basic Energy card among six foil cards total, at ¥360 per pack; a box holds 20 packs for ¥7,200 tax-in 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 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. Singles from the subset are starting to show up too: Ken Sugimori’s 017/103 has a release-day lowest ask of ¥1,000 (15 listings, SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026). Pikachu 045/103 itself has no dated marketplace figure for this Pikachu in this update.
Graded Pikachu: What PSA10 Copies Are Listed At
Since 045/103 has no market history of its own yet, the closest useful comparison is what other graded Pikachu prints are listed at on our site right now — a sense of where Pikachu singles generally sit in a PSA10 holder, across very different eras and rarities. None of the following are 30th CELEBRATION prints or connected to nagimiso’s illustration credit.
Once graded copies of 045/103 exist, its own market data will sit separately from both of these. Browse the full PSA10 collection for more.
