30th CELEBRATION (M6a) released worldwide on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, and its dedicated 30-card Pikachu subset runs from 017/103 through 046/103. Card 039/103 is the twenty-third of those thirty, illustrated by Naoyo Kimura and carrying the sub-number 23/30.
This guide covers what’s confirmed about 039/103: its attack text from the official card database, what Bulbapedia’s page for Naoyo Kimura states about her decades-long Pokémon TCG career, where this card sits relative to the Ken Sugimori card that opens the subset, and what comparable graded Pikachu prints are currently listed at on our site.
Pikachu 039/103 is 23/30 in 30th CELEBRATION’s illustrator subset (EN number 045), drawn by Naoyo Kimura. It carries a draw effect, Nighttime Stroll, backed by a 20-damage Static Shock, and there is no dated marketplace figure for this Pikachu in this update. Our M6a 30th CELEBRATION Booster Box is currently listed as a pre-order at ¥25,000 (~$162) sealed / ¥23,000 (~$149) no shrink, and graded copies of other Pikachu prints 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, Bulbapedia’s illustrator pages (fetched September 16, 2026), SNKRDUNK asking prices dated September 16, 2026, or our own live listed prices. Card 039/103 itself has no dated marketplace figure in this update.
What Is Pikachu 039/103 in 30th Celebration?
Pikachu 039/103 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 one of the thirty plus one YOSHIROTTEN Basic Energy card.
In the compiled English checklists for this set, 039/103 corresponds to EN number 045 — the standing rule is that the English number equals 22 plus the Pikachu’s Japanese sub-number, so 23/30 lands at EN 045. For the complete roster of all thirty illustrators and where each falls in the sequence, see our 30 Pikachu illustrators guide.
Card Details: Nighttime Stroll, Static Shock and the Numbers
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Card number | 039/103 (23/30 in the Pikachu subset; EN 045) |
| JP name | ピカチュウ |
| Type | Lightning |
| HP | 60 |
| Stage | Basic |
| Illustrator | Naoyo Kimura |
| Status | Official card database (confirmed number, name, illustrator) |
The card text, per PokeBeach’s September 9, 2026 translation of the official database entry, pairs a card-advantage attack with a direct-damage finisher:
- [C] Nighttime Stroll — Draw a card.
- [L][C] Static Shock — 20 damage.
Weakness is Fighting (×2), there’s no listed Resistance, and retreat cost is 1 Energy. A one-Colorless-Energy draw attack followed by a cheap two-Energy attacker is one of the more flexible layouts in the subset, giving this Pikachu a use even when it isn’t attacking for damage.
Naoyo Kimura and Her Pokémon TCG Career
Bulbapedia’s page gives the Japanese name 木村直代 (Kimura Naoyo), born 1960. It credits her first Pokémon TCG cards as Seel, Zapdos and Graveler from the Japanese Expansion Sheet Series 2, and her first English-released cards as the Wizards Black Star Promos Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, issued alongside The Power of One. The page’s tally stands at 277 cards illustrated so far — one of the largest counts among this set’s 30 Pikachu illustrators — plus multiple “Pokémon Tales” picture books and a contribution to the 2023 “Pokémon x Van Gogh” art collaboration.
Kimura’s illustrator credit also turns up elsewhere in this very set: the official card database lists her as the illustrator of Classic Collection card 142, the “Crystal” Lugia reprint, so 30th CELEBRATION carries two of her cards under two very different treatments — a new Pikachu in the fireworks-holo subset and a Classic reprint of one of her earlier illustrations. The page does not give an art-style description, and Bulbapedia has no statement connecting her to the 30th CELEBRATION Pikachu specifically beyond the illustrator credit itself.
For more of the thirty illustrators’ backgrounds, see our Pikachu illustrators hub.
Where 039 Sits in the 30-Pikachu Subset
All thirty Pikachu cards share the same fireworks-style holofoil layer over the full card — PokeBeach’s description of the treatment — and the same basic set-up: different illustrator, different attack text, same general Basic Pokémon slot. The subset opens with card 017/103, 01/30, illustrated by Ken Sugimori, whose piece recreates his own Pikachu artwork from the Jungle expansion. 039/103 sits twenty-two cards later in the sequence, at 23/30.
Two other entries in the subset are covered in companion guides on this site:
- Pikachu 017/103, 01/30, by Ken Sugimori
- Pikachu 031/103, 15/30, by Yuu Nishida
We’re not ranking any of the thirty against each other by value here — there isn’t the market data to support it yet. For the full table of all thirty numbers, sub-numbers and illustrators, our 30 Pikachu illustrators guide is the hub page to bookmark.
How 30th Celebration’s Full Numbering Breaks Down
039/103 sits inside the main set block, which has been in the official database since September 9, 2026. As of release day, all 32 secret rares (104–135) have now been seen — the last five surfaced with release-day listings on SNKRDUNK on September 16, 2026 — but that block is still not in the official card database.
| 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; not in official database |
| SAR (Special Art Rare) | 124–133 | 10 | Compiled; all shown; not in official database |
| FUR (Futuristic Rare) | 134–135 | 2 | Officially credited to 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). AR and SAR illustrators remain unpublished; the two FUR cards, the Basic Energy and the FUTURISTIC BOX design are officially YOSHIROTTEN. For the full breakdown, see our numbering explainer.
Box Structure and the Market Since Release
Every pack of 30th CELEBRATION carries six foil cards for ¥360, with one of the thirty Pikachu and one YOSHIROTTEN Basic Energy in every 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 with no duplicates, 2 Classic Collection cards, 4 AR, 1 SAR and 1 FUR — one opening, not a published pull rate.
039/103 itself has no dated marketplace figure in this update. The only Pikachu in the 30-card subset with a release-day ask so far is 017/103 (Ken Sugimori), which had a lowest ask of ¥1,000 on SNKRDUNK on September 16, 2026. The sealed box, by contrast, has moved: its lowest SNKRDUNK ask 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.

Neither of these is a 30th CELEBRATION print or connected to Naoyo Kimura’s illustration credit for this particular Pikachu — they’re shown here purely as a general reference point for where graded Pikachu singles sit on our site right now. Browse the full PSA10 collection for more.
