1. Espeon & Umbreon Gift Box: Our Top Pick
If you are choosing one anniversary gift box, start with the Espeon & Umbreon Gift Box. It contains the two featured Pokémon ex cards, a shared display frame, matching day-and-night collectibles, and 15 packs to open. This is our top choice for collectors who want cards, a display piece, and a pack opening in one box.
Inside the box:
1 Espeon ex foil card
1 Umbreon ex foil card
1 day-themed refrigerator magnet
1 night-themed refrigerator magnet
1 dual-card display frame
15 30th Celebration booster packs, with 6 cards per pack
The paired artwork gives this box its character. Both featured cards are included, so the display is complete before you open a pack.
2. Charizard Figure Box: A Display for Charizard Fans
The 30th Anniversary Charizard Figure Box combines a Charizard figure, an oversized card and 15 booster packs. The figure and card form a shelf display based on the familiar artwork.
Inside the box:
1 Charizard figure
1 oversized Charizard card, 13.3 × 18.7 cm (approximate dimensions)
15 30th Celebration booster packs, with 6 cards per pack
Choose this one for a Charizard display or a gift for a Charizard collector. The included Charizard card is the oversized display card.
3. 30th Celebration Booster Box: Best for Opening Packs
The 30th Celebration Booster Box (30th C) is our pick when packs are the main attraction. It contains 20 packs, compared with 15 in the Espeon & Umbreon Gift Box or Charizard Figure Box.
Inside the box:
20 30th Celebration booster packs
6 foil cards per pack
120 cards in total
Every pack includes one card from the collection of 30 Pikachu illustrations by 30 artists. That gives each opening a clear collecting theme, alongside the wider anniversary card pool. Cards are random, and repeated Pikachu designs can appear.
Choose the booster box to build your 30th C collection through pack opening. Add the Espeon & Umbreon or Charizard box for a featured display piece.
Espeon ex or Umbreon ex Premium Deck Set: Best for Players
The 30th Celebration Premium Deck Set brings the day-and-night theme to the play table. Choose the Espeon ex edition or the Umbreon ex edition; each contains one corresponding deck and matching equipment.
Each edition includes:
1 corresponding Pokémon ex deck
1 matching metal deck case with a damage-counter case
1 matching Pokémon coin
1 matching paper playmat
1 sheet of paper damage counters
1 corresponding deck strategy guide
2 30th Celebration booster packs, with 6 cards per pack
1 beginner's guide
This is the choice for fans who want to play with their anniversary purchase. The metal case and matching accessories give the deck a home between games.
Greninja ex or Sylveon ex Card Display Set: A Compact Collector's Pick
The 30th Celebration Card Display Set puts one favorite Pokémon at the center. Choose Greninja ex or Sylveon ex for a matching card-and-display pairing that fits a desk or shelf.
Each edition includes:
1 foil card featuring the selected Pokémon ex
1 matching themed card display holder
3 30th Celebration booster packs, with 6 cards per pack
The featured card is included with its matching display, making this a gift for someone who collects that Pokémon. Sylveon is a companion for an Eeveelution collection.
Pikachu Figure Set: Card Art for Your Shelf
The 30th Anniversary Pikachu Figure Set pairs a Pikachu figure with the foil card behind its design. The appeal is the translation from card illustration to figure.
Inside each box:
1 random Pikachu figure
1 matching Pikachu foil card
1 30th Celebration booster pack containing 6 cards
The 13 figure designs include one hidden design. This is a blind box: the figure and matching card are random. Pick it for the artwork-to-figure pairing and the surprise of opening it.
30th Anniversary Coin Set: A Second Collection to Build
The 30th Anniversary Coin Set adds Pikachu coins to your anniversary opening. It is a good addition for collectors who enjoy displaying and trading small collectibles alongside their cards.
Inside each set:
2 random themed Pokémon coins
3 30th Celebration booster packs, with 6 cards per pack
The coin range has 30 Pikachu designs, each with four finishes, including a hidden finish. Designs and finishes are random.
Anniversary Accessories: Protect and Display the Collection
The matching accessories support card and coin storage. Each choice on these product pages is a separate product; select the item you want.
The 30th Celebration Accessories page offers:
Card Sleeves: 64 sleeves
Deck Box: 1 deck box with 2 dividers
Damage Counter Box: 1 storage box for damage counters
Coin Album: 1 album with 30 coin slots
The 30th Anniversary Coin Frame, Playmat & Binder page offers:
Coin Display Frame: 1 commemorative frame for displaying Pokémon coins
Two-Player Rubber Playmat: 1 black-and-gold anniversary playmat
360-Pocket Collection Binder: 1 PU leather zip binder with 9-pocket pages and 360 card slots
Choose sleeves and a deck box for play, the binder for your card collection, or a coin album or frame to go with the Coin Set. These accessories exclude cards, coins and booster packs.
Which One Should You Choose?
Our first recommendation is the Espeon & Umbreon Gift Box for two featured cards, a paired display and 15 packs. Choose the Charizard Figure Box if Charizard leads your collection, or the 30th C Booster Box if opening packs is your priority.
Build a collection around your favorite Pokémon: a deck for play, a figure or card set for display, and matching accessories.
