30th Celebration Chase Cards, Card List & Pull Rates

Every card in 30th Celebration is foil, the Basic Energy included, and every pack holds a Pikachu Rare: 30 different Pikachu, each drawn by a different artist. Packs carry five cards rather than the usual ten, yet the hits come more often: TCGplayer counts one in roughly every three packs, against every five in other Mega Evolution sets. Special Illustration Rares land about once in every 17 to 22 packs here, against roughly one in 80 in a typical Mega Evolution set, and TCGplayer's sample of more than 3,000 packs, published on 24 September, landed inside our pull-rate ranges on every rarity it could measure.

Foil shows edge wear and surface scratches more readily than matte card, so condition decides what a pull from this set is worth, and sealed product that has never been handled is the safer way to hold it.

30th Celebration added a new rarity, the Futuristic Rare: Mewtwo ex (157/128) and Mew ex (158/128), designed by the artist YOSHIROTTEN, who also designed the Basic Energy in every pack. One of the two turns up about once in 75 to 135 packs.

Above them sit the three RGB Rare Mews, red, green and blue prints of one artwork, marked R/RGB, G/RGB and B/RGB instead of a number. The Pokémon Company left them off the official checklist, and they are rare enough that their odds are still an estimate: one confirmed pull in 4,063 streamed packs, and none in TCGplayer's sample of more than 3,000. Our RGB Mew guide covers how rare they are.

About one pack in ten holds a Classic Collection card: 30 reprints from across the game's history, each printed on its original set number with a gold border and the 30th anniversary stamp, from Base Set Charizard (4/102) and Pikachu (58/102) to Paldea Evolved's Magikarp (203/193). Any one of them, the Charizard included, turns up about once in 270 to 330 packs. Collectors who opened Celebrations in 2021 will know the format, and if the Kanto reprints are what pulls you in, our Pokémon 151 pull rates guide covers the odds on the last set to lean this hard on original-era artwork.

Both Elite Trainer Boxes carry a full-art Nidorina promo. The retail box has 9 packs and one Nidorina; the Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box has 11 packs and two, one of them stamped with the Pokémon Center logo, which comes only in that box. Both include 65 sleeves, 16 foil Basic Energy, damage-counter dice, a coin-flip die, a plastic coin, a storage box with six dividers and the player's guide.
