Pokemon Trading Card Game: 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection

Pokemon is turning 30, and the Pokemon Trading Card Game 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection goes all out to mark the milestone. It is the biggest way to honor three decades of Pokemon, packed with exclusive full-art foil promo cards, premium accessories and 30 booster packs from the commemorative 30th Celebration expansion. Whether you are a longtime collector or a dedicated player, this set captures the magic of the game’s greatest era.

Here is everything that comes in the Ultra-Premium Collection:

• 29 Pokemon TCG 30th Celebration booster packs
• 1 Pokemon TCG 30th Celebration Classic Collection booster pack
• 1 foil promo card featuring Pikachu ex
• 1 foil promo card featuring Espeon ex or Umbreon ex (random selection)
• 1 playmat featuring Pikachu, Espeon or Umbreon
• 65 card sleeves
• 1 deck box
• 1 metal coin featuring Espeon or Umbreon
• 6 damage-counter dice
• 1 code card for Pokemon TCG Live

That adds up to 30 booster packs in a single box, which is more than most collections offer, and the accessories mean you could sit down and play with this box alone once you have a deck. The promo cards, playmat and metal coin share the same character theme, so everything feels designed together.

Since the Espeon or Umbreon items are a random selection, you will not know which one you get until you open it. If you prefer a smaller anniversary option, the Pokemon Trading Card Game 30th Celebration Ditto Premium Collection offers 8 packs and a display case.

What Sets the Ultra-Premium Collection Apart

The pack count is the first thing you notice. With 29 anniversary packs and a Classic Collection pack on top, you can open for a long session, share with friends or save packs for several game nights. The two foil promos give you a pair of headline cards. Add a playmat, a metal coin, sleeves, a deck box and damage-counter dice, and this box doubles as a full player kit.

Ultra-Premium Collection vs Elite Trainer Box

• Ultra-Premium Collection: 30 packs in total, 2 foil promos, a playmat, 65 sleeves, a deck box, a metal coin, dice and a code card.
• Elite Trainer Box: 9 packs with sleeves, Energy cards, dice and a storage box, for example the Pokemon Trading Card Game 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box.

Other premium sets from earlier releases, such as the Pokemon Trading Card Game Team Rocket Returns Moltres ex Ultra Premium Collection, follow a similar idea of packs plus accessories.

For collectors:

• Two full-art foil promos, including Pikachu ex
• A metal coin and a themed playmat for display or use
• 30 packs to chase more anniversary cards

For players:

• 65 sleeves and a deck box to protect a deck
• 6 damage-counter dice for tracking battles
• A Pokemon TCG Live code card for digital play

Planning Your Opening Session

With this many packs, it helps to plan. Many collectors open a few packs at a time, sort the cards and take a break, so the experience does not blur together. Put the foil promos aside first, then sleeve any standout pulls with the included sleeves. The playmat can go down on the table while you sort, and the metal coin and dice make it easy to try a quick game with some of your new cards.

Because the box holds so many items, it also makes a fine gift for a household that plays together. Everyone can claim a promo, a few packs and part of the accessories.
