The Pokémon Company announces that Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration will release worldwide on 16 September 2025. The expansion is built around a lineup of Pikachu cards, which it is presenting to fans ahead of the launch.
According to the outlets, the set includes a large collection of rare Pikachu cards using Pikachu numbering, with one appearing in every booster pack. The Pokémon Company also highlights that the lineup features both reprints of classic cards and new artwork. Among the cards mentioned are two Pikachu ex special illustration rares, presented as reflecting a “day and night” theme.
Both sources frame the announcement as part of the broader 30th-anniversary celebration for the Pokémon TCG, emphasizing collector appeal and the size of the Pikachu-focused lineup. While Nintendo Life details specific card categories (including the ex special illustration rares), the other outlet more generally describes the expansion’s focus on Pikachu and the global release timing.
