Pokémon TCG · 30th Celebration Collector Guide
Pikachu takes center stage in Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration with a dedicated collection of 30 uniquely illustrated Pikachu cards. Each card has its own Pikachu numbering from 01/30 through 30/30, creating a complete anniversary mini-set for collectors to open, trade, and display.
In the English set, the 30-card run occupies 023/128 through 052/128. Pokémon has also confirmed that every 30th Celebration booster pack contains one Pikachu from this special thirty-card illustration lineup.

What Makes the 30 Pikachu Cards Special?
Rather than creating just one anniversary Pikachu chase card, 30th Celebration turns Pikachu into a collection within the collection. Thirty different illustrators bring their own artistic interpretation to Pokémon's iconic Mouse Pokémon.
The result ranges from classic Pokémon artwork and playful character scenes to experimental compositions, soft illustrated environments, and bold modern designs.
Each card also carries a dedicated Pikachu number: 01/30, 02/30, 03/30 and so on through 30/30, making the complete sequence especially easy to organize in a binder.

Thirty Cards, Thirty Different Takes on Pikachu
Seeing all thirty cards together is where this anniversary collection really stands out. The lineup brings together thirty different illustrators, including Ken Sugimori, Tomokazu Komiya, Atsuko Nishida, Shinji Kanda, sowsow, James Turner, Yuu Nishida, and many more.
Rather than feeling like thirty variations of the same card, the complete sequence becomes a miniature Pikachu art gallery. Collectors can organize the cards numerically, choose favorites by illustrator, or dedicate an entire binder section to the 01/30–30/30 collection.

Beyond the Numbered 30: More Pikachu Cards
The dedicated 01/30–30/30 collection is not the end of Pikachu's appearance in 30th Celebration. The English expansion also includes additional Pikachu ex cards, including two Special Illustration Rare cards built around the set's Day and Night theme.
How Hard Will It Be to Collect All 30 Pikachu Cards?
Every 30th Celebration booster pack contains one Pikachu from the thirty-card illustration lineup, but opening thirty packs does not guarantee a complete set. Duplicate pulls are still possible.
A practical collecting strategy is to organize each pull according to its 01/30–30/30 number, keep duplicate cards available for trades, and consider buying or trading for singles once only a few cards remain missing.
