Questions about the 30th Celebration card list
How many cards are in the 30th Celebration set list?
176 cards in all: 103 in the main set, plus 70 secret rares numbered 104 to 1007. That's 163 Pokémon, 5 Trainers and 8 Energy cards in the full Japanese card list.
What are the best hits in 30th Celebration?
The ones everyone hopes for are the 10 Special Art Rares (SAR), and the star of the show is Pikachu ex (126/103). Just behind them are 20 Art Rares (AR), with gorgeous art for Alolan Exeggutor, Moltres and Lapras, plus 10 Double Rares (RR). All told, 30 of the 176 cards are Art Rare (AR) or better, so there's plenty to pull.
When did 30th Celebration come out?
30th Celebration was released in Japan on 16 September 2026, in the Mega Evolution era. It came out after Storm Emeralda.
What do SAR, AR and RR mean on 30th Celebration cards?
They're the rarity codes printed on Japanese cards, and they don't line up neatly with the English ones. In this set you'll find 10 SAR (Special Art Rare), 20 AR (Art Rare) and 10 RR (Double Rare).
Why do some 30th Celebration cards have no rarity symbol?
Don't worry, it's not a misprint. Japanese high-class sets like 30th Celebration reprint their regular cards without a rarity symbol, so 104 of the cards here don't have one. Only the hits get a rarity code.
About this card list
30th Celebration is a Japanese Mega Evolution set released on 16 September 2026. Its card list has 176 cards: 163 Pokémon, 5 Trainers and 8 Energy cards, drawn by 118 illustrators.
Japanese rarities are shown with the letters printed on the cards (SAR, AR, SR and so on). They are not the same as the English rarities: a Japanese Ultra Rare (UR) is the gold card.
