19 of the 30 Pikachu from Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration revealed

Pikachu will be one of the main stars of Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration. When the original report was published, PokeBeach had collected 19 of the 30 Pikachu cards prepared for the expansion; all 19 appear in the complete gallery below.

The collection is scheduled for a worldwide release on September 16, 2026. That date is still in the future, so the available information concerns a preview rather than a product already on sale.

The 19 Pikachu cards revealed so far

The official concept includes 30 holographic Pikachu cards, each illustrated by a different artist. The original source counts 19 revealed designs, leaving 11 still to be shown.

The gallery below preserves the published image order and contains exactly those 19 Japanese Pikachu cards, also identified by the numbers visible in their official files.

The cards shown are 017, 019, 020, 022, 024, 026, 027, 028, 030, 031, 032, 033, 034, 035, 036, 038, 041, 043 and 044. The numbering is not consecutive because these are positions within the expansion, but together they make up all 19 Pikachu gathered by the original report.

At the time the source was published, only four of these Pikachu had been officially revealed in English. It is therefore important to distinguish the illustrations already visible in Japanese materials from the cards whose international text has been shown.

According to PokeBeach, every card uses a holographic finish with sparkles and fireworks over the illustration, reinforcing the celebratory theme without turning the 30 designs into one repeated card.

How the 30 Pikachu are obtained from boosters

The official Japanese page confirms that every booster contains one of the 30 Pikachu cards. A specific design is not guaranteed, so a pack assures one Pikachu from the selection but does not let players choose which one.

The Japanese product description lists six holographic cards per booster. The official international showcase describes five foil cards—including one of the 30 Pikachu—plus one foil Basic Energy. These descriptions apply to different markets, so every detail should not be transferred automatically from one format to the other.

Worldwide release on September 16

Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration is scheduled to launch on September 16, 2026 in Japan and internationally. More cards, localized images and market-specific product details may be announced before then.

Collectors can also read about the Pikachu ex Day and Night cards already revealed, another confirmed part of the celebration. For the booster Pikachu, the current count is clear: 19 known designs, 11 pending and one Pikachu guaranteed per pack.
