To commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the official "30th CELEBRATION Special Card Set: First Partner" has been announced. Each box will randomly include one newly illustrated "First Partner" AR card set from the nine regions spanning Kanto to Paldea. Each set contains three cards. Additionally, the product comes with four "30th CELEBRATION" booster packs. The suggested retail price is 540, and it is scheduled for release on September 16, 2026. Releasing concurrently is the "30th CELEBRATION First Partner Card Frame Keychain Set," which highlights card frame keychains.

This special card collection is divided into nine regional sets: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and Paldea. Each set features the three First Partner Pokémon from its respective region, such as Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle from Kanto, or Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly from Paldea. All cards boast brand-new AR illustrations commemorating the 30th Anniversary.









Each box will randomly contain one of the nine special card packs, ensuring collectors receive a complete set of three First Partner AR cards from a single region. This differs from the Card Frame Keychain version, where individual cards are randomly drawn from a pool of 27. Consequently, this product is ideal for players looking to collect the 30th Anniversary illustrations by region. The box also includes four "30th CELEBRATION" booster packs, with six cards randomly sealed in each pack. Beyond the First Partner AR card set, collectors can also pull new cards from the 30th Anniversary expansion packs, making this product a comprehensive collection of commemorative illustration cards and booster packs in one package.
