Every Pokémon TCG September 2026 Release to Know

September 2026 is dominated by 30th Celebration

September 2026 brings a full slate of Pokémon TCG releases built around the new 30th Celebration expansion. The set is highlighted by new illustration rare cards, reprints of popular cards in the Classic Collection, and 30 different Pikachu rare cards, each with a unique illustration.

Each 30th Celebration booster pack includes five foil cards, one of which is one of the 30 Pikachu rare cards, plus one foil Basic Energy card. Those booster packs are not being sold on their own in this release window, so the September products below are the main ways to open the expansion.

Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Tech Sticker Collection

Available September 16, 2026, the 30th Celebration Tech Sticker Collection pairs a foil promo card with a matching tech sticker sheet. The collection comes in two versions, featuring either Alolan Exeggutor or Lucario as the promo card and sticker subject.

Each collection also includes three booster packs from the 30th Celebration expansion.

Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration 2-Pack Blister

The 30th Celebration 2-Pack Blister includes a foil Pokémon TCG card featuring Eevee, a plastic coin, and two booster packs from the expansion.

Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Knock Out Collection

The 30th Celebration Knock Out Collection also features a foil Eevee card, along with a plastic coin and two booster packs from 30th Celebration.

Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Poster Collection

The Poster Collection includes a poster featuring images of more than 160 cards from the 30th Celebration expansion. It also comes with foil promo cards featuring Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, plus three booster packs.

The three Legendary Pokémon promos bring a Kanto-era focus to the release while the poster gives collectors a broad look at the expansion’s card lineup.

Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Pokémon ex Box - Sylveon ex & Greninja ex

The 30th Celebration Pokémon ex Box comes in two versions, featuring either Sylveon ex or Greninja ex as a foil promo card. Each box includes both a ready-to-play promo and an oversize version of the featured card.

Collectors also get four booster packs from the 30th Celebration expansion.

Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box

The 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is one of the most complete product options in the lineup. Each box includes nine booster packs from the expansion and a full-art promo card featuring Nidorina.

Along with the cards, the box contains 65 card sleeves, 16 foil Basic Energy cards, damage-counter dice, a coin-flip die, a plastic coin, a sturdy storage box with six dividers, and a player’s guide for building decks with cards from the set.

Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box

The Pokémon Center exclusive Elite Trainer Box builds on the standard version with extra contents. It includes 11 booster packs instead of nine and comes with two full-art promo cards featuring Nidorina.

One of those promo cards includes the Pokémon Center logo, making the exclusive box distinct from the regular Elite Trainer Box release.
