There are 14 different products to buy, each with its own promo card and other TCG goodies
Pokémon fans knew that the 30th anniversary trading card set would be a hot commodity, but now there’s proof. The Pokémon Company just revealed the full slate of Pokémon Trading Card Game products that will be available for purchase starting on Sept. 16, including Elite Trainer Boxes, Booster Bundles, and a pricey-looking Ultra Premium box. Many of these releases will include special promo cards that are sure to entice collectors.
As fans know, the anniversary set features 30 different Pikachu cards as well as six unique holofoil cards. These holofoil cards are a part of a new rarity type (“Future rare”) with a platinum-like finish. The two big chase cards there will be Mew and Mewtwo, but the rest of the set doesn’t slouch. Cards for favorites like Eevee (and its many Eeveelutions), Ditto, Lucario, and Kanto’s legendary Pokémon also make an appearance.
