Pokémon 30th-anniversary boxes introduced

The Pokémon 30th-anniversary collection is launching two large Ultra-Premium Collections, each containing thirty boosters and promotional cards. One version features Mentali and a daytime theme, while the other includes Noctali and a nighttime theme.

Invitation required for purchase

To attempt to obtain one of these boxes on Amazon, users must first request an invitation. This registration does not guarantee the box, as only selected customers will be able to place an order.

Ultra-Premium format history

Pokémon returns to the Ultra-Premium format for its 30th anniversary, a format previously used for the 25th anniversary with Celebrations and later adapted for Dracaufeu and the 151 expansion. These boxes contain more boosters and accessories than standard boxes, along with exclusive promotional cards.

Box contents and pricing

Each Ultra-Premium box contains 29 boosters from the 30th Anniversary expansion, a special booster from the Classic Collection, a shiny Pikachu-ex card, a Mentali-ex or Noctali-ex card, a game mat, card protectors, a deck case, a metallic piece of Mentali or Noctali, damage marker dice, and a code card for the Pokémon Live Trading Card Game. Each box costs 229.99 euros, and both versions together cost nearly 460 euros.

Other anniversary products available

Amazon is also preparing pre-orders for the Règne Delta expansion and other boxes from the 30th anniversary collection. Additional products include the Metamorph Premium Box, Mew and Mewtwo figurine collections, and various tripacks with different Pokémon.

Release dates and pre-order process

The Ultra-Premium Noctali box and the Règne Delta expansion are expected on November 6, 2026, while the Mentali box will be released on November 27. Users are advised to log in to their Amazon accounts and request an invitation now to try to pre-order these items. Registration does not guarantee an invitation, and users will need to receive one from Amazon to place an order.

Caution with fake shops

Numerama recently reported the registration of 58 fake Pokémon card shops in just a few weeks. If an unknown shop shows stock when major retailers are out of stock, users should verify the shop's identity, address, and sales conditions before providing banking details.
