Overview

Celebrate three decades of Pokémon with the 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box, a complete anniversary package combining nine foil-packed boosters, a specially created Nidorina promotional card and a full selection of storage and gameplay accessories.

Every 30th Celebration booster contains five foil cards plus one foil Basic Energy card. One of the five cards is guaranteed to be a Pikachu rare drawn from 30 different designs, giving each pack its own connection to Pokémon's 30th-anniversary celebrations.

Across the nine included boosters, the box provides 45 randomly inserted foil cards and nine foil Basic Energy cards before any duplication, alongside the 16 additional foil Basic Energy cards supplied with the ETB.

The fixed full-art Nidorina promo gives the box an anniversary centrepiece before a single pack is opened. Its illustration contains 30 Nidorina, a deliberate reference to Nidorina being Pokémon number 0030 in the National Pokédex.

Key Features

📦 9 Anniversary Booster Packs: A substantial opening experience from the English 30th Celebration expansion.

✨ All-Foil Pack Format: Every randomly inserted card and Basic Energy found inside the boosters features a foil finish.

⚡ Pikachu in Every Pack: Each booster contains one of 30 different Pikachu rare cards, with unique artwork to collect across the set.

🎨 Full-Art Nidorina Promo: The included promotional card features 30 Nidorina in a playful nod to National Pokédex number 0030.

🛡️ Complete ETB Accessories: Includes 65 card sleeves, foil Energy cards, dice, a coin and a player’s guide.

🗃️ Collector’s Storage Box: The sturdy ETB box includes six dividers for organising cards, accessories and pulls.

About the Nidorina Promo

The full-art foil Nidorina promotional card is a guaranteed inclusion rather than a random booster-pack pull. Its artwork is packed with 30 individual Nidorina, linking the Pokémon’s National Pokédex number directly to the 30th-anniversary theme.

That numerical connection makes Nidorina an unusually thoughtful choice for the ETB promo. Rather than relying only on one of the franchise’s usual headline Pokémon, the card builds the anniversary reference into both the featured Pokémon and the illustration itself.

30th Celebration Set Highlights

• 30 Pikachu Rare Cards: Every booster contains one Pikachu rare, selected from 30 different illustrations created for the anniversary set.
