Celebrate 30 Years of Pokemon History!

Pokémon TCG 30th Anniversary: The Celebration Is Here!

30 years of Pokémon. One massive celebration. And Gamesland Canada is getting ready!

2026 marks an incredible milestone for Pokémon as the Pokémon Trading Card Game celebrates its 30th anniversary. To celebrate, Pokémon is releasing an entire lineup of special Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration products featuring new artwork, returning classics, special promos, and plenty of exciting products for collectors and players.

And the best part?

🎉 Gamesland Canada Will Have the Full 30th Celebration Collection!

We’re excited to announce that Gamesland Canada plans to carry the full lineup of Pokémon 30th Celebration products as they become available.

Whether you're looking to rip packs, build your collection, hunt for special cards, or simply own a piece of Pokémon history, we're working to make Gamesland Canada your destination for the 30th Anniversary celebration.

The main 30th Celebration expansion officially releases September 16, 2026, with additional products continuing to arrive throughout the fall and into the holiday season. Pokémon has confirmed that the anniversary expansion will feature foil cards in every booster pack, including a Basic Energy, along with classic cards, new artwork, and a Pikachu card in every pack.

🃏 What Products Are Coming?

The 30th Celebration lineup is much bigger than a single booster set.

⭐ 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box

A must-have for collectors and players, the Elite Trainer Box includes:

  • 9 Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration booster packs

  • Special full-art Nidorina promo card

  • Card sleeves

  • Energy cards

  • Dice and markers

  • Collector's box with dividers

  • Player's guide

The ETB is scheduled for release September 16, 2026.

Each blister includes an Eevee promo card, commemorative coin, and 2 booster packs.

🥊 30th Celebration Knock Out Collections

These smaller collections are another great way to get into the anniversary set, featuring an Eevee promo, commemorative coin, and 2 booster packs.

🌟 And That's Just the Beginning...

The Pokémon 30th Anniversary celebration continues beyond the September launch.

Additional products are scheduled throughout the fall, including Booster Bundles, Mini Tins, Tech Sticker Collections, and special Figure Collections featuring Mew and Mewtwo. Pokémon has also announced additional anniversary products arriving in November.

At Gamesland Canada, our goal is to offer the complete 30th Celebration lineup as these products are released.

That means you won't have to choose just one product — you can build your entire anniversary collection with us.
