Pokemon 30th UPC
The Pokemon 30th UPC — the 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection — is the anniversary year's marquee box, releasing November 6, 2026. Day features Espeon ex, Night features Umbreon ex, and both hide the set's most-wanted reprint pack.
Quick answer: each 30th UPC holds 29x 30th Celebration packs, 1x Classic Collection pack (3 etched reprint cards), a foil Pikachu ex promo, a version promo (Espeon ex in Day, Umbreon ex in Night), playmat, sleeves, deck box, coin, dice, acrylic display and a TCG Live code. Reported MSRP is $179.99.
Day vs Night
| Day | Night | |
|---|---|---|
| Version promo | Espeon ex (MEP 108) | Umbreon ex (MEP 110) |
| Metal coin | Espeon | Umbreon |
| Box art theme | Day out in the sun | Night out on stage |
| Everything else | Identical — same packs, same Pikachu ex, same accessories | |
The Classic Collection pack
The reason this UPC out-prices 29 loose packs.
3 etched reprints
One guaranteed pack of three cards pulled from the Classic Collection — 30 nostalgic reprints of iconic cards.
The chase cards
Charizard (~$155) and Lugia (~$192) headline the reprint list — early singles prices that have the whole TCG market watching.
Better odds
Classic cards are near-impossible pulls in normal 100+ card packs. In this pack they are 1 of only 30 possible cards.
