What are the 30th Celebration ex Boxes?
The 30th Celebration ex boxes are a set of two boxed Pokémon products that will release on the 16th September 2026 as part of the 30th Celebration set which celebrates 30 years of the Pokémon Franchise. The two variations of this product, feature Sylveon ex or Greninja ex. Each box has a recommended retail price of £21.99 in the UK and $21.99 in the US.
The released images show that each box has a rectangular format with a cut out section revealing what’s inside. The background of each box reflects the Daytime and Nightime theme of this set, with the Sylveon box having a swirl of blue and green while the Greninja box has red and purple. Both boxes have the set artwork of multiple Pikachu outlined in grey against a white background. The 30th Anniversary symbol of Pikachu head and ears with 3 and 0 as its cheeks is shown in the bottom right corner, while the Pokémon character is shown bottom left.
The blurb on the back of each box reads:
‘Whether it’s day or night, it’s always a great time to celebrate 30 years of Pokémon. Sylveon ex or Greninja ex can add a special touch to your battles as a foil promo card in both ready-to-play and dazzling oversize versions. You also get four booster packs from the special 30th Celebration expansion to keep the fun going.’

Are the 30th Celebration ex boxes good value for money?
Each box contains four 30th Celebration Booster Packs, 1 half art card Promo Card and 1 oversized Promo Card. The promo card is likely to be worth around £4 / $4 and the oversized card around the same as its regular counterpart, but it is these special celebratory Booster Packs that are likely to have value. As a special set, there are no Booster Boxes and the Booster Bundle is not available until October. This means that these celebratory Booster Packs will be in very high demand and are likely to sell at a much higher rate than regular Booster Packs. They are also very collectible as they differ from regular packs in that all cards are foil and all packs include a Pikachu card.
Sealed products are currently selling for many times above manufacturer’s recommended price, particularly by scalpers who buy up large quantities of product to sell at an inflated price. Always check seller’s prices against the recommended price when deciding whether or not to purchase.
In conclusion it would seem that this Pokémon product is good value for money, particularly if purchasing at recommended price.
