Why the 30 Pikachu sell packs

Pokémon turns 30 (1996–2026) and 30th Celebration (set code M6a) marks it with a collection of 30 Pikachu, each by a different illustrator. It draws in customers who do not usually buy other sets: nostalgic collectors who started with the first cards and people looking for a gift.

Every pack has a Pikachu and every card is foil, so no pack disappoints: perfect for selling single packs. And since a 20-pack box cannot give you all 30 Pikachu, collectors come back for more.

The 30 Pikachu that make the box collectable

A different illustrator on every card, from 01/30 to 30/30: the reason your customers come back for more packs. Tap any card to see it full size.
