Every Pokémon TCG expansion is unique, but the Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection takes extraordinary to another level.

Combine all that with an enormous and impressively sculpted commemorative figure of Gigantamax Pikachu, and you have the ultimate Pikachu collection, fully charged up and ready to take on the world! The Ultra-Premium Collection is the most expensive product in the whole range, but in exchange gets you some of the most exciting items. Build your card collection by scanning code cards, exchanging Crystals earned in-game for booster packs, and participating in daily quests to level up your Battle Pass featuring cards from top-tier competitive decks.As you’ve probably noticed, the further we get down our list, the heavier the investment in sealed product becomes, but that’s always going to be the case as we make our way through vintage cards. Team Rocket is my favourite ever set – this is because it’s the only one I actually managed to complete as a kid!

Graduated with a degree in Journalism from Oklahoma Christian University and also previously covered the NBA. Celebrations is a mini-expansion that honours the entire history of the game by bringing back iconic cards and mechanics in a series of special bundle products. There will also be a “special subset” of 25 cards included that are remakes of iconic cards like Base Set Charizard and Tapu Lele-GX. They feature Pokemon who belong to the key gym leaders at that time such as; Blaine, Sabrina, Giovanni, Erika, Misty, Brock, Lt.Celebrations will act as a bridge between newer and older generations of Pokémon fans, putting a spin on some discontinued special card-types, like Delta Species, Prime, Trainer Pokémon, Light Pokémon, and LV. The Celebrations Collector Chest is a metal tin that swaps the sheer bulk of cards found in an Elite Trainer Box with a wider variety of Pokemon TCG-themed memorabilia. Legendary Collection is probably the only set in Pokemon history where the reverse holo’s are more collectible than the actual holos!

Though there's been a lot going on, including an album featuring Katy Perry and Post Malone, promotions with McDonalds, Oreo, and General Mills' cereal, and even an upcoming remake of Diamond and Pearl, the most exciting part of the whole year is easily the Pokemon TCG's Celebrations expansion. Celebrate 25 years of Pokémon with a collection that highlights some of the game’s most memorable moments and Pokémon. Featuring a Classic Collection in addition to other exciting cards, this expansion features a celebratory parade of cards you won’t find anywhere else. These cards could come from the 25-strong Celebrations expansion proper, or the 25-card Classic collection, which are reprints of cards from right across the TCG's history, from Base Set through to Guardians Rising.This powerful collection includes two Pokémon TCG: Celebrations boosters, as well as Dragapult Prime and its ghostly stealth giving you the power to strike at just the right moment. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Pokemon and it could be argued that the Trading Card Game is as strong now as it was in the heights of Pokémania in the late 90s / early 00s. The Pokemon Celebrations Set is likely to be printed heavily, although some products may be more elusive than others due to the many different parts that each product contains. Plus the pull rate is actually very good, as 1 in 12 packs contains a holographic, which can make these investment pieces incredibly tempting to open! The neat thing about Pikachu V-UNION is that it is a collaborative piece between 25 artists from the TCG's history, like Jiro Sasumo, Yuu Nishida, Akira Egawa, Kawayoo, Sowsow, Atsuko Nishida, and Mitsuhiro Arita.

Every product has at least a few bundled in, so it's still worth looking at exactly what's included in them. This gives a lovely silhouette effect of the Pokemon which has many dimensions as you tilt it towards the light. Also this set was released a good few years after the Wizards of the Coast era, so the volume of boxes printed was certainly a lot less in comparison to the buzz of 1999. Pikachu V-UNION is the fourth V-UNION product released for the game, which lets you play a mega-sized combined card if you can get all four pieces of it into your discard pile.The official release date for Pokemon Celebrations is October 8th 2021 but some products have their own unique date. The Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Lance's Charizard V and Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Dark Sylveon V will be available on October 8, 2021, where Pokémon TCG products are sold.
