One of the best things about Pokémon TCG’s 30th Celebration Collection is that, for the first time ever, you’re guaranteed one of these gorgeous 30 uniquely illustrated Pikachu cards in every single booster pack you open.
Each card features a distinct art style from a different legendary or rising illustrator - each style is so different and unique!
I’ve ranked all 30 of these Pikachu chase cards by artwork, using affordability as a tiebreaker based on the market median price on TCGplayer.
Keeping the hobby accessible matters now more than ever, and these cards are wonderfully affordable - with some seeing market drops of over 90% since release week.
Artwork is subjective, so to keep it fair, I averaged my own scores with four close friends from my Poké Discord who are also chasing this Pikachu master set!
Before we jump in, for those after 30th Celebration boosters, our best suggestion right now is to request an invite from Amazon for the ETB at least, priced much more reasonably compared to other retailers. Invites will be sent out soon! There are also preorders available for booster bundles at just $45, which is an insanely good offering!
I love Yuu Nishida as an artist! She won the first ever Pokémon Card Game Illustration Grand Prix; a contest that gives unknown artists a shot at having their work turned into a Pokémon card, and has been an Pokémon TCG official illustrator since 2019. Her pastry chef Sylveon V alternate art from Evolving Skies and the Dachsbun ex from Japan’s Stellar Miracle are two of my favorite cards of all time.
