The Pokemon Company has announced the Pokémon 30th anniversary Trading Card Game set will launch worldwide on September 16.
Every 30th Celebration expansion booster pack will include one of 30 unique Pikachu foil cards. Each has been illustrated by a different article and a new rarity will debut with the set - Futuristic Rares. Mew and Mewtwo are the first two Pokémon to have the new rarity and feature new visuals illustrated by renowned Japanese artist Yoshirotten.
"Each Futuristic rare card will depict Pokémon in striking artwork evocative of hope toward an unknown future," said The Pokemon Company.
The company added, "Classic cards included in Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration booster packs will not be legal for play in the Standard format but are eligible in formats that allow the original prints of these cards."
Classic cards from the original base set will also be reprinted as part of the set.
