The 30th anniversary Pokemon knockout collection is one of the English Pokemon TCG products released with 30th CELEBRATION on September 16, 2026, and the official showcase lists an Eevee foil promo, a plastic coin and two booster packs.
This guide states what the official Pokemon TCG pages say about that English product and about the English set around it. It then sets out the Japanese 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) booster box that we list, for collectors who prefer Japanese prints, and lists the differences the official pages verify. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
The English Knock Out Collection is dated September 16, 2026 on the official Pokemon TCG showcase, with an Eevee foil promo, a plastic coin and 2 boosters. For Japanese prints, our M6a 30th CELEBRATION Booster Box is currently listed with the No Shrink option at ¥23,447 (~$152) and the Sealed option at ¥26,390 (~$171).
What the English Knock Out Collection Contains
According to the official Pokemon TCG product showcase, the Knock Out Collection is dated September 16, 2026, the same day as the English 30th CELEBRATION expansion. The showcase summary lists three things inside: one foil Eevee promo card, one plastic coin and two booster packs.
The full gallery page for this product is the place to confirm the exact contents and card art before you buy. The official pages do not print a US dollar price for it, so this guide prints none.

The English 30th CELEBRATION Set Around It
The English 30th CELEBRATION expansion is tagged with the Mega Evolution Series on pokemon.com and is described as the first simultaneous worldwide release for the Pokemon TCG. The official 30th CELEBRATION page states over 150 cards, including 30 Pikachu rare cards, 30 iconic cards from the Classic Collection, more than 20 new illustration rare and special illustration rare cards, and two Futuristic rare cards by YOSHIROTTEN, Mewtwo and Mew.
Per the official product showcase dated June 30, 2026, an English booster pack holds 5 foil cards, including one of the 30 Pikachu, plus 1 foil Basic Energy. The Classic Collection reprints, such as Charizard from Base Set, are stated on the official pages as not legal to play in the Standard format.

The Japanese 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) Set
The Japanese set is the MEGA expansion pack “30th CELEBRATION” (M6a). Per the official Japanese 30th CELEBRATION site, it released on September 16, 2026, at ¥360 per pack (tax included). Each pack holds 6 foil cards, with a Basic Energy guaranteed and a YOSHIROTTEN design, and the set includes 30 Pikachu drawn by 30 illustrators and 30 historic cards reprinted in a special specification that is not Standard-legal.
The official Japanese information page states that the 30th-anniversary products released worldwide at the same time for the first time in the card game’s history, with some regions excluded. Both official sites show the same headline features: the YOSHIROTTEN Futuristic Mewtwo ex and Mew ex, the 30 Pikachu and the 30 classic cards.
The English official text does not name the Japanese M6a set, so this guide does not present the two as an official one-to-one match. It compares them by the features both sites print.
English Knock Out Collection vs Japanese M6a Box
| Point | English Knock Out Collection | Japanese M6a booster box |
|---|---|---|
| Language of the cards | English | Japanese |
| Date | September 16, 2026 | September 16, 2026 (pack release) |
| Pack contents | English 30th CELEBRATION pack: 5 foil cards + 1 foil Basic Energy | 6 foil cards per pack, Basic Energy guaranteed |
| Pack price on the official page | No price printed | ¥360 per pack (tax included) |
| Extras | Eevee foil promo, plastic coin | Booster packs only in our listing |
| 30 Pikachu | Stated as part of the English set | Stated as part of the Japanese set |
| Classic Collection reprints | 30 cards, not Standard-legal | 30 cards, not Standard-legal |
The practical difference is scope. The English collection holds two packs, a foil promo and a coin. The Japanese box is a sealed box of Japanese M6a packs, so it does not include the Eevee promo or the coin.

Which One Fits Your Collection
Choose the English collection if you want English-language cards, an Eevee promo and a coin in one product, and if you are happy with two packs. Its contents and date are as printed on the official showcase, and the gallery page has the full list.
Choose Japanese product if you want Japanese prints, the Japanese card frames and the Japanese pack format of 6 foil cards. Our Japanese vs English Pokemon cards guide covers the general differences between the two languages.
