30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Day Edition (Espeon ex): Contents, Promos and MSRP (2026)
By Dexhaul Team · October 30, 2026 · 6 min read
The 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection Day Edition packs 30 booster packs, two exclusive Espeon ex foil promos, and a complete accessory set into one anniversary box releasing November 6, 2026.
Its MSRP is $179.99, per the ICv2 announcement. At that price, the 30th Celebration Day Edition works out to roughly $6.00 per booster pack, with the promos, playmat, sleeves, deck box, metal coin, and dice coming at effectively no extra cost over buying packs individually.

What's Inside the 30th Celebration Day Edition
Both editions share the same pack count and accessory bundle. The Day Edition's distinguishing items are its Espeon ex promo and a Day-themed Pikachu ex promo, neither of which appears in any other 30th Celebration product.
| Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 30th Celebration booster packs | 29 | Standard ME05 set boosters |
| 30th Celebration Classic Collection booster pack | 1 | Base Set-era reprints; distinct from the standard set packs |
| Foil promo: Espeon ex | 1 | Exclusive to the Day Edition |
| Foil promo: Pikachu ex (Day-themed) | 1 | Different illustration from the Night Edition's Pikachu ex |
| Playmat | 1 | Features Pikachu, Espeon, and friends |
| Card sleeves | 65 | Enough for a full 60-card deck with spares |
| Deck box | 1 | |
| Metal coin featuring Espeon | 1 | Different design from the Night Edition's Umbreon coin |
| Damage-counter dice | 6 | |
| Pokémon TCG Live code card | 1 |
Total booster packs: 30 (29 standard plus one Classic Collection). The two promo cards are the key reason to choose this edition over the Night Edition.

MSRP and Cost Per Pack
The $179.99 MSRP makes each of the 30 booster packs about $6.00, placing the Day Edition in line with the cost of buying 30th Celebration packs individually. All accessories and promo cards come on top of that at no additional charge.
| Price point | Per pack (30 packs) | Accessories and promos |
|---|---|---|
| MSRP: $179.99 (per ICv2) | $6.00 | Included at no extra cost |
| Pre-order floor (observed Oct 30, 2026): ~$489.99 USD | ~$16.33 | Promo exclusivity drives the premium |
| Pre-order high (observed Oct 30, 2026): ~$685.00 USD | ~$22.83 |
Secondary market prices reflect pre-release collector demand. All copies currently available are pre-orders, shipping on or after November 6, 2026. Prices may shift after the release date.

Day Edition vs Night Edition: What Changes
The Day and Night editions carry the same MSRP, the same 30-pack count, and the same accessories. Four items differ between them.
| Day Edition | Night Edition | |
|---|---|---|
| Character promo | Espeon ex | Umbreon ex |
| Pikachu ex promo art | Day-themed illustration | Night-themed, illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN |
| Metal coin | Espeon | Umbreon |
| Playmat design | Pikachu and Espeon | Pikachu and Umbreon |
| MSRP | $179.99 | $179.99 |
| Release date | November 6, 2026 | November 6, 2026 |
Neither Pikachu ex promo matches the other. The Night Edition's Pikachu ex is a distinct YOSHIROTTEN illustration; the Day Edition's Pikachu ex uses a separate Day-themed art treatment.
Together the two boxes contain four unique promo cards, none of which appears in any other 30th Celebration product. Collectors targeting a complete promo set need both editions.

The Classic Collection Booster Pack, Explained
Every 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection includes one Classic Collection booster alongside the 29 standard set packs. That one pack is not the same as a regular 30th Celebration booster.
The Classic Collection booster contains reprints of cards from the original Pokémon TCG Base Set era (1998–2000) in retro holofoil treatments. It is the only sealed product in the entire 30th Celebration line that puts vintage-reprint cards in your hands without purchasing original 1998–2001 product. The official 30th Celebration set page on pokemon.com confirms the pack distribution for both editions.
For anyone curious about the full 30th Celebration product wave, the hub page on DexHaul covers every product across all five release dates.
Release Date and Pre-Order Status
The Day Edition releases November 6, 2026, the same day as the Night Edition. All copies currently available are pre-orders.
| Milestone | Date | Status |
|---|---|---|
| MSRP and contents announced | 2026 | Confirmed (ICv2) |
| Pre-orders active at independent merchants | Now | Live |
| English release date | November 6, 2026 | Confirmed |
The November 6 date aligns with the broader Wave 4 drop: the Night Edition, Figure Collection Mew, Figure Collection Mewtwo, and the Ditto Premium Collection all release the same day. See the 30th Celebration release hub for the full five-wave calendar.
Who Should Buy the Day Edition
The Day Edition makes the most sense for three buyer types: Espeon collectors, anyone trying to complete the 30th Celebration promo set, and anyone looking for a premium self-contained gift for a Pokémon TCG player.
The accessory bundle means the recipient arrives ready to play: 65 sleeves, a deck box, a playmat, and a metal coin all in one box. That is the entire setup for a new or returning player, without a second shopping trip.
Skip it if the promos hold no appeal and you only want booster packs. Buying 30 individual packs from any currently available set at MSRP costs less, and the UPC premium is driven almost entirely by the exclusive promos and the collectible accessories.
Also consider the 30th Celebration ETB vs UPC comparison if a $179.99 entry point matters to you. The ETB offers 9 packs and one promo at a significantly lower price.
