Pokémon China has revealed a Simplified Chinese 30th Celebration Coin Set built around randomized Pikachu coins and the anniversary booster expansion. The 68 CNY set goes on sale at 10:00 AM China Standard Time on September 16, 2026.
Collector Takeaway
This release is a coin-first anniversary product: two randomized Pikachu coins are paired with three booster packs, while the frame and black-and-gold accessories create a separate display ecosystem.
Collectors targeting the full 30-design run should plan around random duplicates and the distinction between illustration designs and finishes. The safest reference for launch timing, price, and contents remains Pokémon China's product page.
A 30-slot coin display frame, a two-player rubber playmat, and a 360-pocket card binder launch at the same time. This guide separates the confirmed Chinese product specifications from the wider international 30th Celebration lineup.
Two-Player Playmat and 360-Pocket Binder
The 300 CNY rubber playmat uses a black-and-gold two-player layout with mirrored battle zones, bench positions, Prize areas, deck spaces, and discard spaces. The 30th-anniversary emblem sits at the center of each player's side.
The 180 CNY PU-leather binder has 9-pocket pages and 360 pockets in total. Its black cover, gold Pikachu anniversary emblem, type symbols along the spine, and themed zipper continue the same accessory design system.
Three 30th Celebration Booster Packs per Set
Each coin set also includes three Simplified Chinese 30th Celebration booster packs. Every pack contains six randomly inserted foil cards. Pokémon China's expansion announcement confirms that each pack includes one of 30 Pikachu cards illustrated by 30 different artists.
The booster packs connect this regional coin product to the broader 30th Celebration expansion launch, but the coin selection and Chinese accessory bundle described here are specific to Pokémon China's product listing.
Collector Notes Before Buying
- Two random coins per box means completing all 30 illustrations requires trading or duplicate management; buying 15 boxes does not guarantee a complete set.
- The hidden-finish 99:1 figure is an official production ratio, not a published per-box pull rate.
- The display frame, playmat, and binder are separate products and are not included in the 68 CNY coin set.
- Official images are product design mockups; the final physical items and retailer availability take precedence.
Thirty Pikachu Designs Across Four Finishes
The coin pool contains 30 different Pikachu illustrations. Every illustration can appear in four treatments: three regular color finishes and one hidden gold finish. Each sealed coin set contains two random coins, so neither the illustration nor the finish is guaranteed.
Pokémon China says the three regular finishes are produced in equal proportions and gives a 99:1 production ratio between regular and hidden coins. That is a manufacturing ratio, not a promise that a particular number of boxes will produce a hidden coin or a specific Pikachu design.
A Display Frame Sized for the Full 30-Design Set
The separate 200 CNY display frame has 30 shaped slots, matching the number of Pikachu illustrations in the coin pool. It uses a black-and-gold anniversary design with a clear protective sheet and magnetic construction.
Because every illustration has four finishes, one frame can display one complete 30-design run, not all 120 illustration-and-finish combinations.
How the Coin Set Fits the Global Anniversary Release
The wider 30th Celebration expansion also launches in participating markets on September 16. Official international materials confirm an all-foil expansion, 30 Pikachu cards, 30 returning classic cards, and region-specific product configurations.
International collections may also contain coins, binders, or playmats, but their contents and prices are different. Use the Pokémon China specifications above when evaluating this 68 CNY Simplified Chinese coin set.
