The Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration expansion has been officially revealed today, a special addition to the trading card game to celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary. It will release worldwide on September 16.
Fans will have several reasons to be excited about the upcoming expansion, if they can get their hands on it at stores:

- A new rarity, Futuristic rare, will be making its debut featuring illustrations by Japanese artist YOSHIROTTEN
