The Pokémon Company will reveal its Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) 30th anniversary product line with a dedicated video on YouTube at 14:00 BST / 15:00 CET / 06:00 PT / 09:00 ET on 1 June.
The announcement follows an initial tease during February’s Pokémon Presents showcase and precedes a planned simultaneous global launch in participating markets in 2026 that The Pokémon Company confirmed earlier this year.
Background and context
The Pokémon TCG celebration marks three decades of one of the franchise’s most enduring products.
The brief teaser shown during the February Pokémon Presents included neon Mew and Mewtwo artwork, the only pieces of the anniversary range that have been officially revealed so far.
Serebii.net first highlighted the timing of the upcoming YouTube reveal after the initial tease, and The Pokémon Company has confirmed the video will stream on its official channel.
What The Pokémon Company has said
In February, The Pokémon Company characterized the forthcoming releases as an eye-catching collection of anniversary products and indicated the series would be released simultaneously worldwide in participating markets in 2026.
The company has also said it aims to ensure fair and safe purchasing opportunities for customers.
Specifically in Japan, The Pokémon Company has stated it is considering measures that could include government identification checks to limit scalping and improve access for genuine buyers.
What to expect and where to watch
The June 1 video will be the primary official reveal for the anniversary line; further details, including product breakdowns, pricing, and exact availability windows for individual regions, are expected to follow from The Pokémon Company after the reveal.
Fans should watch The Pokémon Company’s YouTube channel at the scheduled time for the full announcement.
Collectors and players who follow the franchise on platforms such as Nintendo Switch and related digital storefronts like the eShop may also look for complementary digital announcements or tie-ins during future showcases such as Pokémon Presents or Nintendo Direct events.
The June 1 reveal is a key moment for collectors and the broader Pokémon community, and The Pokémon Company’s stated anti-scalping considerations—particularly the potential use of government ID in Japan—are likely to be of interest to retailers and fans tracking how high-demand releases will be managed in 2026.
