Pokémon TCG 30th Anniversary: Card List Reportedly Leaks
Scans of the Pokémon TCG 30th Anniversary set have leaked online, several months before its scheduled release on September 16, 2026. The images, which surfaced on X and Reddit, reportedly come from the card-list booklet included in an Elite Trainer Box obtained early. If these documents are authentic, they reveal most of the rare cards in this anniversary set, including its most sought-after chase cards. The Pokémon Company has not confirmed the leak so far, so it should be treated as a rumor.
What do the leaked scans show?
According to posts shared on the Reddit PokemonTCG forum, someone reportedly got hold of an Elite Trainer Box ahead of release.

A leak to confirm
Caution is still warranted. While the scans look credible, no official source has confirmed them to date, and the current context of AI image manipulation calls for reserve. Several cards on the list do, however, match elements already seen in official promotional visuals, which strengthens the leak's plausibility.
Until The Pokémon Company officially reveals the set's contents, this information should be considered a rumor. We will update this article as soon as the cards are officially confirmed.
