Pokémon Unveils Huge New 30th Anniversary Collection Ahead of July Release

Bandai has revealed the complete prize lineup for Ichiban Kuji Pokémon 30th ANNIVERSARY vol.2 ahead of its release later this month, giving fans the first look at the celebratory collection of exclusive Pokémon merchandise.
The second wave of the Pokémon 30th Anniversary lottery continues the milestone celebration by spotlighting starter Pokémon from five different regions alongside a variety of commemorative collectibles and an exclusive oversized Pikachu prize.

Leading the lineup is the A Prize, a 30th Anniversary acrylic perpetual calendar decorated with the starter Pokémon from the Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar and Paldea regions, creating a display piece that can be enjoyed year-round.

The B Prize features a commemorative plate showcasing the silhouette of Female Pikachu in the border, with the Pokémon 30th anniversary logo in the center.

The C through G Prizes focus on plush toys inspired by each region’s starter trio, allowing winners to choose their favorite Pokémon from the Unova (Issyu in Japanese), Kalos, Alola, Galar, or Paldea generations.





The H Prize offers a selection of three commemorative drinking glasses featuring anniversary-themed designs, with winners able to choose their preferred version.

The I Prize includes five hand towels, each themed around one of the featured regions and decorated with its starter Pokémon alongside a shimmering Poké Ball motif at the center.

For the J Prize, fans can choose between a collection of rubber ties and rubber coasters, providing six different designs that can be used in everyday life or displayed as collectibles.

The K Prize consists of fifteen different anniversary metal charms distributed at random, each supplied with a chain long enough to attach to the plush toys from the C through G Prize categories.

Collectors who purchase the final ticket available at participating retailers will receive the Last One Prize, an exclusive Female Pikachu plush holding a special Pokémon 30th Anniversary logo plate that is only available through the Ichiban Kuji campaign.

The same oversized Female Pikachu plush will also be available through the “Double Chance Campaign,” with 50 winners set to be selected at random.

Each Ichiban Kuji Pokémon 30th ANNIVERSARY vol.2 ticket is priced at ¥750 (approx. $5 USD / £4 GBP), with the lottery scheduled to begin rolling out from July 18, 2026, at bookstores, hobby shops, selected drugstores, official Ichiban Kuji stores, Pokémon Centers, and other participating retailers across Japan while supplies last.
