The Pokémon Trading Card Game’s 30th Celebration Battle Decks starring Espeon ex and Umbreon ex launched October 30, 2026. Each ready-to-play deck contains 60 foil cards, plus an exclusive illustration rare-style promo featuring a different Pokémon.
The Pokémon Company confirmed the launch details in its official product announcement and October product roundup.
Espeon ex and Umbreon ex headline separate decks
Players can choose a deck led by Espeon ex or one led by Umbreon ex. Both feature a full 60-card foil deck, making them suitable for someone who wants to start a game without building a deck card by card.
Each product also includes a separate special promo: the Espeon ex Battle Deck features Victini, while the Umbreon ex Battle Deck includes Zeraora. Those promo cards may appeal to collectors who enjoy the 30th Celebration expansion.
What’s in each Battle Deck?
Every box comes with 60 foil cards, a deck box, a playmat and a coin. The corresponding promo card is included as well. This is a ready-to-play product, not a pack of randomized booster cards.
Where can players find them?
The Pokémon Company says the decks are available through Pokémon Center and participating retailers beginning October 30. Local stock and prices may vary, so check stores directly before visiting.
For players interested in getting into the Pokémon TCG, a ready-to-play deck can be a simpler starting point than collecting individual cards. The 30th anniversary theme and exclusive promos also make these a collectible release for fans of Espeon, Umbreon and their fellow Pokémon.
