# Pikachu (皮卡丘) (Chinese) #018 — 30th Celebration (30周年庆典)

## Summary

Pikachu got its anniversary moment in mainland China when the Simplified Chinese 30th Celebration set came out in September 2026, and this holofoil copy is built for the occasion. Yellow lightning bursts around a wide-eyed Pikachu in the artwork, while a large 30 sits across the lower half in red. As the franchise mascot since Kanto, Pikachu is a natural pick for completists of the Chinese edition.
