Celebrations is a compact Sword & Shield expansion with set code CEL, released on October 8, 2021, with 25 cards in the card list. It is led by Mew, whose Secret Rare tops the set, alongside the Surfing Pikachu VMAX and Flying Pikachu VMAX pair that follow it. Both Mew and Professor's Research (Professor Oak) appear in two printings each, so the set repeats its own headline names across rarities. Its cards lean on Psychic, Lightning, Fighting and Fire Pokémon, and the small size keeps the whole list easy to read at a glance.

The most valuable cards in Celebrations sit in a short chase tier of 8 cards, running from Holo Rare V and Holo Rare VMAX up to one Ultra Rare and one Secret Rare. The Mew Secret Rare illustrated by Saki Hayashiro ranks first, followed by the Surfing Pikachu VMAX and Flying Pikachu VMAX, both from aky CG Works, and then the Holo Rare Pikachu by Mitsuhiro Arita. Value is heavily concentrated: the top five cards alone hold 86 percent of the set's total card value, so nearly everything else is a minor card by comparison.
As of October 2026, Celebrations holds the 16th highest total card value among the 17 comparable Sword & Shield sets, about 0.2 times the era median, and 128th across the whole game. Its most valuable single card ranks 12th in the era, while its trading activity ranks 5th, well above its value standing. At 25 printed cards it is far smaller than the era median of 189. It followed Evolving Skies, which holds more total value, and came before Fusion Strike, which also holds more.
