Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the Sword & Shield era.
Celebrations is headlined by Mew in its Secret Rare form, followed by the Surfing Pikachu VMAX and Flying Pikachu VMAX cards. It is a Sword & Shield era expansion, released on October 8, 2021 under the set code CEL, and it is compact at 25 printed cards with 25 catalog printings. Mew and Professor's Research (Professor Oak) each appear twice, so the card list leans on repeat names rather than breadth. The Pokémon it draws on span Psychic, Lightning, Fighting and Fire types, with Pikachu cards carrying much of the attention.

The Celebrations pull ladder runs from 12 Rares and 5 Holo Rares up to eight chase-tier cards: four Holo Rare V, two Holo Rare VMAX, one Ultra Rare and a single Secret Rare. The Secret Rare Mew, illustrated by Saki Hayashiro, is the most valuable card, ahead of Surfing Pikachu VMAX and Flying Pikachu VMAX, both by aky CG Works, then the Mitsuhiro Arita Pikachu. Value is heavily concentrated, with the top five cards holding 85 percent of the set's total card value, so the most valuable cards define almost everything here.
As of October 2026, Celebrations ranks 16th by total card value among the 17 comparable Sword & Shield sets and 128th across the whole game, at about 0.2 times the era median. Its top card ranks 12th in the era, though its trading activity ranks 5th. 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, with Fusion Strike releasing on November 12, 2021.

Because the top five cards carry 85 percent of total card value, the cost of a complete set rests almost entirely on a handful of cards, and the remaining Rares and Holo Rares add little by comparison.
