It was sold only through Pokémon Center Online lotteries. A later lottery, run Sep 30 to Oct 6, 2026, lists shipping for Mar 13–31, 2027, so expect supply to stay thin for months.
Who it's for: Pikachu collectors who want the two promos, and players who want a matching 30th-anniversary play kit. If you only want the cards, buying the two Pikachu ex singles will almost always cost less than the full box.
Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon
Two ready-to-play 60-card decks built around Espeon ex and Umbreon ex. Every card carries the 30th CELEBRATION stamp and is holo. The contents are fixed, so every set includes the same four secret cards numbered above 040.
| Card | Number | TCGplayer market price |
|---|---|---|
| Umbreon ex (full art) | 044/040 | $120.59 |
| Espeon ex (full art) | 043/040 | $68.22 |
| Zeraora (illustration) | 042/040 | $11.60 |
| Victini (illustration) | 041/040 | $9.26 |
| Umbreon ex | 017/040 | $8.18 |

The sealed set sells for $184.391 on TCGplayer, against a ¥6,200 suggested retail price in Japan. Umbreon ex 044/040 and Espeon ex 043/040 make up most of that value.
What's guaranteed
Both products have fixed contents. Neither contains booster packs, so the box hit pattern for sealed Japanese booster boxes doesn't apply here. Every Futuristic Box has both Pikachu ex promos, and every Premium Deck Set has the same 4 secret cards.
Which should you buy?
- Buy the Premium Deck Set if you want Umbreon ex and Espeon ex in full art with no pull risk, or two decks that play out of the box.
- Buy the Futuristic Box if you want the Pikachu ex promos and the YOSHIROTTEN play kit. It's a collector piece first.
