Pokemon 30th Anniversary 1996 – 2026 Advent Calendar

Celebrating three decades since the franchise’s February 1996 debut in Japan, the Pokemon 30th Anniversary 1996 – 2026 Advent Calendar unites video game nostalgia and Pokemon Trading Card Game heritage inside a crimson red and burnished gold rigid paperboard collector box. Framed by a gold-filigree side spine stamped with snowflakes and a 30TH ANNIVERSARY Poke Ball emblem, the front cover displays a giant bow-topped Poke Ball bauble bearing classic yellow-and-blue Pokemon lettering, metallic gold 30TH ANNIVERSARY, and a crimson scroll reading CHRISTMAS COLLECTION EDITION. Below, Pikachu wears a red-and-white Santa hat inscribed RICHARD (or BICHARO) alongside Charmander, Squirtle in a red scarf, Bulbasaur, Eevee, Charizard, Lucario, Mewtwo, flying pink Mew, and Articuno above blue Pokemon booster packs, a red Poke Ball, a purple M Master Ball, a Great Ball, an Ultra Ball, miniature Charizard, Pikachu, and Mewtwo TCG cards, and the lower banner marked 24 HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS and 1996 – 2026.

Open-Shell Poke Ball Terrariums with Miniature TCG Cards

• Pikachu Classic Red Poke Ball Globe: Beneath a red upper dome stamped with Pokemon 30TH ANNIVERSARY, a 3D Pikachu figurine stands amid yellow electric sparks and green moss right beside an angled miniature Pikachu TCG card replica.
• Charizard Flame Ball Diorama: A black-and-orange upper shell opens to reveal winged Charizard roaring inside sculpted orange-red flames next to a miniature fire-type Charizard card plaque.
• Mewtwo Purple Master Ball Keepsake: Crowned by a purple upper dome bearing the white M crest, 3D Mewtwo hovers in purple psychic energy beside a miniature psychic-type Mewtwo card.
• Squirtle, Sylveon, and Leafeon Elemental Balls: A cyan-and-navy water shell pairs Squirtle on sculpted blue waves with a Squirtle card; a rose-pink shell with a pink heart center button frames Sylveon in cherry blossoms with a Sylveon card; and an emerald leaf shell surrounds Leafeon in green vines beside a Leafeon card.

Every open-shell Poke Ball ornament in the 24-day lineup is molded with a flat lower hemisphere foot so it rests upright on a mantel, desk, or collector shelf, while a top brass-gold loop and braided gold hanging cord let it hang directly from Christmas tree branches.

Inside the 24-Compartment Collector Tray

Within the rigid paperboard exterior, a 24-compartment transparent molded plastic inner organizer tray cradles each Poke Ball terrarium in its own contoured slot. Across the remaining compartments of the 24-piece grid, collectors uncover matching open-shell Poke Ball card dioramas for Mew, Togepi, Kyogre, Umbreon, Eevee, Venusaur, Lucario, Glaceon, Jolteon, Blastoise, Rayquaza, Dragonite, and Flareon.

Families who enjoy building nostalgic character countdowns across multiple rooms can also pair this 1996-2026 milestone box with the Winnie the Pooh tree calendar for a warm December unboxing tradition.
