Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection—Series 3

30 years of First Partner Pokémon! Every Trainer's journey begins with a first partner, a loyal friend who stands by your side through thick and thin. This collection lets you relive those adventures and celebrate the bond between Trainer and Pokémon with beloved starters from the Hoenn, Kalos, and Paldea regions, wrapped in gorgeous illustration-style artwork worth displaying.

What's Inside

Each collection includes a special booster pack containing 3 of 9 possible illustration rare-style promo cards featuring first partner Pokémon — the specific cards are randomized, so which starters you pull is always a surprise. You'll also find 2 additional Pokémon TCG booster packs and a fun sticker sheet featuring first partner Pokémon friends.
