For many fans, Pokémon Day is one of the most exciting dates in the entire year. Showing off new games, Pokémon designs, and cards, there’s something new for every fan around this time of the year. That said, 2026’s Pokémon Day is even more exciting. This year marks Pokémon’s 30th anniversary, suggesting that some incredible things could be revealed.

With big things potentially planned, many fans want to make sure they’re ready for whatever the Pokémon Company decides to showcase. Sadly, unless you’re a seasoned veteran, it can be difficult to know exactly how to get started. With so many different cards in the world of Pokémon, it can be tough to know just what type of cards to chase. Fortunately, thanks to our friends over at TCGplayer, a new content series will strive to answer just this.
