According to the press release, the set will include over 160 cards featuring Kanto’s original 151 species, 12 new Pokemon ex cards, and 10 Trainer cards. The set will be done in the original Pokedex order, giving a particularly special feel to the celebratory card list.

Pokemon TCG fans will be able to find the 151 TCG Booster Packs in Elite Trainer Boxes that are currently available to preorder on The Pokemon Center website, as well as through several special collector boxes and mini tins. These will release on September 22 and October 6, 2023.
