Ichiban Kuji Pokémon 30th Anniversary vol.2: the announcement that has fans on alert
The new lottery Ichiban Kuji Pokémon 30th Anniversary vol.2 is official, and the name alone sets the tone: this is an “anniversary” celebration designed to hit the nostalgia button and spotlight iconic moments from the Pokémon universe (manga, anime, and movies). For now, the message is clear: wait for more info… but the date, price, and main visual are already here, and that’s enough to start the countdown.
Official visual and first hints about the theme
At this stage, the detailed prize list hasn’t been published yet. So no made-up “A, B, C” prizes here: we’re keeping it clean and sticking to official info. That said, we do have the top banner visual for the kuji, which usually works as a teaser for the overall vibe of the series.
- Theme: 30th Anniversary celebration (vol.2), so expect a selection that usually aims for cross-generation references (from the early days to today), rather than sticking to a single arc.
- Status: the official page clearly says “more info coming soon.” The prizes, product visuals, and lineup breakdown haven’t been detailed yet.
- Fan tip: with “anniversary” kuji, the most sought-after pieces are often the ones that capture a legendary moment (a pose, a duo, or a nod to a specific scene), so keep an eye on the next visuals.
- Keep an eye on : the “vol.2” mention implies continuity with the first “30th Anniversary” wave—typically, Bandai spreads character/moment picks across multiple volumes instead of dropping everything at once.

The main visual for Ichiban Kuji Pokémon 30th Anniversary vol.2 is the only “piece” officially shown so far. For this kind of kuji, that banner mainly serves to announce the collection’s identity: an anniversary celebration meant to speak to those who grew up with Pokémon—and those still following it today.
As soon as the prizes (figures, plushies, items, last prizes, etc.) are revealed, that’s when we’ll be able to tie them to specific moments in Pokémon history (memorable encounters, movie scenes, or key adventure beats). For now, this is a straight-up announcement.
Key practical info: Ichiban Kuji Pokémon 30th Anniversary vol.2 is announced for in-store sales starting July 18, 2026 (rolling launch depending on the store).
Official price: 750 yen per draw (tax included). As always with Ichiban Kuji, it’s while supplies last.
Next step: the reveal of the prizes and their HD visuals. Once that drops, we’ll finally be able to match each reward to its canon moment (arc, episode, or movie) and spot the truly rare/original pieces.
