The First Partner Illustration Collections mark Pokémon's 30th anniversary by going back to the starters, the Grass, Fire and Water Pokémon that every player chose between before anything else. Each release in the series gathers illustrated cards of those regional first partners, so the appeal here is less about competitive play and more about having the Pokémon you began with presented properly.

The series and the pin collection

This collection holds Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 of the illustration collections, plus the Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes First Partners Deluxe Pin Collection. Anniversary series like this are usually best treated as a run to build up over time rather than as one-off purchases, since collectors generally want the whole set rather than a single entry. The Deluxe Pin Collection adds pins alongside its cards, which makes it the more display-oriented choice of the four, and the obvious one to buy as a gift.

Everything here is dispatched tracked from the UK, and from 5 September 2026 you can buy over the counter at our shop, 36 High Street, Highworth, Wiltshire.

All products are sourced from trusted, genuine distributors. Booster pack contents are randomised — cards vary by pack, and no specific card, including any pictured or mentioned chase card, is guaranteed.
