Pokemon TCG 30th Celebration - Zekrom & Reshiram Cards
Published on HivePostify by @dkmathstats · Thu Aug 20 2026
Hi there. More Pokemon cards have been [revealed](https://www.pokebeach.com/2026/08/reshiram-zekrom-unown-drifloon-from-30th-celebration-revealed) for the upcoming 30th celebration set.
We have Unown, Drifloon, Reshiram and Zekrom.
Drifloon ---
This Drifloon card does not seem very good from a gameplay sense. One Psychic energy to deal 20 damage and shuffle this card and attached cards into your deck.
The art on this card is nice though.
Unown ---
Unown is a 80 HP Basic Pokemon with Dark weakness, Fighting resistance and a one retreat cost. The Mysterious Signal attack requires 2 Psychic Energy to deal 40 damage. If the opponent's Pokemon is Knocked Out by damage from this attack, you take 1 more Prize card. A Knockout from 40 damage is rare but there is a rare chance of knocking out a 30 HP Budew with this Unown.
Do notice that this Unown art has the Unowns spell out ANNIVERSARY.
Reshiram ---

Reshiram is a 130 HP Basic Fire Pokemon. This has Water weakness and 2 retreat cost. The Slash first attack is not great but the second attack, Laser Flame, is kind of useful.
Laser Flame requires 1 Fire Energy and 2 Colourless Energy to deal 80 base damage. If this Pokemon has any Lightning Energy attached, this attack does 80 more damage.
Reshiram may see play in Prism Box decks. Attach a Prism Energy, use Teal Mask Ogerpon ex for Grass Energy acceleration and drawing cards and use Energy Switches to power up the Reshiram. This Reshiram serves as a decent single prize attacker and as a hard counter against Grass attackers like Teal Mask Ogerpon ex and Crustle. This Reshiram does not one hit KO [Mega Excadrill ex](https://limitlesstcg.com/cards/PBL/65) though. Paldean Tauros does better.

Zekrom ---

Zekrom is a 130 HP Basic Lightning Pokemon. This has a Fighting weakness and a two retreat cost.
Slash for 50 damage is not great. Nitro Thunder as the second attack is similar to Reshiram's second attack. For 1 Lightning Energy and 2 Colourless Energy, Nitro Thunder deals 80 base damage. If this Zekrom has any Fire Energy attached, then Nitro Thunder does 80 more damage (160 damage).
Zekrom is not likely to see major play as there are not many Water Pokemon or Flying Pokemon in the metagame. This Zekrom could be useful later in the year as a possible counter against [Talonflame ex](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talonflameex(StormEmeralda62)) in the Delta Reign set.
Thank you for reading.
