The Pokémon Trading Card Game's 30th anniversary celebration will include a special Mew card with RGB coloring that's being positioned as exceptionally scarce when it releases September 16. The card has generated notable discussion ahead of launch, with reports suggesting it will rank among the hardest cards to obtain in the TCG's current lineup.
The timing of this release marks a deliberate attempt by The Pokémon Company to make the milestone anniversary feel significant for collectors. The rarity level is clearly intentional - limited availability of high-profile cards typically drives collector interest and secondary market activity during major franchise anniversaries.
- A special RGB Mew card will anchor the 30th anniversary set with scarcity built into its distribution model.
- The September 16 release date positions this as the flagship collectible for the anniversary campaign.
- The card's extreme rarity suggests The Pokémon Company is banking on exclusivity to drive demand among serious collectors.
