The Final Wave: Every Pokemon Starter Promo Has Now Been Revealed

After three waves across the year, the last pieces are finally here. With Series 3 revealed, every starter in the First Partner Illustration Collection has now been shown, which means all 27 first partner Pokémon are accounted for. It is a fitting way to mark 30 years of the journey, where nearly every adventure began by picking just one.

The Final Wave: Hoenn, Kalos, and Paldea

Series 3 closes things out with the starters from three more regions:

• Hoenn: Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip
• Kalos: Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie
• Paldea: Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly

This final set lands on August 7, 2026, at a suggested price of $14.99.

What Comes in Each Collection

Every collection in the series is built the same way:

• One booster pack containing 3 of 9 promo cards
• Two additional booster packs
• One sticker sheet

The promos come in an illustration rare style, which leans into detailed, scene-driven artwork.
