First Partner Illustration Collection—Series 1

First Partner Illustration Collection—Series 1 is a special Other-era release celebrating iconic partner Pokémon with oversized artwork cards and collector-focused presentation. Rather than a standard expansion, it’s built around the appeal of beloved starters and fan-favourite first partners, making it an easy set for both long-time collectors and newer fans to enjoy.

Collectors value Series 1 for its display appeal, distinctive jumbo illustrations, and its place as a commemorative product tied to Pokémon’s wider history. As a March 2026 release, it stands out as a neat side set to watch for sealed prices, especially for collectors who enjoy character-driven products over purely competitive cards.
