The Pokémon Card Game 25th Anniversary Creatures Deck was a commemorative half deck Creatures, Inc. gave to illustrators and staff members to celebrate the Pokémon 25th Anniversary and the company's 26th.

Information

This deck consists of 30 cards that double as a company history of Creatures: 27 of the cards are from each year of 1995-2021, with 1995 using a replication of Kouichi Ooyama's playtest version of Base Set Chansey, and the card backs highlight a Pokémon and/or a Creatures product/event from that year. The other three cards, Poké Ball, Switch, and the unique History Gate, all have the card number 011/008 to reference Creatures's founding date of November 8, 1995. These cards have excerpts from an interview with Tsunekazu Ishihara and Hirokazu Tanaka on the backs. All cards in the deck are Starlight Holofoil, printed on glossy card stock, have a gold "25th" stamp, and a 1st Edition stamp if the card's original print could have had it.

The deck was delivered in a wooden case that included a 32-pack of Holofoil card sleeves bearing the original Japanese card back design, a how-to-play guide card, a carrying pouch made with authentic indigo dye, instructions to care for the pouch, a history of indigo dyeing in Japan, and a letter from Ishihara detailing the gift.
