About the Set
The set carries three Gold Star cards — Latias ★, Latios ★ and Rayquaza ★ — alongside seven Pokémon-ex and 25 holo rares. Two different Deoxys ex cards sit consecutively at 45 and 46.
The English counterpart is EX Deoxys, released February 14, 2005 with 108 cards.
How These Cards Are Numbered
Cards in this set print a collector number at the bottom right in the form 001/082 — the card’s position followed by the set total. This is the same scheme English sets use, and it is what separates these sets from the pre-2001 Japanese sets, whose bottom-right number is the Pokédex number of the Pokémon rather than a collector number.
What the gallery shows: each tile is numbered by its collector number, exactly as the card prints it. Open a card and the lightbox gives the full No. 001/082 form.
Rarity is a small symbol printed next to the number: a circle for common, a diamond for uncommon and a star for rare. Cards numbered above 082 are secret rares, printed past the set total.

Collecting & Where to Buy
The three Gold Star cards are by a wide margin the most valuable in the set, with Rayquaza ★ the one collectors chase. The Pokémon-ex are the next tier.
Collector tip: Gold Star cards use a gold star beside the Pokémon’s name and shiny colouring on the artwork. The star is the reliable marker — the colouring alone can be mistaken for a normal holo at a glance.
