About the Set
The set returns to Kanto: 74 of its 82 cards are Pokémon, and nine of those are Pokémon-ex, including Moltres ex, Articuno ex, Zapdos ex and Gengar ex. Twenty-seven holo rares is the highest count of any set on this page relative to its size.
The English counterpart is EX FireRed & LeafGreen, released August 30, 2004 with 116 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 nine Pokémon-ex are the chase cards, with Gengar ex and the legendary birds leading. Only eight Trainers means a set build is mostly a Pokémon hunt.
Collector tip: Pokémon-ex are worth double prize cards when knocked out, which is why they were printed at holo rare rarity throughout this era — there is no non-holo version of an ex card from this set to confuse it with.
