About the Set
The set carries the Johto starters and their evolutions, the Baby Pokémon Pichu, Cleffa, Magby and Elekid, and the Darkness and Metal card types along with the Darkness Energy and Metal Energy that make them playable. Lugia is among its 16 holo rares.
The English counterpart is Neo Genesis, released December 16, 2000 with 111 cards.
How These Cards Are Numbered
Cards from this era carry no collector number. The number printed at the bottom right of the card is the Pokédex number of the Pokémon — the 25th card of Expansion Pack is Staryu, and it reads No. 120. Trainer and Energy cards have no number at all.
What the gallery shows: each tile is numbered by its position in the set (#1 to #96), which is the order the set is catalogued in, not a number printed on the card. Open a card and the lightbox gives both the position and the Pokédex number the card actually prints.
Rarity is shown on the card face instead, as a small symbol next to the Pokédex number: a circle for common, a diamond for uncommon and a star for rare.

Collecting & Where to Buy
Lugia is the card that carries this set. Typhlosion, Feraligatr and Meganium hold value as first printings of the Johto starters’ final forms.
Collector tip: Darkness and Metal arrive here as card types, together with the special Energy cards that power them — the Pokémon themselves are ordinary Johto species.
