Set Overview
Jungle was the second Pokémon TCG set in English, released on 16 June 1999 by Wizards of the Coast. It adapted Japan's Pokémon Jungle and added 64 more Gen I Pokémon, including the three Eeveelutions and Snorlax. It was printed in 1st Edition and Unlimited runs. The early non-holo rares were also printed without a rarity symbol, creating the well-known "no symbol" error cards.

About the Set
Jungle followed Base Set and used the same card layout, but introduced the set symbol — a small flower icon in the bottom-right of the artwork. The 16 holo rares are cards 1–16, and each one also appears as a non-holo rare (cards 17–32). The rest of the set is commons and uncommons, plus a single Trainer card, Poké Ball. Jungle has no basic Energy cards.
The "no symbol" error: the first print run of Jungle's non-holo rares (cards 17–32) left off the rarity symbol in the bottom-right. These error versions were corrected in later printings and are worth more than the standard cards. 1st Edition copies carry the 1st Edition stamp on the left.
Printings: 1st Edition & Unlimited
Unlike Base Set, Jungle skipped the separate "Shadowless" stage — the cards already had the drop shadow from the start. Each Jungle card exists in two main printings, plus a sought-after error version of the rares.
| Printing | How to spot it | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Edition | A black "1st EDITION" stamp on the lower-left of the artwork. The first, smaller print run. | First run — most valuable |
| Unlimited | No stamp. Otherwise identical to the 1st Edition card. | The main, long run — most common |
| "No symbol" error | On the non-holo rares (cards 17–32), the first print run left off the rarity symbol in the bottom-right. Corrected in later runs. | Scarcer than the standard rare |
Quick check: a 1st Edition stamp on the lower-left means the first run; no stamp means Unlimited. On a non-holo rare, a missing rarity symbol in the bottom-right corner is the "no symbol" error.

Key Cards
Jungle's most collected cards are the three Eeveelution holos, Scyther and Snorlax.
| Card | Name | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
 |
Flareon 3/64 Holographic Rare | One of the three Jungle Eeveelution holos. The Eeveelution trio is the set's signature pull and the most collected group of cards. |
 |
Jolteon 4/64 Holographic Rare | The Lightning Eeveelution holo, completing the trio with Flareon and Vaporeon. |
 |
Scyther 10/64 Holographic Rare | A fan-favourite holo and one of the most popular single cards in the set. |
 |
Snorlax 11/64 Holographic Rare | A popular holo with a high HP body, widely collected for the artwork. |
Promo Cards
Wizards of the Coast gave out Black Star Promo cards through the Pokémon League, the movies, magazines and toys. They weren't part of any single set — the series ran to 53 cards across the whole WotC era. These early promos sit alongside Jungle's "more Gen I" theme, including the Eevee (#11) and Venusaur (#13) promos.
Wizards Black Star Promos use their own numbering (#1–#53) and carry a black star where a set symbol would be.
Collecting & Where to Buy
Jungle has been out of print for over two decades, so sealed product and singles only trade on the secondary market. Price depends mostly on printing (1st Edition is worth more than Unlimited), whether it's a "no symbol" error rare, condition and grade. Check all of these before buying.
Collector tip: for a cheaper way in, Unlimited holos and non-holo commons are still affordable, and Base Set 2 (2000) reprinted several Jungle cards. For graded cards, use a well-known grading company and confirm the printing before paying a premium.
