Jungle set overview
Jungle is the second English expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released by Wizards of the Coast on 16 June 1999, five months after Base Set and four months before Fossil. It translates the Japanese Pokémon Jungle expansion of March 1997 and, like it, uses only Generation I Pokémon; Bulbapedia notes the set is said to take place in the Kanto Safari Zone.
The set has 64 cards but only 48 different ones. The Japanese set printed its 16 rares as holofoil cards only; Wizards added a non-holo print of each, numbered 17/64 to 32/64 after the holos at 1/64 to 16/64. According to Bulbapedia this made the expansion bigger and stopped packs from guaranteeing a holo. Jungle has a single Trainer card, Poké Ball (64/64), and no Energy cards.
It is the first English expansion with Eevee (51/64) and its three evolutions, Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon; none of them is in Base Set. The other holos include Snorlax, Scyther, Pinsir, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, Clefable, Wigglytuff and the Grass-type evolutions Vileplume, Victreebel, Venomoth and Nidoqueen. Every card exists in a 1st Edition and an Unlimited printing, and many were reprinted in Base Set 2 in February 2000 and Legendary Collection in May 2002.

What changed from Pokémon Jungle
- Same cards: all 48 cards of the Japanese Pokémon Jungle are in the English set.
- Added: a non-holo print of each of the 16 rares, from Clefable (17/64) to Wigglytuff (32/64). In Japan these 16 cards were holofoil only.
- Numbering: the Japanese cards carry no collector number. The English set numbers them 1/64 to 64/64: holo rares, then non-holo rares, uncommons and commons, each group in alphabetical order with Poké Ball last.
Jungle chase cards
The six cards below are the most expensive singles in the set by market price on 4 October 2026. The most expensive of all on that date was Snorlax (11) (011/064, Holo Rare). The headline card on this page is the holo Snorlax (11/64) by Ken Sugimori. Kagemaru Himeno drew the three Eevee evolution holos, Flareon (3/64), Jolteon (4/64) and Vaporeon (12/64). Scyther (10/64) and Flareon also appear on the booster pack wrappers. The headline price for each card is TCGplayer's main market price, which for Jungle is mostly the 1st Edition copy; the line under each card name in the list gives the 1st Edition and Unlimited prices separately.

Every card in the set is below in set-number order, with its rarity, illustrator and market price. Cards 1/64 to 16/64 are the holo rares and 17/64 to 32/64 the same 16 Pokémon as non-holo rares, so each rare appears twice, with its number in brackets after the name. Both carry the star rarity symbol; the holo has a holofoil art box. Uncommons run from Butterfree (33/64) to Weepinbell (48/64) and commons from Bellsprout (49/64) to Poké Ball (64/64). The headline price on each card is mostly its 1st Edition price; the line under the name shows the 1st Edition and Unlimited prices side by side, and the Prices by printing table below the list totals the 1st Edition and Unlimited prints.

TCGplayer market prices in US dollars by printing, from tcgcsv.com, collected on 4 October 2026. The headline price on each card is TCGplayer’s main listing for that card; the line under the card name splits it by printing. Holo and non-holo prints have their own rows. Rare vintage holos sell infrequently, so their market prices can lag behind recent sales.

Jungle illustrators
Only 4 illustrators drew the whole set. Kagemaru Himeno has the most credits with 23, including the Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Pidgeot and Pinsir holos. Mitsuhiro Arita drew 19, among them the Clefable, Electrode, Kangaskhan and Wigglytuff holos, and Ken Sugimori 17, including Snorlax, Scyther, Mr. Mime, Nidoqueen, Venomoth, Victreebel and the common Pikachu. Keiji Kinebuchi drew the Oddish, Gloom and Vileplume line and Poké Ball. Because the non-holo rares reuse the holo artwork, each rare illustration counts twice. Each tile leads with the artist's highest-value card in the set; the name links to their entry in the illustrator database.

Pokémon Jungle (ポケモンジャングル) was the second expansion of the Japanese Pokémon Card Game, released on 5 March 1997, more than two years before the English set. It has 48 cards with no collector numbers, and its 16 rares are holofoil only. Bulbapedia credits Mitsuhiro Arita with the Japanese pack artwork and points out that the Japanese booster box shows an Exeggutor with a long neck, years before Alolan Exeggutor. The English set keeps all 48 cards and adds the non-holo rares. See the Pokémon Jungle (Japanese) card list.
Jungle products and sealed prices
Jungle went on sale on 16 June 1999 in booster packs, in 1st Edition and then Unlimited print runs, alongside two 60-card theme decks. Power Reserve is a Psychic and Grass deck and Water Blast a Water and Fighting deck; each came with damage counters, a coin, a rulebook and a card list. Both decks carry the same name in the price data, and the theme deck price here is the Water Blast deck. Each pack held 11 cards, and the wrappers show one of three Pokémon: Wigglytuff, Scyther or Flareon. Bulbapedia notes that Australian Unlimited packaging printed the word Pokémon in red rather than yellow, to help prevent counterfeiting. Sealed prices are market prices from the same snapshot as the singles; a product without a current market price shows as No listing.

Collector's notes
1st Edition, Unlimited and the no-symbol holos
The first print run carries a black “Edition 1” stamp at the left edge, just under the art box; Unlimited cards have no stamp. Bulbapedia records that the Unlimited holo rares were also printed by mistake without the set symbol, the flower that normally sits just below the art box on the right; its Snorlax page says this happened early in the Unlimited run and was corrected later. Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection reprints carry their own symbol and number, so a Jungle holo with a blank space there is the error print, not a reprint.
Holo or non-holo
The 16 rares exist twice with the same artwork and the same star rarity symbol. The holo prints, 1/64 to 16/64, have a holofoil art box; the non-holo prints, 17/64 to 32/64, have a painted background. Check the number in the bottom right corner when buying from photos, because a listing titled “Snorlax Jungle” could be either card.
The Pikachu in 1st Edition packs
A small number of 1st Edition copies of the Wizards Black Star Promo Pikachu, known as Ivy Pikachu, were included in 1st Edition Jungle packs. The card is not part of the 64-card list. For years this was assumed to be an error, but Bulbapedia notes that a prototype Jungle pack and a pack in early preview images, both printed with “Capture the rare Pikachu card!”, suggest it was intentional. In March 2001 the same 1st Edition promo was given to winners of a Pokémon League Create-a-Card activity.
Stamped and corrected versions
Some cards have versions outside the booster print: Clefable (1/64) with a green Prerelease stamp from Jungle Prerelease events at Pokémon Leagues in July 1999, Pikachu (60/64) with a W stamp from the September 1999 issue of The Duelist, and a gold-bordered Meowth (56/64) from Pokémon Rolls. Early 1st Edition Butterfree (33/64) show a stamp that reads like “Edition d” because of an ink bubble, and early Venonat (63/64) have a dark line at the top left where the background meets the border; both were corrected. None of these versions has its own price on this page.

Jungle FAQ
When did Jungle come out?
The English Jungle set released on 16 June 1999. The Japanese original, Pokémon Jungle, came out on 5 March 1997, and the Dutch, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese versions followed in 2000.
How many cards are in Jungle?
64, but only 48 different cards. The 16 rares were printed twice, as holo rares (1/64 to 16/64) and non-holo rares (17/64 to 32/64), followed by 16 uncommons and 16 commons. 63 are Pokémon and one, Poké Ball, is a Trainer.
What is the most valuable Jungle card?
By market price on 4 October 2026, Snorlax (11) (011/064, Holo Rare) at $408.99 (£309.36). That headline figure is TCGplayer's main market price for the card, which for Jungle is mostly the 1st Edition copy. The line under each card name in the list gives the 1st Edition and Unlimited prices separately, and the Prices by printing table compares the 1st Edition and Unlimited prints.
Are Jungle prices for 1st Edition or Unlimited cards?
Both are shown. The headline price on each card is mostly the 1st Edition price, and the small line under the card name gives the 1st Edition and Unlimited market prices side by side. The Prices by printing table totals the 1st Edition and Unlimited prints, holo and non-holo, and names the top card in each. Unlimited copies usually sell for less, so check for the stamp before comparing a copy to the headline price.
How do I tell if a Jungle card is 1st Edition?
Look just below the bottom left corner of the art box. 1st Edition cards have a small black “Edition 1” stamp there; Unlimited cards have nothing. Early 1st Edition Butterfree (33/64) have a misprinted stamp that reads like “Edition d”.
What is the difference between Jungle holo and non-holo cards?
The same 16 Pokémon appear twice with the same artwork. The holo versions, numbered 1/64 to 16/64, have a holofoil art box; the non-holo versions, 17/64 to 32/64, have a painted background. Both use the star rarity symbol, so the number is the quickest way to tell them apart.
What is the Jungle no-symbol error?
Bulbapedia records that each of the 16 holo rares was also printed in the Unlimited run without the set symbol, the small flower that normally sits just below the art box on the right. Its Snorlax page says the error was in early Unlimited prints and was corrected later in the run, so both versions exist.
What came in a Jungle booster pack?
11 cards from the set. According to Bulbapedia, adding non-holo prints of the rares meant a pack no longer guaranteed a holo. Packs came in 1st Edition and Unlimited print runs, with Wigglytuff, Scyther or Flareon on the wrapper.
