About the Set

The set runs 74 Pokémon against 18 Trainers, a higher Trainer share than the Pokémon-e set before it. Sixteen holo rares sit at the top, among them Umbreon, Espeon, Suicune and Blissey.

The English counterpart is Aquapolis, released January 15, 2003 with 186 cards.

How These Cards Are Numbered

Cards in this set print a collector number at the bottom right in the form 001/092 — 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. 001/092 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 092 are secret rares, printed past the set total.

All 92 cards from The Town on No Map, in set order. Click any card to view it full size — use the arrow keys (or swipe) to move through the set.

Collecting & Where to Buy

Umbreon and Espeon are the two holo rares that consistently lead the set, with Suicune close behind. Commons and uncommons are cheap enough that the bulk of a set build is straightforward.

Collector tip: Aquapolis pulls from two Japanese sets, so a card being in Aquapolis does not tell you which Japanese set it came from — check this list and Wind from the Sea before assuming.
