About the Set
Three secret rares close the set — Nidoking, Kingdra and Lugia — the first time a Japanese Pokémon-e set ended on cards numbered past the printed total. Sixteen holo rares sit below them, and the set also carries Crystal Energy.
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 001/090 — 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. 001/090 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 090 are secret rares, printed past the set total.

Collecting & Where to Buy
The three secret rares are the cards that define this set, with Lugia the most sought after of them. Kingdra and Entei lead the holo rares.
Collector tip: Secret rares here are numbered above the set total printed on the card, so a card reading a number higher than 087 is one of the three.
Note: external links are provided for reference only. Always confirm a card’s printing, condition and authenticity before purchasing.
