Expansion Pack
Expansion Pack is the first main Pokémon TCG set in Japan, opening the Base Set era and based entirely on Pokémon from Kanto. The set has 102 cards, with format icons such as Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur and Pikachu. The core of play here is classic Stage 1 and Stage 2 evolutions, Trainer cards and basic Energy, and the most recognisable hits are the early holo rares in a raw style that is now iconic.
