About Base Set

Released on January 9, 1999, Base Set is part of the Base series, and has 101 total cards.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Base Set is the first Pokémon card set, released on October 20, 1996 by Media Factory in Japan and May 1, 1999 in North America. The set includes 102 cards, consisting of 64 basic Energy cards, 8 Pokémon ex cards and 30 Trainer cards. The set features the original 151 Pokémon from the first generation of the Pokémon video game series, including popular Pokémon such as Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charizard.

Nearly all cards from the Base Set have a white Pokemon logo at the bottom left corner, with the exception of the rare holo cards and special promotional cards, which have a black logo. Other symbols of the Base Set include Basics, Baby, Stage 1, Stage 2, Legendary, and Colorless Pokémon. All Holographic cards also have a shiny design, making them highly sought after as collector's items.

Each Base Set booster pack includes 11 cards: 7 common, 3 uncommon, and 1 rare card. The rare cards, found in approximately one out of every 4 booster packs, include favorite 1st Generation Pokemon such as Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur. Many cards are also valuable because of their holo version, which has a shiny holographic image instead of the regular artwork.

As the first card set, the Pokémon Base Set has played an important role in the growth of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The release of the Base Set marked the beginning of a new era of card collecting and game play. To this day, it remains one of the most iconic card sets in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
