Above you will find all the e-Card sets released in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The run consists of three main sets — Expedition, Aquapolis and Skyridge — and introduced the Crystal Pokémon as a rare variant.

What makes this run unique sits along the edge of the card: a barcode strip you could scan with the Nintendo e-Reader for extra content. That device is long gone, but the code is still there, which makes any e-Card instantly datable. It also has a practical consequence for condition: that strip runs the full length of the card edge, exactly where wear shows up first.
