Expedition Collection Pokemon Cards

Here is an article about Expedition Pokemon Cards Collection Set Pokemon Cards. I hope you find the information useful!

Expedition Collection, Released September 2002, is the fourteenth set of cards from the Pokemon Trading Card Game. It comes after Legendary Collection and before Aquapolis. Its symbol is a Poke Ball drawn to look like a lower-case "e." It is the first to use the e-Reader: By scanning a dot code found on the bottom of all of the cards and the sides of some, the e-Reader can display patterns, produce sounds, or other various novelties. (This may be the reason why cards in the Expedition set are noticeably thicker than previous sets.) However, none of these features are required for play. At 165 cards (330 if its parallel set is included), Expedition is the largest set ever in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Because of its completely new format, this was thought to be a good time to balance the card game with less powerful versions of previously printed cards. For example, Energy Removal 2 (pictured above) serves an identical purpose to Energy Removal from the Base Set, except a coin must be flipped to determine if the effects are successful. However, this set also introduces the Supporter card, a type of Trainer card that now dominates competitive play.

While Technical Machines were dabbled upon in Expedition, Aquapolis is the set to make use of them. Technical Machines would be released sparingly from this point onward.
