Aquapolis
E-Card series
Aquapolis, released in January 2003, is the twelfth Pokémon TCG expansion and the second set of the E-Card series. With 147 cards, this water-themed expansion is widely regarded as one of the most beautifully designed sets in the entire TCG, featuring some of the most sought-after holofoil cards from the e-Reader era. The set is renowned for its Crystal-type Pokémon — alternate holographic versions of select cards with a unique transparent crystal-style holofoil pattern. Crystal Lugia (51/147) and Crystal Ho-Oh (52/147) are the undisputed chase cards, commanding premium prices in any condition. Other notable holos include Tyranitar (49/147), Umbreon (38/147), Espeon (14/147), and Scizor (44/147). Aquapolis also introduced the Suicune, Raikou, and Entei legendary beasts in stunning holographic form, as well as fan favorites like Houndoom and Ariados. The set's Trainer cards, including the powerful Time Shuffle and Energy Recycle System, remain popular in retro-format gameplay. The distinctive e-Reader dot-code borders and the gorgeous Crystal holo pattern make Aquapolis one of the most visually striking sets ever produced. Complete sets in high grade are increasingly rare and highly prized by collectors.
