ABOUT THE SET

Known in Japan as Awakening Legends (めざめる伝説, Mezameru Densetsu), this is the third Neo-era expansion and a milestone: the first Japanese Pokemon set issued by The Pokemon Company after taking over from Media Factory. Released November 23, 2000, it debuted the Shining Pokemon mechanic — Shining Magikarp and Shining Gyarados were the first of their kind, alt-colored holos that became instant icons. The set also rounds out the Johto legendaries with holos including Ho-Oh and the elusive Celebi. Japanese cards print the National Pokedex number on the face, so collectors track these by No. 130, No. 251, and so on rather than an x/64 fraction. A clean, well-printed run that sits a tier below the English Neo Revelation in price but is prized by purists chasing the original Shining debut.

CollectibleThe home of the first-ever Shining Pokemon. Commons are easy; Shining Magikarp/Gyarados and the legendary holos carry the set.

  • 3
    Rarity is shown by a symbol bottom-right (circle/diamond/star), not by an English-style holo-rarity layout.
  • 4
    First Japanese Neo-era set published by The Pokemon Company after the handover from Media Factory.
GRADING NOTES

Japanese Neo-era stock tends to hold centering and surface better than the English run, so high grades are comparatively more attainable. The holo Shining cards (Magikarp/Gyarados) are the chase for graded registries and can show print lines — check the foil edges and front-to-back centering on the holos.
