Set #	Front	Title	Back text
1		#169 Crobat	Write here
2		#172 Pichu	The first evolutionary stage of Pikachu and Raichu, Pichu is an undeniably cute electric Pokémon, and charms any trainer with its gentle nature. Not yet as skilled as Pikachu in its powers, Pichu will accidentally send out a jolt if it's startled or laughing hard.
3		#173 Cleffa	Who knew? Cleffa is the very first evolution of Clefairy and Clefable. This normal Pokémon is a newcomer to the known Pokémon of the world. Because of its star-like shape, many people believe Cleffa came here on a meteor.
4		#174 Igglybuff	The very first evolution of Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff, Igglybuff is a normal-type Pokémon who's just learning to SING. Its soft body is extremely flexible and elastic. If it starts to roll, it will bounce all over the place.
5		#186 Politoed	The next evolutionary step of the Poliwhirl, this water Pokémon can be found in lakes and rivers. Its spiral no longer as pronounced on its chest, the Politoed can still hypnotize others. They also have a strong sense of community, and will come running if they hear one of themselves crying for help.
6		#196 Espeon	One of the next possible evolutions of Eevee, this graceful psychic Pokémon can predict the moves of its enemies as well as the weather and how objects will move. Espeon's fine body hair helps it sense air currents, letting it react quickly to its enemies!
7		#197 Umbreon	An alternate evolution of Eevee, the Umbreon is dark as night when compared to Espeon's light coloring. A dark Pokémon, Umbreon are very rarely seen and almost never captured. At nighttime, Umbreon can be spotted thanks to their glowing silver rings — a chilling sight!
8		#199 Slowking	Write here
9		#200 Misdreavus	A ghost-type Pokémon, our heroes learned the hard way just how mischievous Misdreavus can be. It loves to screech and wail in the night and yank people's hair from behind. Like its fellow ghost Pokémon, Misdreavus is a free spirit and is rarely seen or captured.
10		#201 Unown	Write here
11		#205 Forretress	The next evolution of the bug Pokémon Pineco, Forretress is covered in a steel-hard shell, leaving the appearance of what lives inside a complete mystery. Be sure to duck if Forretress thinks you're an enemy. It scatters pieces of its hard shell to drive its enemies away!
12		#206 Dunsparce	A normal-type Pokémon, the Dunsparce moves across the ground like a snake, but burrows into the ground using its tail when spotted by trainers or other Pokémon looking to do battle. Despite its preference for crawling on the ground, the Dunsparce's small wings allow it to float above the ground slightly.
13		#211 Qwilfish	A mean-looking water-type Pokémon, the Qwilfish is very dangerous. See those spikes? They're poisonous and cause whomever they hit to faint. If you find one of these on the end of your hook, let it go!
14		#212 Scizor	This giant bug-type Pokémon can fool its enemies by bringing its pincers up to make it look like it has three heads — something that will frighten the hardiest Pokémon! Don't be fooled by its wings — as Ash learned, Scizor can't fly, but flap their wings to cool themselves off.
15		#215 Sneasel	A dark-type Pokémon, Sneasel are most often seen in the woods at night — and then just barely, thanks to their dark coat. While they can be fierce fighters with their claws, Sneasel prefer to sneak about, often stealing eggs from the nests of Pidgey.
16		#218 Slugma	At home in volcanoes and anywhere that's hot, this fire-type Pokémon has to keep moving, otherwise its magma body will cool and harden into rock. Slugma are in constant motion, looking for warm places around large volcanoes or steam vents.
17		#219 Magcargo	The evolved form of Slugma, the Magcargo is a fire-type Pokémon. While its shell is magma that has cooled and hardened, be careful. It breaks easily with the slightest touch! Like Slugma, the Magcargo is always on the move, looking for a nice hot volcano where it can relax.
18		#222 Corsola	A water-type Pokémon, the Corsola looks like a living coral reef. It sheds and grows all the time, and the tip of its head is considered especially valuable for its beauty. But that's not all. In the south sea, people actually live in communities that are built on groups of Corsola!
19		#223 Remoraid	A highly valued water Pokémon, the Remoraid is most often found clinging to the underside of a Mantine as it swims, allowing the Remoraid to pick up any leftovers from the Mantine's meals. Misty and other water Pokémon trainers miss Remoraid because they forget to look under Mantine.
