Trivia
- This was the first set to include a "secret card" (a card whose number is larger than the set number) - that card being Dark Raichu.
- This was the first set to feature Dark Pokémon. For its North American release, the "Dark" prefix was chosen versus the originally translated prefix, "Bad", and the potentially touchy prefix, "Evil".
- The release of this set in North America was stalled considerably, as it was six months between when Fossil and Team Rocket were released. This mostly had to do with Wizards trying to get approval from Nintendo to make Dark Raichu; Nintendo was holding out and Wizards couldn't get the set released without Dark Raichu.
- Dark Raichu was an exclusive card to the English set, Japan did not print it until the release of their Neo 2 set.
- The North American release also removed Here Comes Team Rocket from the set.
