Jungle is the second expansion of the original Japanese Pokémon Card Game, published by Media Factory and released March 5, 1997 — a full two years before Wizards localized it for the West. It runs just 48 cards, where the later English set was padded to 64 with non-holo doubles of the rares. The dead giveaway that a card is the Japanese print is the numbering: these follow the national Pokédex (Scyther is No. 123, Snorlax No. 143), not the English JU/64 scheme. It's the set that gave the hobby its first Eeveelutions in card form — Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon — alongside marquee holos like Snorlax, Scyther and Mr. Mime. Smaller print, earlier date, and Japanese-only flavor text make the Media Factory copies the connoisseur's choice.
- 1Card numbers use the Japanese national Pokédex (e.g. No. 123 Scyther, No. 143 Snorlax), not the English JU/64 numbering.
- 2Japanese set is 48 cards; the English release was expanded to 64 by adding non-holo versions of the holo rares.
- 3Every card carries a rarity symbol — there is no 'No Rarity' first-print variant as there is for the Japanese Base Set.
Centering and Media Factory roller lines are the usual culprits; dark borders make corner chipping and edge whitening on holos obvious. No 'No Rarity' versus 'Rarity' chase exists for Jungle — all Japanese copies carry a rarity symbol in the lower-right corner.
