07Why Collectors Want It

  • Released in EX FireRed & LeafGreen, the Kanto-themed nostalgia set that brought the gym leaders back into the EX era.
  • The reverse-holo parallel is the version most collectors actually chase; the base print is a master-set requirement.
  • Set's headline grails are the character-themed FRLG cards, not the base Pokémon — but every clean Bulbasaur slot belongs in a Kanto-leaning collection.
  • A foundational entry for any EX-era Bulbasaur run or full Kanto-nostalgia chronology.
