Each Treasure of Ruin was given a Pokémon ex card with RR, SR, and SAR prints while Chien-Pao and Ting-Lu also received a UR rarity print. In the second subset, {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}}, the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Mew}} is featured as the Cover Pokémon as the original 151 [[generation I]] pokémon are reintroduced to this game. Mew along with the final evolutionary forms of the [[Starter Pokémon#Kanto|Generation I Starter Pokémon]] {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} are all featured among the 12 Pokémon ex in the subset. This expansion is unique as Pokémon cards are given a set number based on their Pokédex order rather than their energy type. It is also notable as it features the original 151 generation I Pokémon, this is the first TCG set to feature {{TCG|Kadabra}} since {{TCG|Split Earth}} released in Japan in 2002. | ||
