Expedition Base Set introduced {{TCG|Technical Machine card}}s, which allow the Pokémon they are attached to use an attack as specified on the card (a reference to the [[TM]] in the core series games). {{TCG|Pokémon Power}} was split into two groups; Poké-Power and Poké-Body. Poké-Powers required activation to use, whereas Poké-Bodies were always active unless blocked by a specific effect. | Expedition Base Set introduced {{TCG|Technical Machine card}}s, which allow the Pokémon they are attached to use an attack as specified on the card (a reference to the [[TM]] in the core series games). {{TCG|Pokémon Power}} was split into two groups; Poké-Power and Poké-Body.

Expedition Base Set also introduced an updated card design, which included numerous changes. Firstly, the left and bottom borders have been increased in size to incorporate the Dot Code technology for use with the Nintendo [[e-Reader]]. By using the device, players were able to view the Pokédex data, play a minigame, play various tunes in a [[Construction: Melody Box|Melody Box]], or activate a [[List of TCG cards with hidden attacks|hidden attack]] for that Pokémon. However, these hidden attacks were not legal for use in tournament play. The artwork window is rounded on the left. For Rare Holo cards, the Pokémon's species, length and weight were moved to the left. For Non Holo cards, it lacked the Pokémon's species, length, weight. Both Rare Holo and Non Holo cards included a unique ID number located below the artwork window and lacked the Pokédex entry. The illustrator was moved to the center on the bottom of the card. The set symbol was located on the bottom right of the card. | Expedition Base Set also introduced an updated card design, which included numerous changes.

The design for Reverse Holofoil cards was changed to a plain "refractor" Holofoil. Each booster pack were reduced from 11 cards to 9 cards; they include 5 Common, 2 Uncommon, 1 Reverse Holofoil, and 1 Rare or Rare Holo card. All Rare Holo cards have a Non Holofoil version. Expedition was the first expansion that did not have a {{TCG|1st Edition}} print run. | The design for Reverse Holofoil cards was changed to a plain "refractor" Holofoil.
