The Expansion Pack is released in Japanese, of which all cards are available both with and without rarity symbol. The set without rarity symbol is believed to be the earlier or "1st Edition" print run as it contained errors that were later corrected (such as [[Venusaur (Base Set 15)]] being listed as Pokemon #68 instead of #3). It is commonly referred to as No Rarity Base Set.
