The original trilogy of Pokémon TCG sets—Base, Jungle, and Fossil—captures the very roots of the game and the culture that grew around it. The Base Set introduced the world to iconic cards like Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur, laying the foundation for competitive play and collecting.
Jungle expanded the universe with beloved evolutions and fan-favourites such as Eevee and its evolutions, while Fossil brought ancient power and legendary birds into the spotlight. Together, these three sets form a complete snapshot of Pokémon’s earliest era: a blend of nostalgia, history, and enduring collectibility. Completing all three master sets is more than filling binders—it’s preserving the legacy of the game’s beginning, a testament to the passion of collectors and the timeless appeal of Pokémon.
