JAPANESE EKANS CARD CHECKLIST

[8 CARDS] 1997 FOSSIL TO 2025

Ekans skipped the 1996 Base Set — its first Japanese card came in Mystery of the Fossils in June 1997, and it showed up again in Rocket Gang that November. Nearly every Japanese Ekans has been a common, so the cards worth chasing are the 1997 originals, Koga’s Ekans and the 151 Master Ball mirror. These 8 are the ones worth finding. The 4 marked ★ are the ones to look for first: the 1997 Mystery of the Fossils original, the 1997 Rocket Gang card, Koga’s Ekans and the 151 Master Ball mirror 023/165.
