VOLTORB CARDS GUIDE (JP VER.?How do you tell Voltorb cards apart?Check the number and rarity letter in the bottom corner (e.g. 173/150 S on the GX Ultra Shiny Voltorb). The 1996–1998 cards have no set number — the No.100 on them is the Pokédex number — so go by the set symbol, level and art: LV.10 is the Base Set card, LV.13 is Rocket Gang and LV.12 is Lt. Surge's Voltorb.)
FIRST VOLTORB · OCT 20, 1996?Voltorb was in the very first Japanese set, the Expansion Pack (the original Base Set), released October 20, 1996 — over two years before the English Base Set.

JAPANESE VOLTORB CARD CHECKLIST

[7 CARDS] 1996 BASE SET TO 2023

Voltorb has been in the game since the 1996 Japanese Base Set. It is a common almost every time, so collectors chase the first prints, the Rocket Gang and Lt. Surge's Voltorb cards, the 151 Master Ball mirror and two Shiny Voltorb cards. These 7 are the ones worth finding. The 3 marked ★ are the ones to look for first: the 1996 no-rarity-symbol original, the GX Ultra Shiny Voltorb 173/150 and the 151 Master Ball mirror 100/165.
