Pokémon Web (Japanese: ポケモンカード★webPokémon Card★web) is the only main expansion of cards from the web Era of the Pokémon Card Game in Japan. It does not have a main expansion as an English equivalent.
Information
Pokémon Card★web is the only expansion in the Pokémon Card Game web Era. It was released on October 20, 2001.
The expansion split the Pokémon Power mechanic into two groups; Poké-Power and Poké-Body. Poké-Powers require activation to use, whereas Poké-Bodies are always active unless blocked by specific interactions. This was also the first expansion to feature Supporter cards, following up on the BillP Promotional card released the previous month.
Pokémon Card★web is composed of reprints of the Expansion Pack, Pokémon Jungle, Mystery of the Fossils, and Rocket Gang expansions, as well as several promotional cards. The reprints are updated to reflect the new mechanics. For example, Dragonite's Special Delivery is now classified as a Poké-Power, and Rocket's Sneak Attack is now a Supporter card. The cards utilize the card design introduced in Pokémon Card★VS. The set symbol is located on the bottom left of the card, and the back of the card also utilizes the current "Pokémon" design.
Pokémon Card★web booster packs could be purchased online exclusively on the Pokémon Center Online. Each pack contained ten cards, nine Non Holofoil and one Holofoil. The cards were packaged in clear plastic with a barcoded cover card featuring the set logo as opposed to traditional foil boosters.
The Pokémon Web set was released exclusively in Japanese, available in both 1st Edition and Unlimited Edition.
