About this card list

Challenge from the Darkness (闇からの挑戦) is a Japanese Original series set that first came out on 25 June 1999. Its card list has 98 cards: 75 Pokémon, 23 Trainers and 0 Energy cards, drawn by 7 illustrators.

Japanese rarities are shown with the letters printed on the cards (SAR, AR, SR and so on). They are not the same as the English rarities: a Japanese Ultra Rare (UR) is the gold card.

The list starts with the rarest cards and works down to the most common. Switch to the checklist to see every card in one table with its number, rarity, type and illustrator, or download it as a PDF or a spreadsheet.
