The master set counts 88 Reverse Holofoil, 76 Normal and 21 Holofoil. It leaves out 10 Tsuguyoshi Yamato, 3 Chris Fulop, 2 Normal sold outside booster packs, 2 Reed Weichler and 3 more in 3 other printings.

EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua turns the rivalry between Hoenn’s two villainous organizations into the central theme of an entire expansion. Team Magma’s land-focused Pokémon face Team Aqua’s sea-oriented lineup, with Groudon and Kyogre looming over the conflict. Owned Pokémon return in a new form through names such as Team Magma’s Houndoom and Team Aqua’s Walrein, making allegiance part of each card’s identity. Its primary Japanese counterpart is Magma VS Aqua: Two Ambitions, with some cards, rarities, and numbering reorganized for the English release.

The set also introduces dual-type Pokémon to the English TCG, allowing selected cards to represent two Energy types at once. Team-based Trainers, hideouts, and supporters create decks that feel tied directly to one faction, while Pokémon-ex versions of Team Magma’s Groudon and Team Aqua’s Kyogre provide natural centrepieces. The artwork frequently shows uniforms, machinery, and environmental confrontation, giving the expansion a narrative consistency rarely seen in the era. Rather than simply adding more Hoenn Pokémon, EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua recreates one of the region’s defining storylines and remains an appealing set for collectors who value characters and world-building.
