About the Pokémon
Pokémon Breeder is an original-era Trainer card concerned with evolution. Its effect allows a matching Stage 2 card to be used with a Basic Pokémon under the printed conditions. The card's subject is a human supporting Pokémon development, rather than an individual species with its own Pokédex number.
About the Expansion
Released in Japan on 20 October 1996, Expansion Pack established the Pokémon Trading Card Game alongside its starter product. Its Kanto Pokémon, Trainer cards and Energy cards introduced the game's foundational structure. The original Japanese Pocket Monsters card back places these cards at the beginning of the TCG's collecting history.
