About Wind from the Sea
What Wind from the Sea is
Wind from the Sea is the third expansion of the e-Card era in Japan, released on May 24, 2002 with 87 numbered cards plus three secret rares for 90 in total. Together with The Town on No Map, released on March 8, 2002, it became the English Aquapolis set of January 15, 2003. Its three secrets, Nidoking, Kingdra and Lugia at 88 to 90, are the Crystal Pokémon that Aquapolis introduced, cards whose Crystal Type Poké-Body changes their type to match the Energy attached. Japanese packs carried 1st Edition marks, and those prints lead the hub.
What makes Wind from the Sea different
- The first Crystal Pokémon Nidoking, Kingdra and Lugia close the set as secret rares with the Crystal Type Poké-Body, and the 1st Edition Lugia is the top card of the hub.
- McDonald's packs The hub tracks a McDonald's marked booster pack alongside the regular pack, a reminder of the Japanese McDonald's promotions that carried e-Card era packs.
Wind from the Sea products
Collecting and grading Wind from the Sea
The secret Lugia leads the hub in both 1st Edition and unlimited prints, followed by the secret Nidoking, Slowking, the secret Kingdra, Tyranitar, Entei and Steelix. 1st Edition copies rank above unlimited throughout. e-Card era holos scratch easily and the dot code strip along the edge shows wear, so a clean 1st Edition Crystal Lugia commands a large premium.
