Pokémon Chrome Trading Card Series 1:

This was a set of Pokémon cards produced by Topps in 2000. It consisted of 78 cards covering the first 78 Pokémon. The artworks on the cards of 1 to 76 were also released in Pokémon Trading Cards series 1 and cards 77 and 78 in Pokémon Trading Cards series 2.

The Chrome cards can be easily distinguished from the regular cards by the Topps Chrome logo on the front and back of the cards. The cards are also heavily embossed and very thick, so although the artworks match, there is a huge difference between the cards.

Each of these cards came in a standard base Chrome as well as having three variants included as random inserts: Spectra-Chrome, Sparkle-Chrome, and Tekno-Chrome. Cards were sold in randomly distributed packs of five. The variant inserts could be found at odds of 1:2 per pack for Spectra-Chrome, 1:10 for Sparkle-Chrome, and 1:15 for Tekno-Chrome.

Pokémon Trading Cards series 2:

This was a set of Pokémon cards manufactured by Topps in 2000. There were 72 cards in total: 41 Pokémon cards, 5 "Heroes & Villains" cards, 25 episode cards, and a checklist card. Each of these 72 cards also had two foil card versions (silver and rainbow). In addition, there were 27 bonus "chase cards" not included on the checklist, including 12 die-cut embossed cards, 10 animation sticker/stick-on cards, and 5 clear cards.
