Release Info: Aquapolis is the name given to the second main expansion of the e-Card Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. In Japan, it was released as The Town on No Map, the second expansion and Wind from the Sea, the third expansion, in the Pokémon Card Game e-Card Era. The English expansion was released on January 15, 2003, while the Japanese expansions were released on March 8, 2002 and May 24, 2002 respectively. Aquapolis introduced Crystal Pokémon, a type of Pokémon. Crystal Pokémon have the Crystal Type Poké-Body, which changes the Pokémon's type to the type of Energy that was attached until the end of their current turn. The color of the Energy that could be attached were reflected in the card's background highlight. Aquapolis have a separate card collection number for Rare Holo cards; numbered with an H (H##). Some cards were also numbered with letters (##a/##b). They featured different Dot-Code strip, which contained different data for the Pokémon.

Trivia: Tail Slap is a move later introduced in the Generation V Pokémon games; however, the Japanese names are not the same, making this attack and the move unrelated. This card's English e-Reader Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Crystal, whereas the Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Gold.
