Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the EX era.
Team Rocket Returns is an expansion in the EX era of the English-language Pokémon TCG, released on November 1, 2004 under the set code TR. The card list runs to 109 official cards, with 2 secret cards above that number, for 111 catalog printings in all. The set is built around Team Rocket's return, and it shows in the Dark Dragonair, Dark Houndoom, Dark Pupitar and Dark Tyranitar cards, each printed twice. Darkness leads its Pokémon types, followed by Grass, Water and Fighting, and headline cards such as Rocket's Snorlax ex and Rocket's Mewtwo ex carry the Rocket theme.
Team Rocket Returns has no rarity above Rare in its printed ladder, which runs Common, Uncommon and Rare, so the chase sits in the 2 secret cards numbered past the printed 109 and in specific Rare cards. The most valuable cards are the Torchic ☆, Mudkip ☆ and Treecko ☆ starter cards, all illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, with Mitsuhiro Arita's Rocket's Snorlax ex ranking 3rd. Rocket's Mewtwo ex follows in 5th. Value is heavily concentrated: the top five cards alone hold 73 percent of the set's total card value, so the rest of the card list is comparatively light.

A complete run means all 111 catalog printings, and every one of them is priced. Because the top five cards carry 73 percent of the set's total card value, the cost of a complete set is set mostly by a handful of starter and ex cards, while the commons, uncommons and remaining rares are a small part of the total. For sealed product, the set has a booster box and a booster pack listed. The 2 secret cards and the doubled Dark Pokémon printings are worth checking against the card list when tracking a master set.
