The only thing that stands against TRR to me is that there’s not Gen 3 Pokemon in it apart from the Gold stars. I guess that maybe it should be ex Deoxys. I like Emerald too, lots of playable cards were introduced in the set.

Why nobody said Steam Siege yet?
I like Steam Siege as a set, but we’re talking top 5 ever.
1.) Base
2.) Gym Challenge
3.) Team Rocket
4.) Fossil
5.) Jungle

Aquapolis
- EX Dragon Frontiers
- EX Team Rocket Returns
- XY Roaring Skies
- EX Holon Phantoms
- Diamond & Pearl
- Delta Species - I love the concept of a separate world that only exists in the TCG (Holon). Wish they did this more.
- Majestic Dawn - Fantastic art in this set and I love the Eeveelutions theme
- Neo Revelation - I think I was in 1st grade when this set came out. I remember being amazed by the art on the holos.
- Rising Rivals - I think the SP sets did the whole “Gym Leader’s Pokemon” idea better than Gym Heroes/Challenge
- Team Rocket Returns - More nostalgia, I opened a ton of these packs with my brother as a kid
