Pokemon Battrio Best Selection Checklist (2009)

The retained maker catalogue lists 97 pucks. Printed codes include 01-001 BS, 02-006 BS and 04-★BS. Six different entries share P-BS; each keeps its own photo slots.

The maker’s own pack index publishes this set, and it sits between chapter 08 and chapter 09 there. The official top page called it in operation on 27 June 2009, which places it between the last Battrio Super chapter and the Battrio Zero changeover.

Retained copies of the maker’s set page list all 97 pucks, their printed numbers, Japanese names and rarity tiers. The checklist preserves that order: 5 マスター, 14 ハイパー, 27 スーパー and 51 ノーマル.

English names. Every puck shows its English species name beside the Japanese name the official set page prints. The maker writes Espeon as エーフィー, with a long mark the usual spelling エーフィ does not have.

A Battrio pack is 40 mm across and 3.4 mm thick. Both figures are printed three times on the maker’s own dated press release of 11 April 2007, in the body text, in the specification table and in a photograph caption. The maker’s official name for the object is pack, not puck.

Battrio opened in Japanese arcades in July 2007, mid-month. The press release states July 2007 as the planned operation start, and the official site told players in late June that the machine would run from mid-July. The line ended with the V05 chapter, which began operating from mid-May 2012, and cabinets were pulled from mid-June 2012.
