The basic Chrome cards were printed on heavy (almost 3-dimensional) card stock using a patented finish called "Holochrome" which was shiny and "chromium-like" in appearance. Additionally, the Pokemon Chrome series included three premium (more highly reflective) parallel insert sets. Each type of insert set possessed a unique refractive capability.

The higher the refractive level - the rarer the card was to find in the packs. Premium card distribution odds were as follows: Chrome: 4 to 5 cards per pack. (basic patented shiny "holochrome") Spectra-Chrome: 1 card / 2 packs (more light-reflective than the regular holochrome) Sparkle-Chrome: 1 card / 10 packs (glittery, sparkly finish coated over the holochrome) Tekno-Chrome: 1 card / 15 packs (dazzling finish - even more intensely light-reflective than Spectra-Chrome) In summary, each 30-pack box of Topps Chrome Pokemon cards generally contained a breakdown of cards as follows: 130 Regular Chrome cards, 15 Spectra-Chrome parallel cards, 3 Sparkle-Chrome parallel cards, and 2 Tekno-Chrome parallel.
