Collection: Gym Challenge

The Pokémon Base Set Gym Challenge is a nostalgic and highly collectible expansion released on October 16, 2000, as the seventh set in the Pokémon Trading Card Game series and the fifth of the Neo era. Featuring 132 cards, this set continues the Gym theme from Gym Heroes, spotlighting iconic Gym Leaders like Sabrina, Koga, Blaine, Giovanni, and others, each with their signature Pokémon and unique Trainer cards. Notable for introducing powerful cards such as Blaine's Arcanine—the first to deal over 100 damage in a single attack—and Rocket's Mewtwo, the first card with three attacks, Gym Challenge also includes 10 rare holofoil cards and special energy types, making it a prized addition for collectors and players alike. With its strong ties to the original Pokémon anime and memorable artwork, this set remains a fan favorite in the TCG community.
