Collection: Gym Heroes
The Pokémon Gym Heroes trading card set, released on August 14, 2000 by Wizards of the Coast, is the sixth expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the second in the Gym series, featuring a total of 132 cards—the largest set at the time. Centered around the iconic Kanto Gym Leaders Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, and Erika, this set introduces "Owner's Pokémon," where each card showcases a Pokémon linked to its trainer, complete with the Gym Leader’s image and badge. The set includes rare holofoil cards such as Blaine's Moltres, Sabrina's Gengar, and The Rocket's Trap, along with Trainer and Energy cards like Stadium cards that add new strategic depth to gameplay. Available in both 1st Edition and Unlimited print runs, Gym Heroes is highly sought after by collectors for its nostalgic value, unique design, and inclusion of fan-favorite characters and Pokémon from the original series.
