The HS Trainer Kit is a special Deck Kit for the Pokémon Trading Card Game and features the Pokémon Gyarados and Raichu. It was released in English and European languages only.
Release date
- The kit was released in May 2010.
Information
- All of the cards found within the two Half decks are reprints from HeartGold & SoulSilver.
- The cards Gyarados and Raichu (both holo and non-holo versions) feature alternate artwork to their HeartGold & SoulSilver counterparts.
- None of the cards have rarity symbols and they each feature a collection number and set symbol exclusive to the kit.
- In addition to the half decks, the HS Trainer Kit also includes a HeartGold & SoulSilver booster pack, rulebook, double-player mat, damage counters, status counters and a custom Pikachu coin.
- A new addition to the kit is the inclusion of a Trainer Kit Guide, which takes players from Set Up through to their 8th turn of an example battle. There is one guide for each of the half decks included. Another new addition comes in the form of a 60-card deck box, featuring Gyarados and Raichu.
Trivia
- Every card in each of the half decks has an individual collection number, unlike past Trainer Kits where multiples of one card share the same collection number.
- The Energy cards from the half decks do not have the Pokémon/location image additions their HeartGold & SoulSilver counterparts feature.
