About Gym Heroes
What Gym Heroes is
Gym Heroes is the sixth main expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released in English on August 14, 2000 by Wizards of the Coast. It has 132 cards with 19 holofoil rares, from Blaine's Moltres 1 to The Rocket's Trap 19, and it combines the Japanese Leaders' Stadium of October 24, 1998 with part of Challenge from the Darkness. The set features the Kanto Gym Leaders Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, Erika, Sabrina and Blaine alongside Team Rocket.
Gym Heroes introduced Owner's Pokémon, cards carrying a Trainer's name with the Trainer's headshot in the bottom right corner over their Gym Badge, and the Stadium subclass of Trainer cards. It was the first expansion whose English and Japanese releases used different set symbols, and the Gym Leaders appear as holofoil Trainer cards, Brock 15, Erika 16, Lt. Surge 17 and Misty 18.
What makes Gym Heroes different
- Sabrina's Gengar Sabrina's Gengar 14 is the most valuable card in the set in PSA 10 in both its 1st Edition and unlimited prints, well clear of the 1st Edition Blaine's Moltres 1.
- The W stamped Psyduck Misty's Psyduck 54 exists with a W stamp as a Top Deck Magazine promo, and that print ranks in the set's top five in PSA 10.
- Sabrina's Gaze redrawn Sabrina's Gaze has different artwork in English and Japanese: the original showed Sabrina holding a Master Ball with a finger that appeared raised, so the English print shows her throwing a Poké Ball.
How Gym Heroes arrived
Leaders' Stadium released in Japan on October 24, 1998 as the first Japanese expansion sold with pre-constructed Theme Decks. The English Gym Heroes followed on August 14, 2000, after Team Rocket on April 24, 2000 and before Gym Challenge on October 16, 2000 completed the Gym block. It launched with four Theme Decks named for Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge and Erika, each in its Gym Leader's signature type with an exclusive Starmie coin, and Misty's Seadra 9 served as the Pokémon League Prerelease promo.
Gym Heroes products
Gym Heroes was sold in booster packs and booster boxes in 1st Edition and unlimited print runs and in four Theme Decks. The sealed table above tracks all of them.
Collecting and grading Gym Heroes
The 1st Edition Sabrina's Gengar 14 leads the set in PSA 10, with the unlimited Sabrina's Gengar second, then the 1st Edition Blaine's Moltres 1 and Rocket's Scyther 13, the W stamped Misty's Psyduck 54, the 1st Edition Rocket's Moltres 12 and the unlimited Blaine's Moltres 1. The live chase list above ranks every tracked card by PSA 10 value.
Wizards of the Coast holofoils from 2000 show print lines, holo scratches and edge whitening readily, so PSA 10 copies of the 1st Edition holos are scarce and carry a very wide premium over PSA 9. 1st Edition and unlimited prints are graded and priced separately, as are the stamped promos. Sealed Gym Heroes is scarce, and the sealed table above tracks what boxes, packs and Theme Decks trade for today.
