Gyarados and Raichu from the ‘HS Trainer Kit’

As posted a few months ago, a new HS Trainer Kit would be released with the holo Raichu and Gyarados from HeartGold & SoulSilver, but with new English-exclusive artwork. The kits are now available in stores like Wal-Mart for $12.98. Thanks to Omahanime, we have scans of the two holo cards below, which you can click for larger images.

The kit comes with a HeartGold & SoulSilver booster pack as well as damage counters, a playmat, one guide for each 30-card deck, a rule book, and a cardboard deck box (featuring Raichu on one side and Gyarados on the other). The Gyarados 30-card deck comes with Magikarp, Gyarados (one holo, one non-holo), Totodile, Croconaw, Marill, Energy Switch, Pokemon Communication, Poke Ball, Professor Elm’s Training Method, Switch, Bill, and Water Energy. The Raichu deck contains Pikachu, Raichu (one holo, one non-holo), Mareep, Flaaffy, Meowth, Moomoo Milk, Copycat, Pokemon Collector, Switch, Poke Ball, Energy Switch, and Lightning Energy. The kit is obviously for two beginning players of the game – the one who uses the Water-type deck will learn about weaknesses the hard way. :p
