Gym Challenge is the second set in the Gym series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released on October 16, 2000. This set introduced 132 new cards and focused on the four final Gym Leaders of the Kanto region: Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, and Giovanni. Like Gym Heroes, each Pokémon was paired with its respective Gym Leader, creating thematic decks and unique play strategies.
