==Thunderstorm Gift Box==
==Thunderstorm Gift Box==
The Thunderstorm Gift Box, known as the Tempest Gift Box outside America, was released in the time between {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} and {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}. It includes a unique {{TCG|Thunderstorm}} preconstructed deck featuring cards from {{TCG|Base Set}}, {{TCG|Jungle}}, {{TCG|Fossil}}, {{TCG|Team Rocket}}, and {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansions. It also includes three {{TCG|booster pack}}s, one each from {{TCG|Fossil}}, {{TCG|Team Rocket}}, {{TCG|Gym Heroes}}, and the [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]] CD-ROM. Also included were a play mat, deck building tip sheet, {{p|Pikachu}} coin, and a felt deck bag. The {{TCG ID|Fossil|Zapdos|15}} included within the product is exclusive to the deck, as it utilizes the Cosmos Holofoil introduced for the {{TCG|Base Set 2}}, and not the Starlight Holofoil originally used for the Fossil release.
