Japan's set also introduced a type of card that had been present in English regions since the launch of ''{{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}'' in the form of reverse holographic cards, known in Japan as '''mirror cards''' (ミラーカード). These feature the same holofoil treatment as reverse holographic cards that has been present since ''Diamond & Pearl'' in English.

===Trivia===
* This expansion marks the first instance in the TCG in which one generation of cards has included three distinct series; these are referred to as the DP Series, the PL Series and the HGSS Series (Pokémon Card Game DP, DPt and LEGEND respectively in Japan).
* The card revamp for this series of expansions marks only the second time in the TCG that the card layout has been revamped mid-generation, following the shift from Neo to e-Card in Generation II.
* Six evolutionary items are featured in multiple different artworks from the expansion:
** A {{evostone|Thunderstone}} can be seen on {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Raichu|10}}'s artwork;
** A {{evostone|Fire Stone}} can be seen on {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Arcanine|1}}'s and {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}'s artworks;
** A {{evostone|Water Stone}} can be seen on {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Starmie|53|}}'s artwork;
** A {{evostone|Leaf Stone}} can be seen on {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Exeggutor|18}}'s artwork;
** A {{evostone|Moon Stone}} can be seen on {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Wigglytuff|56}}'s and {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Clefable|3}}'s artworks; and
** A {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} can be seen on {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Slowking|12}}'s artwork.
* The Energy cards were the first ones that featured Pokémon:
**{{TCG|Fighting Energy}} features {{p|Sudowoodo}}
**{{TCG|Fire Energy}} features {{p|Ho-Oh}} and the [[Bell Tower]]
**{{TCG|Grass Energy}} features {{p|Celebi}}
**{{TCG|Lightning Energy}} features {{p|Ampharos}} and the [[Glitter Lighthouse]]
**{{TCG|Psychic Energy}} features {{p|Espeon}}
**{{TCG|Water Energy}} features {{p|Lugia}} and the [[Whirl Islands]]
**{{TCG|Darkness Energy}} features {{p|Umbreon}}
**{{TCG|Metal Energy}} features {{p|Steelix}} and the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]]
**These basic energy cards are also reprinted in {{TCG|Call of Legends}} as Reverse Holographic cards.
**Energy cards received in the three starter theme decks do not feature Pokémon.
* This is the first time that Double Colorless Energy has been printed since the {{TCG|Base Set}} in Japan, and since {{TCG|Base Set 2}} elsewhere.
* Typically, there is about 6 Prime Cards per 36 booster packs for HGSS Series.
