===Compatibility===
==Connectivity==
* This game cannot connect (battle, trade, or use [[Card Pop!]]) with the first game, {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}. It can only communicate with another copy of Pokémon Card GB2.
Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR! allows players to send and receive cards and deck configurations or perform a [[Card Pop!]] between two cartridges via [[infrared]], using the [[Game Boy Color]]'s Infra-Red Communications Port.
 
Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR! allows players to duel each other using their own decks via the [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]].
 
Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR! cannot communicate with {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}. All multiplayer features are disabled in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release.
 
===Card Pop!===
{{main|Card Pop!}}
Card Pop! is a 2-player feature that randomly generates a card for each player. When the Infra-Red Communications Ports of two [[Game Boy Color]] systems with the game are connected, each player will receive a random card. A player cannot Card Pop! with the same game again until both players have used the feature with so many others that their partner's ID is overwritten in both games.
 
This feature is the only way of obtaining the [[Phantom Cards]] ({{OBP|Lugia|GB2 promo}} and {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}).
 
Card Pop! cannot be performed between Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!. Attempting to do so can result in [[glitch]]es such as a [[game freeze]] or a loss of save data in Pokémon Trading Card Game.<!--even the Japanese version-->

In addition, none of the spoof and non-legal cards from Vending Series 3 are included, the only exception being {{TCG ID|Vending|Bill's PC|S3}} (called Bill's Computer in the game).

===Discrepancies between Pokémon Card GB2 and other prints===
The following cards have different levels in-game than they do on their actual card prints or on other prints showing the card (in the case of cards that were not actually printed). Only four cards are affected by this error from the {{tcg|Vending Machine cards}} and game-exclusive creations.
*{{TCG ID|Vending|Charmander|S1}} - The actual card is Lv.10, but in-game is noted as being Lv.12.
*{{TCG ID|GB|Moltres|1}} - While this is a fake card made exclusively for the games, the Japanese trading guide print shows the card as Lv.37 while the game lists it as a Lv.40 card.
*{{TCG ID|GB|Magnemite|1}} - While this is a fake card made exclusively for the games, the Japanese trading guide print shows the card as Lv.15 while the game lists it as a Lv.14 card.
*{{TCG ID|Vending|Doduo|S1}} - The actual card is Lv.10, but in-game is noted as being Lv.8.
