'''Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンカードGB2 GR団参上!''' ''Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!'') (abbreviated '''Pokémon Card GB2''') is the Japan-only sequel to {{Card GB}}. The game story revolves around a new villainous team, [[Team Great Rocket]], and contains nearly all of the cards from {{TCG|Base Set}}, {{TCG|Jungle}}, {{TCG|Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Team Rocket}}. A promotional {{TCG ID|GB2|Lugia|promo}} card was included with the game.
