'''Pokémon VS''' (Japanese:  '''ポケモンカード★VS''' ''Pokémon Card VS'') is a Japanese-only release of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. It was considered an extension of the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} and {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} Expansions, as it featured the [[Johto]] [[Gym Leaders]] and [[Elite Four]] from [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold and Silver]], along with updated cards (and artwork) for the [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders.

==Trivia==
*This was the first Japanese set to have a numbering system for their sets. Instead of ordering them alphabetically and in descending rarity as with English sets, the Japanese first ordered them by type, Pokédex ([[National Dex|National]]) number and in ascending rarity. With the release of {{TCG|e-Card 2}}, they stuck with ordering them by type and Pokédex number.
*This was the first Expansion in Japan to feature the new card layout, first featured in English in {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}. A "''VS''" symbol appears in the corner, later replaced with the "''e''" symbol in the later e-series sets. This was likely a taster for Japanese players for the upcoming e-sets, as these cards feature no Dot-Code data.
*This was also the first Japanese Expansion to feature a secret card, that card being Rocket's Tyranitar.
*All Gym Leaders from Kanto and Johto are present in this Expansion, excluding [[Giovanni]] and {{ga|Blue}}.
*This set featured an unusual packaging system. Instead of containing 10 cards in a booster pack (or half deck as some call these packs, which isn't strictly true as half decks are fixed), it contained 30 cards. There were three boosters to choose from, each containing a random assortment of set type Pokémon (i.e. one could only get a {{ct|Fire}} Pokémon in the booster that displayed a Fire-type symbol). {{ct|Colorless}} Pokémon were featured in all booster packs. The pack assortment was ordered: -
**Grass/Lightning
**Fire/Water
**Psychic/Fighting
*The only uncommon cards in this Expansion are Trainer Cards.
*[[Wizards of the Coast]] officially stated that they had no plans to release the VS set, primarily because Wizards had competitive play in mind. The majority of Pokémon featured are fully evolved and designated basic cards. Therefore, many feature high HP and quite broken attacks for basic cards, and would give an unfair advantage in battles.
