Gym Challenge · 2000The closing half of the Gym era — and Blaine’s Charizard
Gym Challenge closed the Gym era on October 16, 2000, two months after Gym Heroes, with Blaine, Sabrina, Koga and Giovanni’s Pokémon and 20 holo rares at numbers 1–20. A hundred and thirty-two cards in total, and it holds the card people chase from this pair: Blaine’s Charizard #2.

Blaine's Charizard$146.01Error card — missing the Energy symbol
Rocket's Mewtwo$61.00Oversized jumbo reprint
Brock's Vulpix$28.57W-stamp promo
None of these 3 cards are part of the 132-card Gym Challenge Master Set — they carry a Gym Challenge number but none of them came out of an ordinary booster pack. Blaine’s Charizard is the Energy misprint, Brock’s Vulpix carries the W stamp, and Rocket’s Mewtwo is an oversized jumbo reprint. Switch them on in the binder to lay them out with the set.

Your Gym Challenge Master Set Questions, Answered
How many cards are in the Gym Challenge Master Set?
A full Gym Challenge Master Set contains:
20 holo rares
21 rares
42 uncommons
49 commons
Total: 132 cards — 267 once you count every Gym Challenge printing
What counts as a complete Gym Challenge Master Set?
A complete Gym Challenge Master Set is the 132 numbered cards, in 1st Edition, Unlimited, or both — they are the same set, and the black “Edition 1” stamp is the only difference between them.
The Energy misprint of Blaine’s Charizard, the W-stamp Brock’s Vulpix and the jumbo Rocket’s Mewtwo are usually treated as optional additions for a Grand Master Set.
How many binder pages do I need for a Gym Challenge Master Set?
For a 132-card Gym Challenge Master Set you’ll need:
✔ 9-pocket binder — 15 dual-sided pages
✔ 12-pocket binder — 11 dual-sided pages
If you are aiming for the 267-printing Grand Master Set:
✔ 9-pocket binder — 30 dual-sided pages
✔ 12-pocket binder — 23 dual-sided pages
Are promos part of a Gym Challenge Master Set?
In short, no. Promos are released separately from the main numbered expansion — Brock’s Vulpix carries a W stamp and Rocket’s Mewtwo’s jumbo is a merchandise reprint.
Many collectors still add them, along with the Energy misprint. That expanded version is often called a Grand Master Set.
How much does it cost to master Gym Challenge?
Based on ungraded sold comps at PriceCharting, the 1st Edition Gym Challenge Master Set totals $6,330.35 — that is every one of the 132 cards, not including promos and variants.
Prices move over time, so treat this as a current market estimate rather than a fixed checklist value. The set is carried by Blaine’s Charizard #2 and Misty’s Golduck #12, with Erika’s Venusaur #4 and Rocket’s Mewtwo #14 close behind.
Method. Every figure here is the ungraded market value from PriceCharting, sold-comp data, October 7, 2026 — refreshed monthly. The total is one copy of each of the 132 numbered 1st Edition cards, summed; the PSA 10 figure is unconditioned PSA 10 market values for the same 132 cards.
