Twelve Pokémon cards from the previous series 1 were also available as a secret die-cut version. The die-cut version was almost the same as the normal version, except the edges of the card are cut in unique ways and parts of the print on the front of the card would be embossed.
The twelve die-cut cards in series 2 are:
- EV1 #10 Caterpie
- EV2 #11 Metapod
- EV3 #12 Butterfree
- EV4 #43 Oddish

Animation stick-on cards
Ten "animation stick-on" cards were included in the set. Each card appears as a normal card, but the picture of the Pokémon can be peeled off and is actually a sticker (with a clear background). On the back of each card is one of nine pieces to a puzzle, except for the Rattata card, which shows a small version of the completed puzzle picture.
