- The only two non-holographic rare cards that were not duplicates were Espeon and Umbreon.
- As with Neo 1 in Japan, Neo 2 had a 9 card promotional set - five of those (Espeon, Umbreon, Unown E, Unown N and Unown O) were added to the English set. Two became Promotional cards (reverse-holographic Pichu and Entei), and one was never released in English (a reverse-holographic Charizard). Eevee, a reprint of the card in the expansion, also was not released in English. The characters represented by the three Unown cards spell out "NEO".
- Dark Raichu made its official Japanese debut in Neo 2 (as a super rare); it was first produced as a Wizards of the Coast exclusive card back in Team Rocket.
