Introduction
At the beginning of the book, the foreword from Professor Oak welcomes the reader and gives them a brief explanation of the concepts illustrated in the book. Then, in "The World of Pokémon," the essentials of the TCG are explained, to ensure that the reader understands what they're reading. "Anatomy of a Pokémon Card" tells about the basics of a Pokémon TCG card. Lt. Surge's Raichu is used to illustrate the points shown, such as Hit Points and Attacks. In the "Train With The Heroes" section, the writer gives their opinions on the best cards in the set, and what the Gym Heroes set has that previous sets haven't, such as Stadium cards.
Decks
The book details numerous deck ideas utilizing mostly cards from the Gym Heroes set, as well as some from other sets. "Cool Decks You Can Build" comes next, divided into "Easy-To-Build Decks" and "Advanced Decks." The listed decks are as follows:
