Poké Ball, one of the first Goods cards

Goods cards (Japanese: グッズ) are a Japanese classification of trading cards that debuted with the release of the HeartGold & SoulSilver Collections at the start of the LEGEND era.

Goods cards typically depict items from the Pokémon games, such as the Good Rod and Moomoo Milk, and any other non-Supporter/Stadium Trainer cards. Much like how Supporter and Stadium cards received a color tint of red and green, respectively, Goods cards received a tint of blue. Although, in Japan, the classification of Trainer cards was replaced by Goods cards, the English releases did not adopt this name change and continued classifying them as Trainer cards; however, they did keep the color change.

Players are allowed to play as many Goods cards as they wish during their turn. Many of the Goods cards that have seen multiple releases since the HeartGold & SoulSilver Collections have also seen different artwork by multiple artists. There are currently -1 different Goods cards, though many have been printed again with different artwork.
