The decks, their cards, and the poses of some of the artwork are an obvious callback to the Gym Heroes set.
Onix joins the very exclusive “not fully evolved” GX club.
The Supporters likely confirm the decks will contain the Pokemon they mention, like Gyarados for Misty and Golem for Brock.
The decks will come with a deck, a deckbox, sleeves, a coin, damage counters, a (paper?) playmat, and a storage box.
