Pokémon Play It! Version 2 is a Pokémon game for PC that simulates the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It is the sequel to Pokémon Play It!. It was included in the Thunderstorm Gift Box (known as the Tempest Gift Box outside of the United States).

The "Play" mode is divided into fifteen levels: five "Basic", three "Basic Challenges", six "Advanced" and one "Advanced Challenge". Those without "Challenge" in their name are tutorial levels, with pre-designed, non-shuffled decks, using only one prize, used to teach the player various aspects of the game, such as retreating, status conditions, Pokémon Powers etc. Coin tosses are also usually not random. These levels replace most of the less interactive content of the "Learn" feature of the original, although parts of it can still be found in Version 2.

In the "Challenge" levels, the player can play actual duels against Julie. "Basic Challenges" use the half decks from the original. Those three levels are Fighting vs. Water, Water vs. Fighting and Fire vs. Fighting duels, respectively. The "Advanced Challenge" mode is where the player can play a match using standard 60-card decks, choosing from seven available decks. Unlike the original, Julie can also use any of the decks (although it is not possible for both sides to use the same deck).

Each card has its own unique cry, some of which are based on the their voices in the Pokémon anime.
