The Heart Seeds (こころの種,Heart Seeds)? are the main collectable items that appear in Heartcatch Pretty Cure!. They can be used with the Heart Perfume, Shiny Perfume, Heart Pot, and Heartcatch Mirage toys to play games and music. The Heart Seeds are set into a slot in each toy to activate the function.
Heart Seeds could also be used with the Data Carddass arcade game.
A Heart Seed is a gem-like token or coin with a small heart shaped-hole inches from the top. Each Heart Seed features a unique image of its flower with the fairy that corresponds to the color of the Heart Seed, or a character from Heartcatch Pretty Cure!.
Each Heart Seed is denoted by a letter and number. The image on each Heart Seed also depicts a certain fairy depending on its color. The corresponding letters and fairies for each Heart Seed color are as follows:
There are eight Heart Seeds of each color except for Quartz and Ruby (both of which have sixteen), and Pearl (which has only seven).
There is another kind of Heart Seed called the Pretty Cure Seed (プリキュアの種,Pretty Cure Seed)?, which is used with the Heart Perfume, Shiny Perfume, or Heart Pot to transform into Pretty Cure. Each of the four Pretty Cure Seeds features the Heartcatch! insignia etched on it, and their colors differ according to which Cure uses it to transform.
An advanced version of the Pretty Cure Seed is the Super Pretty Cure Seed (スーパープリキュアの種,Super Pretty Cure Seed)?, which is used with the Heartcatch Mirage to retransform Pretty Cure into Super Pretty Cure. It is an all gold variant with a smaller piece under it. The symbol in the middle is more ornate with a gem in the center and an etched border. There is a crown on the top.
