Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards was a set of Pokémon-themed trading cards manufactured by Topps in 1999. There were 72 cards in total: 41 cards featuring scenes from Mewtwo Strikes Back, 18 cards featuring scenes from Pikachu's Vacation, 12 evolution cards, and a checklist. In addition, there were 12 die-cut embossed evolution cards and 18 sticker cards, however, these were secret "chase cards" and are not included on the checklist.
Cards were sold in randomly distributed packets of eight in the "Blue edition" (featuring a blue Topps logo) and later in five for the "Black edition" (featuring a black Topps logo). One card in each packet, chosen at random, would be a foil card. The foil card could be any of the 72 regular cards, including the checklist itself.

There are 18 sticker cards in this set. On the front of the sticker card is a starry pattern with a removable Pokémon sticker on it and the back of each card contains one out of nine pieces to a puzzle forming an image from the movie.
Trivia
- One of the cards from Mewtwo Strikes Back names Donphan as "Donfan", probably due to its trademarked Japanese name and the fact that Gold and Silver weren't out in North America yet. It was later corrected in the "Black edition" cards.
- The cards from Pikachu's Vacation name Marill as "Pikablu" and Snubbull as "Buru". This contradicts later promotional items for the movie, such as the short's novelization, which use the final English names for these Pokémon. The names were later corrected in the "Black edition", but spelt Snubbull as "Snubble".
- "Buru" can be considered a transliteration of Snubbull's Japanese name, ブルー Bull.
- Many cards, such as #32 "The Battle Renewed", feature scenes from the original theatrical version of the film, not the kanzenban edition that included scenes that were specifically reanimated for North American audiences. This is likely a result of the cards being created before the English version of the movie was completed, considering the cards also did not feature finalized names for Donphan, Snubbull, and Marill.
