Prerelease Cards (TCG)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
- The Prerelease cards are reprints of one selected card from an Expansion with a foil Poké Ball symbol and "PRERELEASE" stamp in the bottom right corner of the card art. These cards were released through special Prerelease tournaments held on weekends before the release of the Expansion.
- The only holographic Prerelease card is Armaldo, likely as it was the first Prerelease card to be produced by Nintendo.
- Luxio was the first Prerelease card to have a "STAFF" stamped version, for the Prerelease event organizers. Sets released thereafter have continued to feature STAFF versions as well as a normal version.
