As well as producing unique or variant cards available at events, Nintendo has also released several varieties of promotional items in which to deliver special cards. Such mediums include value packs, boxed sets and collector tins. The list below focuses on value packs and boxed sets, which contain at least one promotional card, as well as booster packs or a theme deck from recent Expansions. The items are listed in (roughly) chronological order and contain details of their contents.

These value packs were released in conjunction with EX Legend Maker, the card back featuring a similar design to those of the Booster packs.

Epic Collection Value Box

Although they have no connection to the Epic Collection Deck Kits, many stores and websites applied the name to these value boxes as they were released roughly at the same time.

Of particular note is the Typhlosion promo card, as it saw a limited release sometime prior to the release of this box, allowing collectors and players to obtain it again.
