Jumbo cards (Japanese: ジャンボカード Jumbo card), also occasionally referred to as Oversized cards, are a variant of Pokémon card released for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. These cards are strictly promotional and not legal for Organized Tournament play. As the name suggest, Jumbo cards are much larger in size than standard, regular-sized cards, varying from slightly larger than a normal sized card to a height of at least eight inches. In Japan, most Jumbo cards are given out at exclusive events, such as a Pokémon Center grand reopening or JR Train Stamp Rallies. Although this type of release method is possible for the international languages, the more common release method is in merchandise, such as the Mimikyu ex Box or the Dialga Premium Box. Although all produced and distributed by The Pokémon Company International, the international Jumbo cards aren't always consistently the same: some products will switch out their Jumbo cards for others when released in Europe.
As they aren't ever intended for tournament play, Jumbo cards are often given certain characteristics impossible for tournament cards. In English, there are four Jumbo cards printed as lenticular images (_____'s Snivy, _____'s Tepig, _____'s Oshawott, and Zoroark), giving these cards an exclusive 3D appearance. During the XY and Sun & Moon Series, The Pokémon Company International was unable to release figures in their TCG products when distributing them to European audiences. Thus, while North American audiences received products with figures, such as the Mega Charizard Collections, Europe instead received products with the figures replaced with Jumbo cards, i.e. the Mega Charizard Boxes.
The following is a chronological overview of all Jumbo cards released throughout the history of the international Pokémon TCG. Although some products that included Jumbo cards, like the Pikachu & Zekrom-GX Premium Collection and the First Partner Packs, were released in later Series, the Jumbo cards from these products are listed in the Series they mechanically originate from (i.e., Pokémon-GX in the Sun & Moon Series, etc.).
