Miscellaneous Promotional cards (TCG)

Miscellaneous Promotional cards

Cards in set >400 Release date Release period May 1999 - Present

The Miscellaneous Promotional cards are cards from the Pokémon Trading Card Game that typically vary from normal prints in numbered expansions or promotional sets by featuring a special stamp or a holographic treatment. These cards are usually distributed via boxed sets or blister packs that often relate to recent core TCG expansion releases or current events in the Pokémon franchise. There are also a number of unique cards that have been released via limited in-store promotions, tours, and high profile events.

Wizards produced only a handful of these variant cards during their occupation (1999-2002, below) in comparison to Pokémon USA (2003-present, below) during the same timeframe. This in part is arguably due to the TCG's continued success, with promotional material released through Premier Events and POP-related merchandise.

Trivia

• In 2006, there was no Stadium Challenge tournament, so no promotional card was produced for the event.
• Holographic versions of δ Delta Species Pokémon from the POP Series sets are unique among holographic δ Delta Species cards, as they feature the 'cosmic' holographic design as opposed to the plain refractor treatment every other holographic δ Delta Species card features.
• In 2007, Gym and Stadium challenges were rejected in favor of Battle Road tournaments, similar to those in Japan. The promotional cards sported a new stamp logo for these events. State Championships also had their name expanded to "State/Province/Territory", the promotional cards sporting the modified stamp logo.
• The 'shatter' holographic pattern first featured on Regirock ex, Regice ex, and Registeel ex both in English and Japanese began being used extensively with the variant print of Rotom, thus gaining the colloquial term Rotom holo within the community. It has since been used on several variant prints and promotional cards, also replacing the 'cosmic' holographic treatment on special versions of normally non-holographic cards included in Theme Decks.
• With the beginning of the 2009-2010 Pokémon League season, POP packs were phased out with individual promotional cards once again. These cards have a unique cross-hatch reverse-holographic treatment with a POP logo watermark. In August 2010, Pokémon Organized Play was rebranded as Play! Pokémon. Cards released through the program beginning with the 2010-2011 season kept the same design, albeit with the updated Play! Pokémon logo as the watermark. Cards released through the Professor Program also received the same cross-hatch treatment with the Professor Program logo as the watermark. Cards awarded at Play! Pokémon premier events in the 2011-2012 season featured a Championship Series logo stamp instead of the Play! Pokémon logo watermark.
