|
With the start of every TCG Series, promotional merchandise for the Pokémon Trading Card Game is released. Beginning in November 2016, the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon, the start of Generation VII, and the start of the Sun & Moon TCG Series allowed for a large number of promotional material and items to be made available to fans to purchase, collect, earn, and trade. The following is a chronological list of all TCG related merchandise made available during this Series of the card game.
Alola Collection
The first product of the Sun & Moon TCG Series is the Alola Collection. Released exclusively early to Target stores November 13, 2016, it was made available elsewhere in North America on November 18, 2016, and November 23, 2016 in Europe, the same day as the Pokémon Sun & Moon video games in each region. The Alola Collection comes in 2 varieties, each featuring one of the two game mascot Legendary Pokémon, Solgaleo and Lunala. Also featured are the three Alola starter Pokémon Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio.
The two regional pairs of promotional boxes differ in contents. All four iterations of this product contain a Jumbo card of either one of the two Pokémon-GX representing Solgaleo-GX and Lunala-GX, as well as one additional SM Black Star Promotional card for each of the three starter Pokémon and a code card for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online. The North American versions however, include both a collector's pin and sculpted figure of either Solgaleo or Lunala, as well as 5 booster packs. The three promotional cards differ between the Solgaleo and Lunala Alola Collections, with the Solgaleo Alola Collection containing Water-Web Holofoils of Sun & Moon Rowlet and Popplio and Black Star Promo Litten while the Lunala Alola Collection contains Water-Web Holofoil Litten and Black Star Promos Rowlet and Popplio. The European versions, on the other hand, contain no figure and only 3 booster packs, and replace the Legendary pin with a single pin of the three starters for both versions.
