The following is a chronological list of TCG-related items made available during the Series.

Trade and Play Kit
Participating stores in several countries hosted Trade and Play events at the end of February 2020 in celebration of Pokémon Day. These events catered for children who were newcomers to the TCG, encouraging them to meet, trade, and battle with others. Much like similar events held in 2019, visitors were given a free Trade and Play Kit while stocks lasted—an oversized booster pack that contained a three-card Fun Pack, an activity sheet, a coin, and a trading guide. The Fun Packs were initially from the Sword & Shield expansion and contained two Common cards plus one Parallel Holofoil card; kits distributed later in the year could include Fun Packs from the Rebel Clash or Darkness Ablaze expansions. Possible coin designs included Orange Frosted Holofoil Lycanroc and Blue Rainbow Holofoil Lucario; later kits could also come with Orange Cracked Ice Holofoil Charizard coins.
The trading guide features A Guide to Trading Cards on one side and a Trading Card Breakdown on the other. A Guide to Trading Cards touches upon rarity and briefly explains what Pokémon V, Pokémon VMAX, Pokémon-GX, Prism Star, and Full Art cards are, as well as advising kit recipients to trade cards that have similar rarities. The Trading Card Breakdown features a typical Pokémon card with annotations, similar to those found in rulebooks, and a type guide. The enclosed activity sheet varied, with possible challenges including:
- Evolutions – Match each Pokémon with the one it evolves into.
- Picture Copy – Copy the image of Scorbunny using the 5×10 grid of squares.
- Silhouette – Identify the silhouettes of the Galar first partner Pokémon.
- Sudoku – Complete the 4×4 Sudoku grid using the remaining Pokémon images.
- Word Search – Find the twelve Galar Pokémon hidden in the letter grid.
The kits were available first in Canada and Australia at participating EB Games stores from February 27,[1][2] followed by distributions in Canadian Toys "R" Us stores and participating Best Buy stores in the United States from February 29.[3] More waves of kits were available at the same retail chains later in the year.

Spring 2020 Collector Chest
The first iteration in the Collector Chest product line for the Sword & Shield Series was released on April 3, 2020.

Galar Pals Mini Tins
The Galar Pals Mini Tins were a continuation of the mini tin product line that launched in the Sun & Moon Series. The first quintet of the Sword & Shield Series, and the third overall, was released on April 3, 2020 and collectively featured a Naoki Saito illustration of Pokémon native to the Galar region. Each tin contained two booster packs, a coin, and an art card. The front of the art card features the same illustration segment as the tin it came in, while the reverse features the Pokédex entry of the tin's focal Pokémon. Different coin designs and selections of booster packs could be found in the tins depending on when they were packaged—production codes on the tins provided a rough indication of their contents. Tins released on April 3 could have one of two codes, "K19" or "A20", and could include one pack each of Evolutions and Sword & Shield or one pack each of Burning Shadows and Sword & Shield. Tins released later in 2020 featured the production code "D20" and typically included one pack each of Sun & Moon and Sword & Shield.

To mark the return of in-store events, qualified Play! Pokémon retailers began to distribute Play! Pokémon Prize Packs from November 9, 2022. Phasing out the Play! Pokémon promotional cards awarded prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and comparative to POP packs released under Pokémon Organized Play, each Prize Pack included six cards from a large pool of Standard format cards at the time. Series One comprised 170 different cards sourced from the first two years of the Sword & Shield Series, each of which featured the Play! Pokémon logo; some were also featured exclusively in Holofoil or Non Holofoil. Although distributed at the discretion of the host store, Prize Packs were intended to support events such as Pokémon Leagues, League Challenges, and League Cups. While Series One had a rather limited distribution period, the intention of the program was for new series to drop every six months starting with Series Two.[7] Each Series One Prize Pack design features Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon.

This promo card is a reprint of Jirachi V from the Astral Radiance expansion with alternate artwork that originated from the Japanese Time Gazer expansion. The box also included a Cosmos Holofoil version of Absol from Astral Radiance, four booster packs, and a code card for the Pokémon TCG Live. Distributor listings for the Jirachi V Box appeared as early as December 2022 with a speculated March 2023 release;[12] however, no more information surfaced until April 2023 when it was discovered Jirachi V had been added to the Pokémon TCG Card Dex app, leading some to the conclusion that the box was either delayed or canceled.[13] Although eventually released in August 2023, the reason for its delay is unknown.
