The Japanese Sword & Shield Era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game began shortly after the worldwide release of the Generation VIII titles Pokémon Sword and Shield in November 2019. In addition to the expansions, subsets, and self-contained products distributing new cards throughout the Era, the collection also includes many other TCG paraphernalia released as part of campaigns and events. Below is a chronological list of all the items released during the Japanese Sword & Shield Era of the Trading Card Game.
Pokémon Secret Club accessories
A website called the Pokémon Secret Club (Japanese: ポケモンひみつクラブ) was launched on July 12, 2019 to promote the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield. To register as a member, people were required to provide a serial code that could be obtained by pre-ordering a copy of one or both of the games. Participating retailers gave away serial code cards with an in-store pre-order, whereas digital pre-orders at participating sites sent the serial codes via email. As a member, people could take part in surveys, view teasers for various aspects of the games, and view information regarding new Pokémon. New content was added to the website periodically and a number of lotteries were held that gave away exclusive prizes to winning members:[1]
- Access to an Early Trial version of Pokémon Sword and Shield, held at a location in Tokyo on September 21, 2019, in which players could challenge Nessa at Hulbury Stadium.

- A Pokémon Secret Club Design Nintendo Switch Card Case (Japanese: Nintendo Switch専用 カードケース ポケモンひみつクラブデザイン) featuring the same design as previous physical lottery prizes. Each case can hold up to 24 Nintendo Switch game cartridges. The application period for this lottery began in early October 2019 and was open until the 27th. It was limited to 2,000 members.
- One of five B2-size posters featuring the signatures of Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori. The application period for this lottery began in early November 2019 and was open until the 14th. Only one of each poster was ultimately sent to winners.
Physical items began to be shipped to winners in early November 2019 by freight collect. Exclusive serial codes also became available when member numbers met certain thresholds.

Pokénchi Presents Pokémon Card Elementary School Tournament "Ze!!" merchandise
The first competition to be held during the Sword & Shield Era was the Pokémon Card Elementary School Tournament "Ze!!", promoted by the variety show Meet Up at the Pokémon House?, colloquially known as Pokénchi. Host Abareru-kun was the face of the tournament, which was held at six ÆON Malls across Japan between December 1 and 15, 2019.[6] The tournaments were Limited format using the recently released V Starter Sets and were restricted to children in Elementary School or below. Participants in any of the regional tournaments received an Original Can Badge (Japanese: オリジナル缶バッチ) featuring Abareru-kun and the primary type symbols of the five V Starter Sets. The qualifying rounds consisted of winner stays on, with the first 16 players to reach three consecutive wins, or three wins in total, advancing to the single-elimination finals. Players advancing to the regional finals received an Original Sticker (Japanese: オリジナルステッカー) featuring the hand-drawn tournament logo. The overall winners of each regional tournament won an Original T-shirt (Japanese: オリジナルTシャツ) bearing the "Ze!!" logo and location of the event, as well as the right to participate in the tournament final. The final was held at the Pokémon Card Station at Pokémon Center Tokyo Bay on January 12, 2020 and was a single-elimination tournament using the V Starter Sets. The overall winner earned a place at the 2020 World Championships, which was delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each regional tournament also held two side events after the main tournament. The V Starter Set Battle was much the same as the main tournament; competitors achieving three wins were awarded the same sticker. Participants of the Teaching side event were awarded the same can badge. Visitors could also purchase items at pop-up stores present at each venue. Those spending at least ¥1,500 on eligible TCG products were given their choice of event-exclusive Pre-assembled Deck Cases (Japanese: 組立式デッキケース), featuring either Zacian and Zamazenta or Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.[7]

Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 1
Pokémon Card Gyms in Japan operate much like Pokémon Leagues outside Asia, in that they provide a regular opportunity for people to meet, trade, and battle. Approved Pokémon Card Gym locations are sent paraphernalia from The Pokémon Company to host meetings, including promotional card packs to distribute amongst participants in whichever way they see fit. One pack is typically given to every participant of Gym Battle events, standard tournaments open to all ages, and to every participant of New Set Battle events, age-specific tournaments that require players to use a quantity of the latest cards in their deck. More packs are usually given to the top finishers in tournaments: three for those placing first, two for those placing second, and one for those placing third. Additional packs may also be given out at other events hosted by the Pokémon Card Gym location.
The first Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack to be distributed during the Sword & Shield Era contained one out of a possible seven S-P Promotional cards, one of which was an exclusive Pokémon V. Each promotional card bears the Pokémon Card Gym logo. These packs were first given out upon the launch of the dual Sword and Shield expansion and continued to be distributed throughout December 2019, January 2020, and February 2020.

Champion's League 2020 merchandise
The second Champion's League meeting of the 2019-2020 season, and the first major event of the Sword & Shield Era open to all ages, was held on December 21, 2019 at the Aichi International Exhibition Center, nicknamed the Aichi Sky Expo, Tokoname.[16] All competitors were given their choice of Eevee or Morpeko promotional card featuring the 2020 Championship Series logo upon entry.[17] Competitors could also earn Play Points by participating in the various events at the meeting and redeem them for prizes. These events included the main Champion's League tournament, the 4-League Battle, the 3 on 3 Battle, and the V Deck Battle. Competitors could, however, only redeem Play Points once during the meeting, a rule brought into effect towards the end of the previous season. 2 Play Points could be redeemed for a set of stickers featuring focal TAG TEAMs from recent sets. At 6 Play Points, competitors could redeem the stickers and their choice of one of four promotional cards: Jirachi, Volcanion, Mewtwo, or Meowth V. At 10 Play Points, competitors could select to redeem one of nine basic Energy Mirror Holofoil promotional cards at random or opt for a Meowth VMAX promotional card, as well as their choice of previous bracket promotional card, and the stickers. At 14 Play Points, competitors could earn their choice of previous bracket promotional cards, the set of stickers, and their choice of one of seven possible promotional cards: Espeon-GX, Umbreon-GX, Necrozma-GX, Leafeon-GX, Glaceon-GX, Sylveon-GX, or Pincurchin V. All bar Pincurchin V were previously available in Champion's League meetings held during the 2018-2019 season. The top bracket of 20 Play Points would earn players their choice of promotional 14 Play Point-bracket card, a random Mirror Holofoil Energy card or Meowth VMAX card, the set of stickers, and one each of the Jirachi, Volcanion, Mewtwo, and Meowth V promotional cards.[17]
A pop-up store, referred to as the Sales Corner, was also present at the venue, offering the latest TCG products and other official Pokémon merchandise. Packs of 64 event-exclusive Damage Design Premium Matte Sleeves (Japanese: デッキシールドプレミアム・マット 「damage design」 Deck Shield Premium•Matte: "Damage Design") could be purchased here, as could a red chic leather-style Golden Magikarp Flip Deck Case (Japanese: フリップデッキケース 「金のコイキング」 Flip Deck Case: "Golden Koiking") complete with a golden-colored relief of Magikarp, which was limited to the Aichi meeting. The sleeves could be purchased for ¥890 and were limited to two per person; the deck case could be purchased for ¥3,000 and was limited to one per person.[18] People participating in any event were automatically entered into a lottery to win 1 of 50 copies of the deck case. If the number present on a participant's Play Point stamp card was drawn, they could redeem a free copy of the deck case at the Gift Exchange Corner.[17]
Junior League competitors in the main Champion's League 2020 tournament who reached the Second Stage of the qualifying round, as well as Senior, Master, and Open League competitors who placed in the top 64 following the qualification round, earned a promotional print of Pal Pad. A set of exclusive card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield) were also awarded to Junior League competitors who went beyond the qualifying round (Climax Stage), as well as Senior, Master, and Open League competitors who placed in the top 32 following the qualification round. New Victory Proof trophy cards were awarded to the top 4 players in each league category at each venue.[19]
Two more Champion's League meetings were scheduled for 2019-2020 season but were canceled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. They were due to be held at the Kyoto Pulse Plaza, Kyoto on March 21, 2020 and at Dream Messe Miyagi, Sendai on April 29, 2020. The 2020 Japan Championships, scheduled to be held on June 27 and 28, 2020, were also canceled.[20][21][22]

The second Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack was scheduled to be given away at approved locations in time with the launch of Rebellion Crash on March 6, 2020; however, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, all official events were canceled starting February 29, 2020.[20] In spite of this, it is evident that venues still received packs from The Pokémon Company ready for distribution, as their contents began appearing on auction sites following the release embargo. Events officially resumed from May 23, 2020[25] and packs were given out until July 2020. Each pack contained one out of a possible eight S-P Promotional cards, all of which feature the Pokémon Card Gym logo.

"Have Fun. Spring, Pokémon Card." campaign 2020
The "Have Fun. Spring, Pokémon Card." (Japanese: 楽しもう。春、ポケカ。 Have Fun. Spring, Pokéca.) campaign was set up by The Pokémon Company in response to organized events that had been canceled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first phase of the campaign began on April 3, 2020 and saw still-operating Pokémon Card Gym venues give away promotional Team Yell Grunt and Marnie cards with TCG purchases worth at least ¥1,500. The second phase began on April 17, 2020, at which time venues began to give away Promo Card Packs containing one of three promotional TAG TEAM Supporter cards with TCG purchases of at least ¥1,500. The third and final phase began on May 1, 2020. Customers who spent at least ¥4,500 on TCG products at participating venues were given a different Promo Card Pack that contained one of nine promotional Energy cards.[26] States of emergency were announced in a number of prefectures starting April 8, 2020 due to spikes in COVID-19 cases; some stores resumed the campaign after local lockdowns ended, while those that were able continued the campaign online.[27] All store visitors during the campaign were given a sticker featuring Mizue artwork of various Pokémon set against a backdrop of cherry blossoms. All of the cards available through the campaign were Mirror Holofoil and featured a gold foil Pokémon Card Gym stamp.

Pokémon Centers and Pokémon Stores eventually began to distribute the gifts from July 25, 2020, at which point the purchase conditions were expanded to include any TCG booster pack. Customers with receipts from earlier in the campaign could also redeem them from this date up until August 31, 2020. Customers with an eligible purchase from the Pokémon Center Online had their gifts shipped separately after the end of June 2020. The campaign ran for as long as stocks lasted.

9 Pokémon V Quiz! merchandise
The 9 Pokémon V Quiz! (Japanese: 9匹のポケモンVクイズ！) was a campaign promoting the V Starter Decks. People wishing to take part were tasked to guess the Pokémon that would adorn the packaging of each V Starter Deck. Clues were featured in various media between May 22 and June 7, 2020, including TV Tokyo shows Oha Suta and Meet Up at the Pokémon House? (Pokénchi), the Twitter account Pokémon Information Bureau (Poké Times), and YouTube channels Pokémon Card Channel and Poké-lun TV.[39]
A pre-addressed postcard could be downloaded from the Pokémon Card Game Trainers Website or the official Pokémon Twitter account, which included spaces next to each type for entrants to append their guesses. Entrants were also required to append their details and which prize they wanted to enter the draw for (A, B, C, or D). Entrants could then cut out the postcard from the form, affix a stamp, and mail it. The competition was open between June 4 and 17, 2020.[39][40] Entries postmarked after June 17 would not be accepted. Entrants could only select one prize draw to enter per postcard but could enter as many times as they liked.
Prize A, or the Oha Suta Prize, offered four winners selected by lottery the right to play a TCG game against an Oha Suta member. Prize B, or Pokénchi Prize 1, offered 99 winners a pack of 64 Abareru-kun Design Original Sleeves (Japanese: あばれる君デザイン オリジナルデッキシールド Abareru-kun Design Original Deck Shield), which feature the type symbols represented by the nine V Starter Decks and the words "Endless Battle Do or Do?" in English letterforms composed of number nines. Prize C, or Pokénchi Prize 2, offered nine winners a copy of an Abareru-kun Strengthened Darkness V Starter Deck Special Enhanced Deck (Japanese: あばれる君が強化「Vスタートデッキ 悪」スペシャル改造デッキ), a modified version of what would be revealed to be the Darkness Galarian Slowbro V Deck. This version included different cards as selected by Pokénchi host Abareru-kun, substituting one copy of Morgrem and two copies of basic Darkness Energy for one copy each of Eternatus V, Eternatus VMAX, and Hiding D Energy sourced from the Infinity Zone expansion. Unlike the retail version, the deck appeared to come enclosed in grip seal bag. Prize D, or the Pokémon Information Bureau Prize, offered 99 winners a V Starter Deck 9 Type Set (Japanese: Vスタートデッキ9種セット), which included one copy each of the nine V Starter Decks.[39][40] Winners began to receive their prizes in early August 2020.[41][42][43][44][45][46]

Champion's League 2021 merchandise
Large-scale events were able to resume in Japan for the start of the 2020-2021 season following the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first event was held in Yokohama at the Pacifico Yokohama on October 3 and 4, 2020.[49] All competitors were given a promotional Galarian Zigzagoon and one of eight promotional basic Energy cards at random upon entry.[50] Unlike previous recent meetings, no events other than the main tournament were held in effort to reduce contact between people, and no Play Point redemption scheme was offered. Championship Points were not awarded either, with invitations to the next World Championships offered to high-ranking players instead.[51]
A promotional Indeedee V card was given to players reaching certain thresholds in their respective leagues. Junior League competitors achieving at least four wins, Senior League competitors achieving at least five wins, and Master League competitors placing in the top 256 after the first qualifying round on day 1 all received this card.[50] The presence of the Championship Series 2020 logo on this card, as well as the Energy participant promos, suggests they were intended for distribution at meetings from the previous season.
The second event was scheduled to be held in Kyoto at the Kyoto Pulse Plaza on December 13, 2020,[52] but was canceled due to COVID-19 infection rates rising once again in Japan.[53] A third event was held in Aichi at the Aichi International Exhibition Center on March 28, 2021.[54] All entrants were again given a promotional copy of Galarian Zigzagoon and one of eight promotional basic Energy cards at random. A promotional Indeedee V was once again given to players who achieved a certain number of wins in their particular leagues: Junior League competitors were required to win four matches; Senior League competitors were required to win five matches; Master League competitors were required to win seven matches; and Open League competitors were required to win five matches.[55] A fourth event was added to the schedule for the season and was to be held in Niigata at Toki Messe on May 4, 2021;[56] however, this event was also later canceled due to COVID concerns.[57]
For the events that did go ahead, the top 64 players in all leagues were given a promotional print of Vitality Band. The top 32 in all leagues were also given a set of exclusive Champion's League card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield).[58] Victory Proof trophy cards were awarded to the top 4 players in each league.

Tale of the Farfetch'd Three Leek Team merchandise: Numerous TCG accessories were released as part of the Tale of the Farfetch'd Three Leek Team Pokémon Center campaign, which feature a trio consisting of a Sirfetch'd, a Kantonian Farfetch'd, and a Galarian Farfetch'd. The campaign also saw plush toys, clothing, and other decorative items become available to purchase. A short animation was created to promote the campaign, which uses a series of illustrations by HYOGONOSUKE. The animation starts off showing the Wild Duck Pokémon all training in their own way before they are challenged by an Escavalier. The Sirfetch'd is defeated and walks off into the sunset, leaving the two Farfetch'd behind. The pair resolves to train harder before facing the Escavalier again. After a tough battle, the Escavalier is vanquished and the Galarian Farfetch'd evolves into a Sirfetch'd. All of these items were initially available online from October 22, 2020 before their release in physical Pokémon Centers and Stores on October 24.

Kura Sushi Pokémon Card Game Campaign merchandise
A collaboration between the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the Japanse revolving sushi bar chain Kura Sushi began on January 8, 2021.[63] From this date, participating restaurants had their Bikkura Pon (Japanese: ビッくらポン) prize system updated to dispense Poké Ball-themed capsules containing items based on the V Starter Decks. Every five used dishes dispensed at a table would play a short video on the touch screen for that table. Multiple different videos could be played, each of which had a randomly selected fail or victory outcome. Vidoes that ended in victory would cause a Bikkura Pon to be dispensed for that table. Possible prizes included Miniature Keychains (Japanese: ミニチュアキーホルダー Miniature Key Holder) and Pukupuku Magnets (Japanese: ぷくぷくマグネット). The keychains came in nine varieties, each one with a design based on the focal Pokémon V card from the V Starter Decks. The magnets utilized the same artwork but focused only on the Pokémon, coming in five varieties: Pikachu, Mew, Lucario, Galarian Slowbro, and Eevee. Up to January 31, Bikkura Pon could also include tickets that could be redeemed for one random V Starter Deck and an exclusive Kura Sushi Original Playmat (Japanese: くら寿司オリジナルプレイマット). The V Starter Deck and playmat set was limited to 10,000 copies.[63] The other Bikkura Pon prizes were distributed for as long as stocks lasted.
Starting January 15, three A4 clear files with designs based on Venusaur V, Incineroar V, and Wailord V cards were given also away with purchases.

Successful applicants received booster boxes of Silver Lance, Jet-Black Spirit, and Eevee Heroes upon their official release dates; a maximum of two of each box could be applied for. Customers also received a set of 64 Special Sleeves (Japanese: 特別なデッキシールド Special Deck Shield) with their final shipment.

Eevee Heroes Eeveelution Set
The Eevee Heroes Eeveelution Set (Japanese: イーブイヒーローズ イーブイズセット Eievui Heroes EVs Set) was a companion product to the Eevee Heroes subset and was available from May 28, 2021. It came packaged with two Eevee Heroes booster boxes, a set of card sleeves, a deck case, and an exclusive Full Art Espeon VMAX promotional card. The box and accessories feature a Mari Inoue illustration of Eevee and its eight evolutions dotted around a picturesque settlement. Due to unprecedented demand, pre-orders for the set sold out in a short space of time after going live on the Pokémon Center Online. This prompted The Pokémon Company to apologize and allocate further pre-orders through a lottery system. The Pokémon Company also responded by limiting the sales of the set to the Pokémon Center Online and participating Pokémon Card Gym stores, specifically excluding physical Pokémon Centers and Pokémon Stores.[78][79]

Dragon King Cup 2020 Original Sleeves
The Dragon King Cup is an official Japanese event that supports the video games and the Trading Card Game. The fourth Dragon King Cup since its 2014 inception was scheduled to be held on February 6, 2021[80] but was delayed until May 29, 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions.[81] The event was livestreamed between 14:00 and 23:59 JST, during which people could participate in a Twitter campaign to win a set of Dragon King Cup 2020 Original Sleeves (Japanese: ポケモン竜王戦2020オリジナルデッキシールド Dragon King Cup 2020 Original Deck Shield). Participants were required to follow the Pokémon Information Bureau (Poké Times) Twitter account and post messages of encouragement to the tournament players with the hashtag #ポケモン竜王戦, Pokémon Dragon King Cup. One hundred people selected by lottery won a sealed pack of sleeves, which feature Eternatus drawn in a traditional ink wash style.[82] Winners began receiving their sleeves in late June 2021 enclosed with a congratulatory letter.[83][84]

Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 6
Much like the third pack in 2020, the release of the sixth Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack at participating venues was delayed as to provide sufficient time for players to take part in the previous season cycle. Official events resumed in the majority of prefectures on July 3, 2021. Packs included one of seven possible S-P Promotional cards bearing the Pokémon Card Gym logo, and were distributed at stores able to do so throughout July and August, and up to mid-September 2021. COVID-19 restrictions once again came into effect in several prefectures over the course of July and August and remained in place until September 12. A digital image of the pack on the Pokémon Card Game Trainers Website was green, but the physical packs were blue.

Pokémon Japan Championships 2021 merchandise
Much of the 2019-2020 Japanese domestic season was disrupted as a result of COVID-19 countermeasures, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the 2020 Pokémon Japan Championships. The 2020-2021 season was similarly affected; states of emergency in numerous prefectures led to the cessation of many events and frequent lockdown extensions threatened to halt its climax. The 2021 Pokémon Japan Championships were initially set to be held on June 12 and 13, 2021[86] at the Aichi International Exhibition Center, Tokoname but were postponed until July 17 and 18.[87] Top finishers from the two 2021 Champion's League meetings that went ahead were given preferential entry, as were players who had accumulated a sufficient number of Championship Points (CSP) up to May 21, 2021. Others wishing to participate were required to apply through the Pokémon Card Game Players Club between June 18 and 25 and places were selected through lottery. Participants from the 2021 Champion's League meetings had an increased chance of being drawn. Results of the lottery were announced on July 2.[88]
As with other large-scale events held prior during the pandemic, spectators were not permitted and no side events or merchandise stalls were present. Other than players and staff, the only people permitted entry were the parents or guardians of younger competitors.[89] All entrants qualified for a promotional Galarian Zigzagoon and one of eight random promotional basic Energy cards. Junior League competitors who achieved at least four wins during the tournament were also given a promotional Indeedee V card, as were Senior League and Master League competitors who achieved at least five wins. More prizes were awarded to top finishers of the tournament—the top 64 players across all age divisions were given a promotional print of Vitality Band; the top 64 Master League players were also given an Original Cap & T-shirt (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド) bearing the Championships' key visual. The top 32 players across all age divisions were given a set of Champion's League card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield); the top 32 Junior League and Senior League players were also given the Original Cap & T-shirt. The champion, runner-up, and two third-place finishers in each division were awarded a Pokémon Japan Championships 2021 trophy and earned an invitation to the subsequent World Championships, which were eventually held in London in 2022.[90]

Pokémon Card Puzzle Eevee Flip Deck Case
A website launched alongside the Japanese release of Eevee Heroes on May 28, 2021 in conjunction with a Pokémon Card Puzzle campaign. The website offered an array of puzzles for people to solve, some of which utilized cards from the Eevee Heroes subset.[91] Puzzles were separated into various stages of difficulty; all users started at the first stage and could progress to the second by solving one of the available puzzles. Users could then progress through four more stages to reach the final stage. If they managed to clear the final stage, users were presented with a splash screen that invited them to enter a draw to win one of 100 Pokémon Card Puzzle Eevee Flip Deck Cases (Japanese: フリップデッキケース ナゾトキポケカ イーブイ Flip Deck Case: Nazotoki Pokéca Eievui). Following the official Pokémon Twitter account and Tweeting the link on the splash screen would enter users into the competition, which was open between May 28 and June 17, 2021.[92] Winners began to receive their deck cases in late July 2021.[93][94] Each case is made of a leatherette material and has a flip lid secured with magnets. The design features Eevee, various Energy symbols, and the Pokémon Card Puzzle campaign logo.

All orders were entered into a lottery and results were sent out by email starting June 30 (for PUBLIC TOKYO customers) or starting July 9 (for Pokémon Center Online customers).[95]
In addition to the three main T-shirt designs, customizable T-shirts were also available as part of a limited campaign. Customers could select one of seven designs, featuring either Pikachu, Charizard, the two together, or Energy symbols; one of two types of shirt; either a black-on-white or white-on-black design; and choose the position of the design on the shirt.

Pokémon Stamp Box
As part of a collaboration between the Pokémon Company and the Japan Post Service, a series of Pokémon-themed stamp collections were announced on May 7, 2021. Two sheets of greeting stamps were issued first: one included ten ¥63 stamps featuring TCG cards from the Sun & Moon and Sword & Shield Eras and had a production run of 1 million; another included ten ¥84 stamps featuring Pokémon in different seasons and had a production run of 2.5 million. The sheets were released on July 7, 2021 and could be purchased from participating post offices, the Japan Post Service website, or by mail order.[98]
The next collection was the Pokémon Stamp Box (Japanese: ポケモン切手BOX～ポケモンカードゲーム 見返り美人・月に雁セット～ Pokémon Stamp Box ~Pokémon Card Game Beauty Looking Back•Wild Geese Flying under the Full Moon Set~), which included another set of commemorative stamps featuring select Sword & Shield Era TCG cards, Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise from the original Expansion Pack, and homages to classic Japanese artworks with a Pokémon twist. It also came with two Full Art S-P Promotional cards depicting these homages and a copy of the Family Pokémon Card Game Anytime, Anywhere set. Pre-orders for the Pokémon Stamp Box could be made through the Japan Post Service website from July 26, 2021.[98] The initial production run for the box was 80,000 with a distribution plan of online fulfilment from the Japan Post Service website and over-the-counter transactions at participating post office branches starting August 25, 2021.[98] This was later revised to allocate staggered purchase slots by lottery and to increase the production run to 100,000 following pre-order demand.[99]
Three lotteries could be applied for following the change. The first was open between July 26 and August 8, 2021 and offered a chance to purchase the box at the 2021 Japan World Stamp Championship Exhibition, held at the Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama between August 25 and 30. Applicants were required to send a postcard with their details to the Ginza Post Office; 150 winners were notified by mail by August 17.[100] The second lottery offered a post office purchase slot and ran from August 22 until September 10, 2021. Applicants were required to send a postcard with their details and elected branch to the Ginza Post Office.[100] The third lottery also offered a post office purchase slot and was conducted online through the Japan Post Service website between September 1 and 15, 2021. Winners of these two lotteries were notified in the mail by October 18 and purchase windows were scheduled to run from late October until mid-November. People could apply for all three lotteries but could only do so once for each draw.[100]
An additional lottery was announced after around 7,000 winners of the previous draws did not complete their purchases.[101] The application period for this draw was open between February 1 and 12, 2022 and offered a final chance to purchase the box, this time via mail order. Applicants were required send postcards with their details to the Ginza Post Office; winners were notified in early March with details of how to pay at their local branch. The payment deadline was March 18 and boxes began shipping in early April to successful payees.[102]

Junior League competitors achieving at least four wins in the qualifying round all received a copy of this card, as did Senior and Master League competitors achieving at least five wins. The Aichi event also hosted an Open League, which had no age restriction and was played using the Extra Regulation format. Open League competitors achieving at least five wins were also awarded this card.[116][117][118][119] The Victini V card awarded at the Kyoto tournament was printed with the attacks of a different Victini V in error. As a result, no Victini V cards were distributed at the Fukuoka tournament. The error was officially acknowledged in an apology statement uploaded to the official Japanese Pokémon Card website on December 17, 2021. The statement also announced that the error print would be immediately banned across all formats and that eligible players from both the Kyoto and Fukuoka tournaments would have a corrected version mailed to their registered Players Club address.[120] The correct version was given out at subsequent meetings.
The Master League tournaments at the Aichi and Yokohama meetings were livestreamed on video platforms Niconico and YouTube, during which prizes could be won through Twitter campaigns. People wishing to enter either competition were required to follow the Twitter accounts of Ponyta Ishii, Raichu Umekawa, and Nanapple, all of whom appeared as hosts on the official Pokémon Card Channel, and Tweet messages of support. Those doing so during the March 27 broadcast of the Aichi Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2022愛知, Pokéca CL2022 Aichi, as well as during the May 8 broadcast of the Yokohama Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2022横浜, Pokéca CL2022 Yokohama, were entered into prize lotteries. Twenty winners were selected from each draw, each of which received a copy of the Yamper participant promo and one random Energy participant promo.[121][122]
The top 64 players in all leagues were given a promotional print of Escape Rope. The top 32 players in all leagues were also given a set of Champion's League exclusive card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield).[123] Victory Proof trophy cards were awarded to the top four players in each league at each event.

Start Deck 100 Chance Battle! merchandise
Another event to utilize the Start Deck 100 was the Start Deck 100 Chance Battle! (Japanese: スタートデッキ100 でたとこバトル！), which took place at Pokémon Card Gym venues across Japan between January 15 and February 27, 2022. Participants were required to purchase a Start Deck 100 at a venue and use it throughout the tournament without any modification. Each tournament featured a five-round Swiss qualification, followed by a top four single-elimination final. All participants were given an Ultra Ball promotional card and a trading card-sized Special Sticker (Japanese: 特製ステッカー) bearing the Start Deck 100 logo. The top two finishers were also given foil Special Stickers featuring their placing.[131]
A total of 100 events were played during this period and the winners of each tournament qualified to compete in a championship tournament held at the TOC Building, Shinagawa City, Tokyo on March 20, 2022. This event featured a six-round Swiss qualification, followed by a top eight single-elimination final. Competitors were each given a Start Deck 100 to use throughout. All participants of the championship tournament were given a Paper Playmat (Japanese: 紙製プレイマット) bearing colored Pokémon silhouettes and the Start Deck 100 logo. The top four finishers were given a similarly designed Special Rubber Playmat (Japanese: 特製ラバープレイマット), while the overall winner was awarded all one hundred standard copies of the Start Deck 100. A Viewer Present Campaign was also held in the run-up to the event's climax. People wishing to participate were required to predict the deck number used by the overall winner using a Google Forms survey. Entries were accepted from March 10 up to the start of the single-elimination finals.

Pokémon Battle Festival Asia 2021 merchandise
Bulbagarden has a news article related to this subject:
Following the localization of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in several Asian countries, the Pokémon Asia Top League Kyoto 2020 was the first event scheduled to bring together leading players from Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong; however, it was canceled due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.[133] A similar event was later held between November 2021 and February 2022—the Pokémon Battle Festival Asia 2021. This event incorporated online tournaments for the TCG, video games, and Pokémon GO; online exhibition matches featuring influencers and special guests for the TCG, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon UNITE; plus a variety of streamed content and competitions.[134]
The TCG tournament featured players from nine countries: Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. Each country was represented by a team of three players and teams would go up against others in best-of-five playoffs. Team members were determined by results of events held prior to the tournament; those from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong were selected from Master League regional winners, while those from other countries played qualifiers to establish the top three representatives. These qualifiers were held on the following dates:
- Indonesia: November 27 to December 19, 2021 with a final on January 9, 2022
- Malaysia: January 7 to 9, 2022 (online)
- Singapore: January 7 to 9, 2022 (online)
- Thailand: January 14 to 16, 2022 (online)
- Philippines: January 14 to 16, 2022 (online)[135]
All players that took part in the playoffs were given a set of Pokémon Battle Festival Asia Original Design Deck Sleeves (Japanese: Pokémon Battle Festival Asia オリジナルデッキシールド Pokémon Battle Festival Asia Original Deck Shield) featuring a Noriaki Tanimura illustration of Arceus. Matches were conducted online over two days on January 29 and 30, 2022 and were played using a specific format that exclusively used cards with regulation marks 'C', 'D', and 'E' (although several were banned[136]). Players in the top three teams following the playoffs were each given a Pokémon Battle Festival Asia Original Design Playmat (Japanese: Pokémon Battle Festival Asia オリジナルラバープレイマット Pokémon Battle Festival Asia Original Rubber Playmat) featuring the same artwork as the sleeves and a trophy featuring their final standing.[135]

Pokémon Coin Album
In the build-up to the release of the 25th Anniversary Collection, a campaign named the Great Coin Election 25 (Japanese: コイン大選挙25) was launched in which people could vote for their favorite coin from a selection of 25 different designs released over the course of the TCG's history. The campaign was open between September 24 and October 8, 2021. During this period, people could select their preferred design using the Twitter links on the campaign webpage or include a hashtag for a specific design in a Tweet. People could vote as often as they liked, but continuous Tweets including the same content would not be counted. Retweets, conversely, were counted. The designs that were up for vote are listed below, along with their year of initial release:[140]
The five most popular designs were announced on October 22, 2021 in tandem with the release of the 25th Anniversary Collection. The original Chansey design placed first in the poll, followed by Eevee, Gardevoir, Umbreon and Darkrai, and finally Mew.[141] The five designs were re-issued as gold-colored Mirror Holofoil coins and included in a Pokémon Coin Album (Japanese: ポケモンコインアルバム) that could be purchased from Pokémon Centers and the Pokémon Center Online starting February 4, 2022.[142] The album features a foam interior with spaces to insert up to 18 regular-sized Japanese coins.

COOL×METAL accessories
The COOL×METAL Pokémon Center merchandise line was launched in May 2022 and featured Steel-type Pokémon Lucario, Aegislash, Scizor, Metagross, and Mawile across its array of products. The line comprised metal figures, clothing, silver jewellery manufactured by JAM HOME MADE, a notebook and backpack manufactured by Moleskine, an assortment of TCG accessories, and various other everyday items. Many of the products utilized the line's key visual, which was created by NC Empire and depict the Pokémon unleashing their moves. Items could be purchased from the Pokémon Center Online starting May 26 and were available in physical Pokémon Centers from May 28; the majority could also be pre-ordered from the Amazon Pokémon Store starting May 28 with sales beginning on June 4.

"P-Lab." Project merchandise
Various TCG-inspired items were the subject of a collaborative campaign between the Pokémon Card Game, the Japanese fashion brand Graniph, and Japanese content creator Hajime Syacho. Syacho had input in several aspects of the collaboration, including the focal Pokémon—Pichu—and its name—"P-Lab."[148] The key visual for the campaign was a representation of a Mischievous Pichu card featuring artwork by Akira Komayama and English text. This was the main facet of the Mischievous Pichu (P-Lab.) Collaboration T-shirt (Japanese: いたずら好きのピチュー(P-Lab.) コラボTシャツ), the Mischievous Pichu (P-Lab.) Collaboration Tote Bag (Japanese: いたずら好きのピチュー(P-Lab.) コラボトートバッグ), and Mischievous Pichu (P-Lab.) Collaboration Mug (Japanese: いたずら好きのピチュー(P-Lab.) コラボマグカップ). The T-shirts and mugs were available in black or white.
The Type Pattern (P-Lab.) Collaboration T-shirt (Japanese: タイプ パターン(P-Lab.) コラボTシャツ) features various Energy symbols and two pockets, each deep enough to hold a 60-card deck. The pocket insides feature damage counter and status marker patches, as well as a Japanese Mischievous Pichu card patch. The Pokémon Card Pattern (P-Lab.) Collaboration T-shirt (Japanese: ポケモンカード パターン(P-Lab.) コラボTシャツ) and Pichu & Pokémon Card (P-Lab.) Collaboration Short-Sleeve Shirt (Japanese: ピチュー＆ポケモンカード(P-Lab.) コラボ半袖シャツ) both feature a pattern consisting of TCG card reverse designs and Pichu silhouettes, as well as a Japanese Mischievous Pichu card patch stitched on their inside. The short-sleeve shirt also features an embroidered Pichu and green slime protruding from the chest pocket, both derived from the Mischievous Pichu card illustration. All T-shirts were available in adult or children's sizes. Other items of apparel included Pichu & Type Pattern (P-Lab.) Collaboration Graphic High-top Sneakers (Japanese: ピチュー＆タイプ パターン(P-Lab.) コラボグラフィックハイカットスニーカー) and a Pichu Face (P-Lab.) Collaboration Reversible Bucket Hat (Japanese: ピチュー フェイス(P-Lab.) コラボリバーシブルバケットハット). The sneakers feature Energy symbols, Poké Balls, splotches of green slime, and Pichu's face; the hat has two interchangeable designs—one featuring Pichu's face, the other featuring Energy symbols, Poké Balls, and splotches of green slime.
All items could be pre-ordered from the Graniph online store from May 25, 2022 and were subsequently available to purchase online and from domestic stores from May 31. Some items were also sold at Pokémon Centers and on the Pokémon Center Online. Customers who purchased at least one "P-Lab." item from Graniph stores (in-store or online) or who made an eligible purchase from participating Pokémon Centers, Pokémon Stores, or the Pokémon Center Online were given a physical Mischievous Pichu promotional card with Japanese text.[149] These were limited to one per person and were distributed for as long as stocks lasted. This promotion marked the first release of a Pichu card since the SoulSilver Collection in 2009.

Pokémon Battle Master Decisive Battle merchandise
The Pokémon Battle Master Decisive Battle (Japanese: ポケモンバトルマスター決定戦) was a tournament that pitted strong players of both the Pokémon video games and the Pokémon Trading Card Game against one another. People aspiring to take part in the tournament were required to accumulate Pokémon Battle Master Points, which could be earned by taking part in events across the two disciplines. For the video games, an online Pokémon Battle Master Final Qualifier was held between June 24 and 27, 2022;[155] Pokémon Battle Master Points were weighted based on the finishing positions of participants. For the TCG, Pokémon Battle Master Points were weighted based on the Championship Points players had accrued by playing at City Leagues and Trainer's Leagues between April and June 2022.[156] Players could apply for entry into the tournament between July 1 and 11, 2022; those with the top 32 Pokémon Battle Master Point totals qualified. The tournament took place on July 31, 2022 at Warehouse TERRADA G3-6F, Shinagawa City, Tokyo.[156] Five rounds of Swiss were played for each of the two disciplines, with the top two players following the last round advancing to a knockout final. Everyone that applied to enter the tournament was sent a 2-player Special Playmat (Japanese: 特製プレイマット) made of paper that featured layouts to use for video game and TCG matches. The 32 players that took part in the tournament were all given an Original Design Uniform (Japanese: オリジナルデザインのユニフォーム) featuring the event logo. The overall winner was given an Original Design Belt (Japanese: オリジナルデザインのベルト), a replica of the Choice Belt Pokémon Tool card.[156]

Champion's League 2023 merchandise
The first major event of the 2022-2023 season was the 2023 Yokohama Champion's League, which was held at the Pacifico Yokohama over two days on September 17 and 18, 2022.[163] COVID-19 protocols were still in place, which limited attendance at each season's meeting to players, staff, and the parents/guardians of younger players. People wishing to take part in the Yokohama event were required to register their interest between September 1 and 5, 2022 and places were allocated by lottery on September 7.[164] The second event of the season was the 2023 Kyoto Champion's League, which was held at the Kyoto Pulse Plaza on December 10 and 11, 2022.[165] People wishing to partake in this event were required to register their interest between November 11 and 18, 2022 and places were allocated by lottery on November 24.[166]
Every competitor at each event was given a pair of promotional cards for attending an event: a Line Holofoil Hisuian Voltorb and one of eight basic Energy cards selected at random. All of these cards feature a Championship Series 2023 stamp. A promotional Hisuian Typhlosion V card was also given to players that won a predefined number of matches in a tournament. For those competing in the Junior League, this target was four wins, whereas those competing in the Senior and Master Leagues required five wins.[167][168] The 2023 Kyoto Champion's League was also the first to hold a side event since the 2019-2020 season. The only side event was the 4-League Battle and was only open to those competing in the main tournament. 4-League Battle tournaments held on December 10 were open to Master League competitors, while those held on December 11 were open to Master League competitors who had advanced from the qualifying round, as well as Junior League and Senior League competitors. All participants were given one random Energy participant promo.[169]
The Master League tournaments at each meeting were livestreamed on video platforms Niconico and YouTube, during which prizes could be won through Twitter campaigns. People wishing to enter either competition were required to follow the Twitter accounts of the official Pokémon Card Channel and its presenters Raichu Umekawa, Nanapple, Kucheat Takeuchi, and Yopifoot, and tweet messages of support. Those doing so during the broadcast of the Yokohama Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023横浜, Pokéca CL2023 Yokohama, as well as the broadcast of the Kyoto Master League tournament with the hashtag #ポケカCL2023京都, Pokéca CL2023 Kyoto, were entered into prize lotteries. Twenty winners were selected from each draw, each of which received a copy of the Hisuian Voltorb participant promo and one random Energy participant promo.[170][171]
The top 64 players in all leagues were given a promotional print of Energy Loto. The top 32 players in all leagues were also given a set of card sleeves (Japanese: オリジナルデッキシールド Original Deck Shield) featuring a stylized Champion's League emblem.[172] Victory Proof trophy cards were awarded to the top four players in each league at each event.
Subsequent Champion's League meetings of the 2022-2023 season were held during the Scarlet & Violet Era, which allowed competitors to use cards from Generation IX products for the first time.
