 '''Pokémon SP''' are a type of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} found in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion. They are considered to be the successor to {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon}}, featuring Pokémon under the command of [[Pokémon Trainer]]s.
-Pokémon SP (an abbreviated form of Special Pokémon) vary depending on the theme of the expansion in which they appear. They appear in six variants — Pokémon {{SP|G}}, Pokémon {{SP|GL}}, Pokémon {{SP|4}}, Pokémon {{SP|C}}, Pokémon {{SP|FB}}, and Pokémon {{SP|M}} — which are determined based on the character depicted to own the Pokémon. All Pokémon SP are Basic Pokémon, and unlike most cards from the era, have a x2 weakness. They have a stylized "SP" logo in the bottom-left corner of the illustration box, and also include a suffix following the species' name in order to differentiate them from other Pokémon. Examples of the differentiation include:

Aesthetically, the cards have a stylized "SP" logo in the bottom-left corner of the illustration box, and lack [[Pokédex]] data, with the basic statistics below the illustration box being replaced with text specifying the group the Pokémon belongs to.
+Pokémon SP include a suffix following the species' name in order to differentiate them from other Pokémon. Examples of the differentiation include:
 * {{tcg|Probopass}} {{SP|G}} cannot evolve from {{tcg|Nosepass}}, as its name is not Probopass.
 * {{tcg|Turtwig}} {{SP|GL}} cannot evolve into {{tcg|Grotle}}, as its name is not Turtwig.
