 Throughout their occupation of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], [[Wizards of the Coast]] produced many exclusive cards for promotional events such as tournaments, special events or through Pokémon-related merchandise. These all had a black star with the word "PROMO" written across it where the expansion symbol would normally occur, giving them their name as '''Black Star Promos'''.
-Promotional cards are typically rarer than cards found in Expansion sets and some Promotional cards are rarer than others, depending on what promotion they were released through. The majority of Wizards' Promotional cards are part of a numbered collection, the rest are exact reprints of cards from Expansion sets with a special stamp or miscellaneous cards available though certain events.
-In the lists below, each of the cards are designated "--", as they all have "Promotional rarity". In the cases of holographic or reverse-holographic cards, they are indicated in brackets.

-*Wizards produced a total of 53 numbered Promotional cards before they lost their license. Had they kept their rights to produce the cards longer, it is likely more Promotional cards would have been produced, as the *{{TCG|Vending Machine cards}} were a collection Wizards certainly planned to bring into English. Most of these cards were speculated to have been released in *{{TCG|Jamboree}} with the remainder as Promotional cards, but it was not to be.

 *Some Vending Machine cards did make an appearance in English. Pikachu (#27), Machamp (#43), Magmar (#44), Scyther (#45), Electabuzz (#46), Articuno (#48) and Snorlax (#49) were all translated.
 *All of the Promotional cards have featured as either Japanese Promotional cards or in a special Japanese set. The only exception is Mew (#8 and #9), which appeared in the Japanese *{{TCG|Fossil}} Expansion.
