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.[7] 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.

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.[8]

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.
Pokémon Centers, participating Pokémon Card Gym venues, and Pokémon Card Stations across Japan held Pokémon Card Day (Japanese: ポケカの日 Pokéca Day) events on set Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout December 2019, January 2020, and February 2020, starting with December 6, 2019—the official release day of the Sword and Shield expansions. Winners of rock paper scissors competitions held during these events were awarded a single-player Zacian Original Rubber Playmat (Japanese: ザシアン オリジナルラバープレイマット).[13] The February events added another playmat featuring Zamazenta to the prize pool; winners were randomly given a Zacian or Zamazenta playmat.

Following the launch of the dual Sword and Shield expansion, Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. released a new wave of their gummy candies in December 2019.[14] This was the first dual expansion to have just one gummy product associated with it, therefore the pool of cards available were sourced from both sets. Each pack of Pokémon Card Game Sword & Shield Gummy: Sword & Shield (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム ソード&シールド グミ 「ソード」「シールド」) contained one of 22 possible cards (11 from Sword and 11 from Shield) and two grape-flavored sweets.

Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 2
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.[25] 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[35] 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.
A pair of standard decks was made available from March 27, 2020, the first of which was the Charizard VMAX Starter Set (Japanese: スターターセットVMAX リザードンStarter Set VMAX: Lizardon). Charizard is featured as both a Pokémon V and as a Pokémon VMAX in its Gigantamax form together with other Fire and Fighting-type Pokémon. Each deck also includes a number of Trainer cards from both the Sun & Moon and Sword & Shield Eras, supporting Energy cards, and essential accessories.
The Grimmsnarl VMAX Starter Set (Japanese: スターターセットVMAX オーロンゲStarter Set VMAX: Ohlonge) was the second of two Gigantamax-themed decks released on March 27, 2020. The deck focuses predominantly on Darkness-type Pokémon, including Grimmsnarl as a Pokémon V and a Pokémon VMAX. The deck is complete with useful Item and Supporter cards plus quantities of Darkness Energy cards. The deck also includes damage counters, status markers, a player's guide, plus a unique playmat and coin.

Packs contained one random card and were given out at events until mid-September 2020.

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.[72]
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.[72][73] 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.[72][73] Winners began to receive their prizes in early August 2020.[74][75][76][77][78][79]

PikaPika! Pikachu! Promo Card Campaign!
To celebrate the launch of the Amazing Volt Tackle expansion, participating stores across Japan ran the PikaPika! Pikachu! Promo Card Campaign! (Japanese: ピカピカ!ピカチュウ!プロモカードキャンペーン!). For every six Amazing Volt Tackle booster packs purchased in one transaction, customers would receive a special Promo Card Pack containing one of five PikachuS-P Promotional cards featuring the campaign logo. Customers would similarly receive five Promo Card Packs for every Amazing Volt Tackle booster box purchased.[88] The campaign began on September 18, 2020 and ran for as long as stocks lasted.
The fourth Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack of the Sword & Shield Era began to be given away at participating Pokémon Card Gym locations with the launch of the Amazing Volt Tackle expansion on September 18, 2020. Packs contained one out of a possible eight S-P Promotional cards, all of which were either new or reprints of cards from the expansion with different artwork. Each card also features the Pokémon Card Gym logo. Stock permitting, packs continued to be given away at events throughout October, November, and December 2020.
Gummy sweets associated with the Amazing Volt Tackle expansion were officially sold from September 2020.[89] Each pack of Pokémon Card Game Sword & Shield Gummy: Amazing Volt Tackle (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム スカーレット&バイオレット グミ 仰天のボルテッカー) included two grape-flavored gummies and one of 23 possible cards from the expansion.
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.[90] All competitors were given a promotional Galarian Zigzagoon and one of eight promotional basic Energy cards at random upon entry.[91] 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.[92]
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.[91] 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,[93] but was canceled due to COVID-19 infection rates rising once again in Japan.[94] A third event was held in Aichi at the Aichi International Exhibition Center on March 28, 2021.[95] 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.[96] 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;[97] however, this event was also later canceled due to COVID concerns.[98]
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).[99]Victory Proof trophy cards were awarded to the top 4 players in each league.
A set of three collection file index sheets (Japanese: インデックスシート), or binder dividers, was released as part of a promotion for the Shiny Star V subset. Starting October 4, 2020, Pokémon Center Online customers could begin preordering Shiny Star V products; those ordering at least ten Shiny Star V booster packs or one Shiny Star V booster box would receive a set of the three index sheets upon the subset's launch. From November 20, 2020, customers at physical Pokémon Centers and Pokémon Stores who purchased at least ¥3,000 worth of eligible TCG merchandise would also receive a set of the three index sheets. Ineligible products included the Rebellion Crash and Infinity Zone Pokémon Center Limited Sets, the Legendary Heartbeat Pokémon Card Gym Set, the Amazing Volt Tackle Pokémon Center & Pokémon Store Set, the Nessa Shiny Star V Set, and the threeTrainer CardCollection sets. Customers were limited to two sets for each sale method.[100] The index sheets were double-sided and utilized artwork from previous products.

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.[101] 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.[108] 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, GalarianSlowbro, 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.[108] 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. People who spent at least ¥2,000 plus tax at participating restaurants were given one file; people who spent at least ¥6,000 plus tax were given all three designs. In total, 150,000 copies of the files were distributed on a first come, first served basis.[108] A Twitter campaign also started on January 15, in which five winners selected by lottery would win a set of all nine V Starter Decks and a copy of the Kura Sushi Original Playmat. To enter the draw, people were required to follow the official Kura Sushi Twitter account and Retweet the announcement message. The campaign ended after January 21.[109] From January 22, clear files with Pikachu V, Mew V, and Lucario V card designs were distributed in the same way; these files were also limited to 150,000 copies.[110] The three remaining clear file designs—Galarian Slowbro V, Duraludon V, and Eevee V—were available from February 12, and were once again limited to 150,000 across participating restaurants.[111] The final phase of the campaign began on February 19, in which 150,000 copies of all nine clear file designs were distributed again in the same manner.[112]

Single Strike and Rapid Strike Start Dash Campaign
The Single Strike and Rapid Strike Start Dash Campaign (Japanese: いちげき・れんげき スタートダッシュキャンペーン) began in time with the release of the dual Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master expansion on January 22, 2021. During the first phase of the campaign, customers at participating stores across Japan who purchased a Single Strike Master booster box would receive a Promo Card Pack containing a Cinderace V and a Single Strike redemption ticket for later in the campaign. Customers similarly purchasing a Rapid Strike Master booster box would receive a Promo Card Pack containing a Rillaboom V as well as a Rapid Strike redemption ticket.[119] This phase of the campaign ran for as long as stocks lasted.
The second phase of the campaign began on March 19, 2021 with the release of the Peerless Fighters subset. Customers at participating stores could redeem their Single Strike and Rapid Strike tickets for another Promo Card Pack from this date with a qualifying purchase. The purchase was initially set to be ten Peerless Fighters booster packs, but due to expected demand for the subset, this was updated to any TCG purchase worth ¥1,650 following an announcement on March 12.[120] Promo Card Packs redeemed with a Single Strike ticket contained a Cinderace VMAX, while those redeemed with a Rapid Strike ticket contained a Rillaboom VMAX. The second phase was set to end on May 14, 2021, but this was extended to June 30 following the March 12 update.

The fifth Sword & Shield Era Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack would have been first circulated at events in time with the release of Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master on January 22, 2021; however, due to an increase in COVID-19 cases across Japan, all official events were once again canceled from January 12. Events did not resume until March 27, 2021 and packs were given out at venues able to do so for the remainder of the month as well as throughout April, May, and June. A number of prefectures later saw states of emergency declared, which affected venues in the majority of those areas until the end of May 2021. Each pack contained one random card from a pool of seven S-P Promotional cards, comprising new cards and reprints of cards from Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master with different artwork.
Participating Pokémon Card Gym venues across Japan were scheduled to hold Extra Battle Day events from January 23, 2021 following the rotation of 'B' regulation cards in the Standard format on January 22.[129] Due to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, these events were postponed following a January 12 update on the Pokémon Card Game Trainers Website.[130] Extra Battle Day events were among those to resume on March 27, 2021[131] and people wishing to take part were required to purchase at least six booster packs from stores hosting them. All participants were given a promotionalCynthia card upon entry. The events utilized the Extra Regulation format (equivalent to the Expanded format outside Japan); winners of the overall tournament and winners of rock paper scissors competitions were given an Extra Battle Day Rubber Playmat (Japanese: エクストラバトルの日 ラバープレイマット).[129] This single-player playmat features an illustration of numerous Generation I Pokémon by Naoki Saito, which was previously used on the Kanto Friends Mini Tins outside Japan.

S6 Gummy Candy
Select cards from Silver Lance and Jet-Black Spirit could be found in packs of Pokémon Card Game Sword & Shield Gummy: Silver Lance & Jet-Black Spirit (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム スカーレット&バイオレット グミ 白銀のランス&漆黒のガイスト), which were released by Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. in May 2021.[140] Packs included one of 22 cards sourced from the dual expansion and a separately packaged pair of gummy candy.
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[141] 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.[142][143]
Also complementing the Eevee Heroes subset on May 28, 2021 was the Eevee Heroes VMAX Special Set (Japanese: VMAXスペシャルセット イーブイヒーローズVMAX Special Set: Eievui Heroes). This product includes eight Eevee Heroes booster packs plus an exclusive VMAX Promo Card Pack that contains one of four possible EeveelutionPokémon VMAX cards and a set of three matching Mirror Holofoil Energy cards. The set was one of four products that experienced overwhelming demand when pre-orders went live on the Pokémon Center Online. As such, its sale was limited to the website and further orders were allocated by lottery.[142][143]
The High-Class Decks were among two new products that launched on May 28, 2021. They are similar in many respects to other 60-card pre-constructed decks but differ by comprising entirely of Holofoil cards. One of these was the Gengar VMAX High-Class Deck (Japanese: ハイクラスデッキ ゲンガーVMAXHigh-Class Deck: GangarVMAX), which among its selection of Darkness-type Pokémon, includes the Shadow Pokémon Gengar as both a Pokémon V and as a Pokémon VMAX that portrays its Gigantamax form. The titular Pokémon also support the Single Strike style mechanic, as do several of the cards in the deck.
The Inteleon VMAX High-Class Deck (Japanese: ハイクラスデッキ インテレオンVMAXHigh-Class Deck: IntereonVMAX) was the other High-Class Deck released on May 28, 2021. It focuses mostly on Water-type Pokémon and includes a number of cards that support the Rapid Strike style mechanic. The titular Pokémon Inteleon is featured on deck-exclusive Pokémon V and Pokémon VMAX cards, the latter depicting its Gigantamax form in the TCG for the first time. Each deck includes a player's guide, a sheet containing damage counters and status markers, and a coin.
The Gengar VMAX & Inteleon VMAX High-Class Deck Double Box (Japanese: ハイクラスデッキダブルBOX ゲンガーVMAX&インテレオンVMAXHigh-Class Deck Double Box: GangarVMAX & IntereonVMAX) was a deluxe product that included the two 60-card decks available separately from the same date. The box also came with the same player's guides and coins that could be found in the individual High-Class Decks, as well as a set of acrylic damage counters and status markers, an exclusive damage counter case, and two exclusive S-P Promotional cards. This product was among those that experienced overwhelming demand when pre-orders went live on the Pokémon Center Online.

A digital image of the pack on the Pokémon Card Game Trainers Website was green, but the physical packs were blue.

S7 Gummy Candy
Packs of Pokémon Card Game Sword & Shield Gummy: Skyscraping Perfection & Blue Sky Stream (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム スカーレット&バイオレット グミ 摩天パーフェクト&蒼空ストリーム) manufactured by Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. began to be released in July 2021.[154] Each pack was enclosed with a pair of gummy candies shaped like Poké Balls plus one of 22 possible cards sourced from the Skyscraping Perfection and Blue Sky Stream expansions.
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[155] at the Aichi International Exhibition Center, Tokoname but were postponed until July 17 and 18.[156] 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.[157]
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.[158] 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.[159]
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.[160] 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.[161] Winners began to receive their deck cases in late July 2021.[162][163] 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.

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 Megumi Mizutani artwork[169] of 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.[170]
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 ArtS-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.[170] 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.[170] This was later revised to allocate staggered purchase slots by lottery and to increase the production run to 100,000 following pre-order demand.[171]
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.[172] 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.[172] 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.[172]
An additional lottery was announced after around 7,000 winners of the previous draws did not complete their purchases.[173] 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 to 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.[174]
Issue 69 of Pokémon Fan magazine went on sale August 31, 2021.[175] Among the promotional items packaged with it was a V Starter Deck Storage Box (Japanese: Vスタートデッキ ストレージボックス), a flat-packed box designed to hold TCG cards. Each box featured images of the nine V Starter Decks as well as the focal Pokémon V from them.

Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 7
In normal circumstances, it is likely that participating locations would have began the distribution of the seventh Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack in time with the launch of Skyscraping Perfection and Blue Sky Stream on July 9, 2021. Due to the continued knock-on effect caused by COVID-19 countermeasures however, these packs were not officially released until mid-September. Each pack included one of seven possible S-P Promotional cards that comprised new cards and reprints from both Skyscraping Perfection and Blue Sky Stream with new artwork.
November 2021 issues of CoroCoro Ichiban! came with two promotional TCG items: an OricorioS-P Promotional card and a flat-pack 600-Card Super Storage Box (Japanese: 600枚超収納BOX). As its name suggests, the box could hold approximately 600 cards once assembled. It is decorated with images of Pokémon V-UNION cards and pack artwork from Sword & Shield Era expansions and subsets. The magazine was available to purchase from September 21, 2021.

Champion's League 2022 merchandise
The first Champion's League meeting of the 2021-2022 season was scheduled to be held in Yokohama at the Pacifico Yokohama on September 12, 2021;[183] however, it was canceled due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.[184] The next planned event went ahead and was held in Kyoto at the Kyoto Pulse Plaza on October 3, 2021.[185] As with the previous season, no events other than the main tournament were held and no spectators were able to attend due to COVID-19 precautions. Prospective players were required to register their interest between September 3 and 10, 2021 and places were allocated by lottery on September 17.[186] The second event to go ahead was held at Marine Messe Fukuoka, Fukuoka on November 3, 2021.[187] People wishing to partake in this event were required to register their interest between October 1 and 8, 2021 and places were allocated by lottery on October 15.[188] A third event was held at the Aichi International Exhibition Center, Tokoname on March 27, 2022.[189] People wishing to take part in the Aichi event were required to register their interest between February 25 and March 4, 2022 and places were allocated by lottery on March 11.[190] The Yokohama meeting was rescheduled and served as the final Champion's League meeting of the season on May 8, 2022.[191] People wishing to partake in this event were required to register their interest between April 8 and 15, 2022 and places were allocated by lottery on April 22.[192]

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.[193][194][195][196] 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.[197] The correct version was given out at subsequent meetings.

Twenty winners were selected from each draw, each of which received a copy of the Yamper participant promo and one random Energy participant promo.[198][199]

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).[200]Victory Proof trophy cards were awarded to the top four players in each league at each event.

The box was scheduled to be released on October 22, 2021 alongside other 25th Anniversary merchandise but was delayed following the decision to allocate sales via lottery and, in likely anticipation of the product's popularity, allow more time for manufacturing.[219] The application period for the lottery was open between October 4 and 10, 2021 and those successful were notified after October 27. Orders from the initial production run were shipped from mid-December 2021.[220] An additional make to order run was planned to begin in the spring of 2022 with the look to ship them by the following winter.[219]

Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 9
After playing catch-up for much of 2021 in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions, the distribution of Pokémon Card Gym prizes began to sync with the release of main expansions once more, starting with Star Birth on January 14, 2022. Each Promo Card Pack 9 contained one of seven possible S-P Promotional cards, all of which feature the Pokémon Card Gym logo. Stock permitting, packs were given away at events from January 14 up to April 7, 2022.
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.[229]
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. Correct entries were entered into a lottery, in which one winner was given all one hundred standard copies of the Start Deck 100.[229]
A new wave of gummy candy was released by Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. in January 2022 shortly after the release of the Star Birth expansion.[230] Packs of Pokémon Card Game Sword & Shield Gummy: Star Birth (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム ソード&シールド グミ スターバース) were enclosed with two grape-flavored gummies plus one of 22 possible Star Birth cards.
Numerous retailers offered early purchase bonuses upon the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus on January 28, 2022, among which included two TCG-related items. People purchasing the game through Seven Net Shopping, an online arm of 7-Eleven, would receive a pre-assembled Mini Deck Case (Japanese: ミニデッキケース) capable of storing approximately 150 cards. Each case came with a card divider and featured Arceus on the front, Pikachu, Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott on the reverse, and several other Pokémon on the sides. People who purchased a copy of the game at Bic Camera, Sofmap, or Kojima stores received an Acrylic Photo Stand (Japanese: アクリルフォトスタンド) capable of displaying a single TCG card. Much like the other display frames, this comprised two transparent acrylic panels, a set of four screws to secure them together, and two feet that enable the frame to stand. One panel features a blue fabric-like background with an image of a Hisuian Poké Ball and the Japanese Pokémon Legends: Arceus logo complete with motif.[231]

Pokémon Battle Festival Asia 2021 merchandise
Bulbanews
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.[232] 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.[233]
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
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[235]). 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.[234]

People who commented in either of the two streams were entered into a lottery to win one of 30 sets of the sleeves.[237] The Japan-South Korea playoff was similarly the only match uploaded to YouTube for Japanese viewers, which could be livestreamed from Februay 22 with Japanese presenters.

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:[240]
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.[241] 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.[242] The album features a foam interior with spaces to insert up to 18 regular-sized Japanese coins.

The events were conducted using the Extra Regulation format (equivalent to the Expanded format outside Japan); winners of the tournament and winners of rock paper scissors competitions were awarded an Extra Battle Day Rubber Playmat (Japanese: エクストラバトルの日 ラバープレイマット).[243] The playmat features a two-color image of Pikachu and Zekrom, one of the debut TAG TEAMPokémon-GX released during the final year of the Sun & Moon Era.
