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. A Secret Shiny Necrozma code was revealed at 55,555 members; a Secret Shiny Krabby code was revealed at 100,000 members; and a Secret Club Casual Tee code was revealed at 150,000 members.

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.
