Pokémon TCG Pocket Promo Cards — (Image credit: The Pokémon Company)

Promo Cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket are special card variants that are hard to find or are available only for a limited time. They typically function the same way as their standard counterparts—meaning, for instance, a promotional Pikachu has the same battle effect as a regular Pikachu—but they feature distinct artwork and designs. Many fans consider them to hold a certain level of prestige.

Some cards make their debut as Promo Cards; for example, Lapras Ex was introduced during the special Lapras Ex event before being added to regular sets later on. However, it’s currently exclusive to those who participated in the event.

Generally, Promo Cards are marked with a stamp on the right side of the image, as shown in the picture of Mankey above. While not every Promo Card will have this stamp, all stamped cards are indeed promotional.
