Card count, chase cards, value and how it compares with other promotional releases.
How I Became a Pokemon Card is a Japanese Pokémon TCG promo collection that sits in the Promos & Other era rather than in a numbered expansion line. It is a small promotional run, catalogued with just 6 printings, so the whole card list fits in a single glance. What defines it is its headline names: Mankey, Sunkern and Jynx are the three cards that carry the most value in the run, and the collection is built around those few Pokémon rather than around a type theme or a deep rarity ladder.
The most valuable cards in How I Became a Pokemon Card are Mankey, Sunkern and Jynx, in that order of value. As a promotional run it has no pull ladder of commons, holo rares and secret rares to climb, so there is no chase tier sitting above a printed count. Collectors who want the most valuable cards here are really choosing between those three names, and with only 6 printings in the whole card list, each one makes up a large part of what the collection is worth.
How I Became a Pokemon Card has 6 cards.
How I Became a Pokemon Card is part of the Promos & Other era.
Hoppip, at $400.00, as of October 30, 2026.
As of October 2026, How I Became a Pokemon Card is best understood by its kind. A promo collection of 6 printings is tiny beside a full expansion of its era, which typically carries well over a hundred cards and a layered rarity structure running from commons up to secret rares. Here the card list is short, the value is spread across a handful of promotional cards, and the collection stands alone in the Promos & Other grouping instead of sitting in a numbered release with neighbours before and after it.

Completing How I Became a Pokemon Card means tracking down 6 printings, and 3 of them are priced. With so few cards, the cost of a complete run is driven by the three leading names, Mankey, Sunkern and Jynx, since those are the cards that set the value of the whole collection. The remaining printings are modest additions to a short checklist. It is a quick collection to finish compared with any full expansion, and a natural fit for collectors who like promotional oddities.
