SM Black Star Promos is a promotional run in the English-language Pokémon TCG's Sun & Moon era, released on February 3, 2017 under the set code SMP. It collects 248 cards, all of them promos, rather than a standard booster-style expansion. What defines it is repetition: Pikachu appears 11 times, Ash's Pikachu 7 times, Eevee GX 5 times, and Champions Festival and Charizard GX 3 times each. The headline cards are the Champions Festival promos and Mewtwo & Mew GX, and the set leans on Lightning, Psychic, Fire and Colorless Pokémon.
The SM Black Star Promos card list has no rarity ladder to climb, since every one of the 248 cards carries the same Promo rarity and nothing sits above the printed count. Value is set by the card itself. The most valuable cards are Champions Festival, illustrated by Naoki Saito, followed by Mewtwo & Mew GX by sui and Armored Mewtwo credited to 2019 Pikachu Project. Two more Champions Festival printings take the 4th and 5th spots. The top five cards hold 23 percent of the set's total card value, so the worth is spread more evenly than in most chase-driven releases.

As of October 2026, SM Black Star Promos holds the highest total card value of the 4 comparable Sun & Moon sets, about 27.8 times the era median, and ranks 3rd across the whole game. Its Champions Festival is the era's most valuable single card, and the set also leads its era in trading activity. At 248 printed cards it is far larger than the era median of 12. It followed McDonald's Collection 2016, which holds less total value, and came before McDonald's Collection 2017, which also holds less. Its cards first appeared in the Japanese SM-P: Sun & Moon Promos, released November 1, 2016, which shares 123 cards with it.

Finishing the SM Black Star Promos card list means tracking down 248 printings, and all 248 are priced. Because the top five cards carry 23 percent of total value, the cost of a complete run is less tied to a few pulls than in a typical expansion, though the three Champions Festival printings still pull the total upward. The promos came out in many separate releases rather than one product, which makes this a long hunt through scattered issues. Beyond the Champions Festival cards, Mewtwo & Mew GX and Armored Mewtwo are the other big-ticket entries to plan around.
