SWSH Black Star Promos Card List

SWSH Black Star Promos overview

SWSH Black Star Promos is the promotional run for the Sword & Shield era in the English-language Pokémon TCG, released on November 15, 2019 under the code SWSH. Its headline cards are the Special Delivery trio of Bidoof, Pikachu and Charizard, alongside Champions Festival and a Gengar. The promo collection counts 307 official cards, with 305 catalog printings, and it leans on Lightning, Psychic, Water and Colorless Pokémon. Several names appear many times across the run, including Morpeko V-UNION, Eevee and Pikachu V, because the same Pokémon turns up in different promotional releases.

SWSH Black Star Promos chase cards and rarities

SWSH Black Star Promos has almost no rarity ladder: 303 of its cards carry the Promo rarity, with a single Rare and a single Ultra Rare, which is the only chase-tier card in the set. The most valuable cards are all Promo-rarity pieces, led by Special Delivery Bidoof, then Special Delivery Pikachu, Champions Festival and Special Delivery Charizard. The Special Delivery cards credit the Pokémon Company Art Team as illustrator. The top five cards hold 40 percent of the set's total card value, so value is spread more evenly than in a typical booster set, though the leading Special Delivery cards still set the pace.
