Here is a list of all English SM Promos thus far.
Here a list of all Japanese SM-P Promos thus far.

Here a Korean exclusive SM-P Promo I personally kinda like:

And although I don’t like the artwork of The Masked Royal as much when I compare it to some of the other amazing Full Art Supporters, it’s one of the cards I really want right now (together with all Pikachus, Sevipers, Mimikyus, and sealed Moltres I’m still missing for my other collections of course), because it’s the only Full Art Supporter I don’t have (incoming) yet due to it’s huge price tag. :sob:

ok I NEED that Korean promo! Where are they for sale?!

In South Korea. :wink: They came with the New Nintendo 3DS XL (Solgaleo and Lunala) in South Korea, that was released in 2017. I personally bought mine thanks to a Korean middleman, but unfortunately that same middleman doesn’t respond to my messages anymore, so I have to find someone else who lives in South Korea who could help me with the latest Sun & Moon released promos. I’m still missing one of the Ash’ Pikachu promos as well as one of the Boss Pikachu promos in Korean (although I do have all the others). I’m also still missing the Korean Burning Shadows 069/SM-P promo that was recently released…

So if you find a Korean middleman, let me know, because I could use one myself right now… :slightly_frowning_face:

I really like this Pikachu, but I believe it’s a reprint from another era.

It is from the Sun & Moon era, but you’re right that it is a reprint. It was first released as non-Holo (14/30 and 29/30) as part of the Alolan Raichu Half Deck. Only after that came this SM86 Promo, and after that the SM86 Fruit Roll Promo with different holo pattern.

where did the middleman purchase from? is there a Korean equivalent of ebay?

I have no idea how he got them. He lives in South Korea, so he probably knows some local webshops. I think he bought them through some Korean social media, similar to Facebook.

There’s definitely a ton of SM promos. Lots of Pikachus.

Here’s probably my favourite of the Pikachus:

I like the poncho eevees too. They seem to be really popular given how quickly the full set doubled in price.

This (SM 224) one that came out this year. I just got my first order delivered from Japan and I am in awe. It’s honestly rare that I am taken aback by a card’s artwork when I see it in person for the first time, but this one really caught my eye and it is just gorgeous the way it glistens:

I actually prefer this list because it includes images and a little bit of explanations on how they were distributed lol.

What’s crazy to me is that even though I haven’t loved every single Sun/Moon set the Japanese promos have been on point.

These are the next two i’m looking foward to their release.

The sm Japanese promos are killing it! For anyone feeling disengaged from modern because of set saturation, the Modern Japanese promos are your solution.

Definitely the poncho eevees lol. I just wish the foil they use for the new promos wasn’t so susceptible to print lines.

Here is a site that has alot of the images of the promos;

For me yeah, i agree the latest artworks and sets are really awesome. especially the trainer art… omg…
