Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo Cards for the Promo-A set appear to have all been released, with 33 different cards and variants for players to earn, from the new Pokedex to Moltres ex and more besides. Many of the promo cards in Pokemon TCGP have gone out of circulation, tied to limited-time events that have now expired, but some are still accessible at time of writing.

If you want to know all the different promo cards in the Pokemon TCG Pocket Promo-A expansion, we've laid them all out here, as well as an explanation of what promo cards and how you can get them.

Every Promo Card in Pokemon TCG Pocket is listed below, as well as how to get them for your collection. These promo cards are also each numbered in-game for ease of categorisation, and are labelled as part of the "Promo-A" set (with later sets presumably listed as "Promo-B" and so on). While initially it was thought that there would only be 25 Promo Cards, those numbers have significantly expanded.

Rare cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Promo Cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket are special card variants that are difficult to obtain or limited in time and access. They don't generally do anything different to the standard version of the card - a promotional Pikachu and a regular Pikachu have the same effect in battle - but they have a different appearance, artwork, and depending on who you talk to, a certain amount of prestige.

Some cards may also debut first as Promo Cards - for example, Lapras Ex wasn't a part of Pokemon TCGP until the titular Lapras Ex event. It's possible that the card will enter circulation properly in later sets and expansions, but for now it's only for those who could beat the event itself.

Promo Cards are also generally (but not always) marked by a stamp of some sort on the right side of the image, as seen on the picture of Mankey above. Not every Promo Card has this, but stamped cards are always promotional cards.
