What are Promo 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.
