The first items released during the Black & White Series were the '''Sneak-Peek Tins'''. Available from March 9, 2011, these tins introduced the first [[Generation V]] Pokémon to the TCG. Each tin featured one of the three [[starter Pokémon|first partner Pokémon]]—{{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}—in the form of both a promotional card and a figure. The cards were derived from the Japanese {{TCG|Journey Partners}} collection and the figures were exclusive Kaiyodo sculpts for release outside Japan. Each tin included four booster packs, ranging from the Platinum Series to the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, and a special Preview Pack containing five Common cards from the upcoming {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion: {{TCG ID|Black & White|Lillipup|81}}, {{TCG ID|Black & White|Patrat|78}}, {{TCG ID|Black & White|Purrloin|66}}, {{TCG ID|Black & White|Pidove|84}}, and {{TCG ID|Black & White|Sandile|63}}. | |||

{{TCG|Theme Deck}}s | With releases complementing nearly all prior main expansions, {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s continued to be an integral part of the localized TCG in the Back & White Series. Three Theme Decks were released on April 6, 2011 to promote the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion ahead of its launch, which collectively focused on the final [[evolution]]s of [[Unova]]'s [[starter Pokémon]]. The {{TCG|Green Tornado}} Theme Deck featured {{p|Serperior}}, the {{TCG|Red Frenzy}} Theme Deck featured {{p|Emboar}}, and the {{TCG|Blue Assault}} Theme Deck featured {{p|Samurott}}. Each deck included a paperboard sheet of damage counters and status markers, a {{TCG|coin}}, a large fold-out sheet with a playing surface for two players on one side and playing rules on the other, another sheet with a summary of new features for the Black & White Series on one side and a Black & White card checklist on the other, a deckbox, and a code card to unlock a digital version of it in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]]. | ||

Accompanying the premier expansion of the Black & White Series on April 25, 2011 was a variety of blister packs. Three Pack Blisters were available in two package designs: one consisting of the traditional thermoformed plastic glued to paperboard backing, the other consisting of a plastic clamshell with a paperboard shroud. Both designs came in three varieties, each one including one of the three [[Unova]] [[starter Pokémon|starters]] as a promotional card, three {{TCG|Black & White}} booster packs, a Black & White Sampling Pack containing three Common cards from the set, and a {{TCG|coin}} featuring the Unova starters. Two Pack Blisters contained one Black & White booster pack, one Black & White Sampling Pack, and one of four promotional cards.

Various blister packs were released in stores on May 9, 2012 to promote the {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} expansion. Continuing the pattern set by {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, blister packs distributed in North America had different contents to those distributed in other countries overseen by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. The international Three Pack Blisters came in two varieties: one with a Cracked Ice Holofoil {{p|Luxray}} promotional card, and one with a Cracked Ice Holofoil {{p|Krookodile}} promotional card. These blisters were enclosed with three Dark Explorers booster packs and a {{TCG|coin}} featuring {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} first released in the Next Destinies {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s. | |||
The North American | The North American blister packs came in four varieties: two featured {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon|Stage 2}} [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary families]], and two featured {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon|Stage 1}} evolutionary families. The Stage 2 Blisters contained Cracked Ice Holofoil versions of either the {{p|Luxray}} family or the {{p|Krookodile}} family, in addition to a coin and two Dark Explorers booster packs. The Stage 1 Blisters contained either the {{p|Persian}} family or the {{p|Lucario}} family, with the final stage as a Cosmos Holofoil variant, plus a standard Dark Explorers 10-card booster pack and a Dark Explorers 3-card Sampling Pack. These blisters provided North American audiences an opportunity to obtain the Luxio and Riolu promotional cards previously available in the international {{TCGMerch|Black & White|Series|Next Destinies Blisters}}; however, the two did not feature the Cosmos Holofoil treatment, making both releases contain exclusive cards. | ||
In North America, Dark Explorers was the last expansion to feature this style of Stage 2 Blister, with subsequent expansions returning to utilize the clamshell Three Pack Blisters used prior to the change with Next Destinies. Similar blister pack configurations would be used in {{TCGMerch|Black & White|Series|Black & White Two Pack Blister|later products}}. | |||

'''Dragon Vault Blisters''' were the only products associated with this expansion, each of which included three Dragon Vault packs, a code card for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]], and one of five possible Mirror Holofoil variant cards from Dragon Vault bearing the expansion's logo.

Following the release of Pokémon Black and White, a plethora of Pokémon Trading Card Game products was released, featuring new Pokémon from the Unova region and new card mechanics that would define the game for several years. The following is a list of the merchandise released during the Black & White Series of the Trading Card Game.
Sneak-Peek Tins
The first items released during the Black & White Series were the Sneak-Peek Tins. Available from March 9, 2011, these tins introduced the first Generation V Pokémon to the TCG. Each tin featured one of the three first partner Pokémon—Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott—in the form of both a promotional card and a figure. The cards were derived from the Japanese Journey Partners collection and the figures were exclusive Kaiyodo sculpts for release outside Japan. Each tin included four booster packs, ranging from the Platinum Series to the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, and a special Preview Pack containing five Common cards from the upcoming Black & White expansion: Lillipup, Patrat, Purrloin, Pidove, and Sandile.
Promotional cards:
- Snivy (BW Promo 01; Tinsel Holofoil)

Black & White Theme Decks
With releases complementing nearly all prior main expansions, Theme Decks continued to be an integral part of the localized TCG in the Back & White Series. Three Theme Decks were released on April 6, 2011 to promote the Black & White expansion ahead of its launch, which collectively focused on the final evolutions of Unova's starter Pokémon. The Green Tornado Theme Deck featured Serperior, the Red Frenzy Theme Deck featured Emboar, and the Blue Assault Theme Deck featured Samurott. Each deck included a paperboard sheet of damage counters and status markers, a coin, a large fold-out sheet with a playing surface for two players on one side and playing rules on the other, another sheet with a summary of new features for the Black & White Series on one side and a Black & White card checklist on the other, a deckbox, and a code card to unlock a digital version of it in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online.

Dark Explorers Blisters
Various blister packs were released in stores on May 9, 2012 to promote the Dark Explorers expansion. Continuing the pattern set by Next Destinies, blister packs distributed in North America had different contents to those distributed in other countries overseen by The Pokémon Company International. The international Three Pack Blisters came in two varieties: one with a Cracked Ice Holofoil Luxray promotional card, and one with a Cracked Ice Holofoil Krookodile promotional card. These blisters were enclosed with three Dark Explorers booster packs and a coin featuring Zekrom and Reshiram first released in the Next Destinies Theme Decks.
The North American blister packs came in four varieties: two featured Stage 2 evolutionary families, and two featured Stage 1 evolutionary families. The Stage 2 Blisters contained Cracked Ice Holofoil versions of either the Luxray family or the Krookodile family, in addition to a coin and two Dark Explorers booster packs. The Stage 1 Blisters contained either the Persian family or the Lucario family, with the final stage as a Cosmos Holofoil variant, plus a standard Dark Explorers 10-card booster pack and a Dark Explorers 3-card Sampling Pack. These blisters provided North American audiences an opportunity to obtain the Luxio and Riolu promotional cards previously available in the international Next Destinies Blisters; however, the two did not feature the Cosmos Holofoil treatment, making both releases contain exclusive cards.
In North America, Dark Explorers was the last expansion to feature this style of Stage 2 Blister, with subsequent expansions returning to utilize the clamshell Three Pack Blisters used prior to the change with Next Destinies. Similar blister pack configurations would be used in later products.

Dragons Exalted Theme Decks
DragonSnarl and DragonSpeed were the two Theme Decks released together with the Dragons Exalted expansion on August 15, 2012. Much like the equivalent Japanese expansion, the accompanying decks focused on the Brutal Pokémon Hydreigon and the Mach Pokémon Garchomp, both of which represented the Dragon type that made its localized debut in the expansion. Each deck was packaged with a sheet of damage counters and status markers, a coin, a 2-player playamt and rulesheet, a sheet with a Dragons Exalted card checklist and information on the new Dragon-type Pokémon cards, a deckbox, and a TCGO code card.
Early retailer images incorrectly featured Hydreigon and Garchomp as each deck's showcased card instead of the actual Hydreigon and Garchomp. Both were included as exclusive Cracked Ice Holofoil cards.

Emerging Challenges Box
The Emerging Challenges Box was released on September 18, 2012 and focused on earlier expansions from the Black & Whte Series. Each box was packaged with one of the four Theme Decks from the Emerging Powers and Noble Victories expansions (Power Play, Toxic Tricks, Fast Daze, or Furious Knights), a pair of booster packs—one from Black & White and another from either Emerging Powers or Noble Victories—plus Holofoil prints of the Stoutland evolutionary line. The Herdier and Stoutland cards were Parallel Holofoils sourced straight from the Black & White expansion, while the Lillipup, which features the same Parallel Holofoil treatment, was a new BW Black Star Promo.
The Lillipup promotional card originated from the Cobalion Battle Strength Deck, a deck released in Japan 19 months earlier. The other Pokémon cards from the deck were localized in the Emerging Powers expansion 13 months earlier, so it is unknown why the card was withheld for such a long time. Ironically, the card features a 2011 copyright instead of a 2012 copyright.
Promotional cards:

- Herdier (Black & White 82; Mirror Parallel Holofoil)
- Stoutland (Black & White 83; Mirror Parallel Holofoil)

Dragon Vault Blisters were the only products associated with this expansion, each of which included three Dragon Vault packs, a code card for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, and one of five possible Mirror Holofoil variant cards from Dragon Vault bearing the expansion's logo.
