With the release of each series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game comes a plethora of collectible merchandise, and the Black & White Series is no exception. In order to release special promotional cards, booster packs, and other merchandise, promotional items such as Collector's Tins and Value Boxes are distributed. The following is a list of the merchandise released during the BW era of the trading card game.
Sneak-Peek Tins
To start off the Black & White Series for the English trading card game is the release of the Sneak-Peek Tins. Released on March 9, 2011, these tins introduce the first Generation V Pokémon to the TCG. Each tin features one of the three starters—Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott—in the form of both a promotional card and a figure, as well as a preview pack of five other Generation V Pokémon. The three cards featured in the tin feature new artwork than when released in Japan in the Journey Partners collection. Each tin also contains four booster packs from the Platinum Series, HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, and Call of Legends.
Promotional cards:

Furthering the release of the Generation V Pokémon, the three theme decks for the Black & White expansion feature the final evolutions for Unova's starter Pokémon: Serperior, Emboar, and Samurott. The Green Tornado, Red Frenzy, and Blue Assault theme decks were released on April 6, 2011: roughly three weeks before the main expansion. These three theme decks each contain a code for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, allowing players to use these theme decks while battling in the game.

Black & White Trainer Kit
- Main article: Black & White Trainer Kit (TCG)
In order to teach beginning players how to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Trainer Kits with two pre-constructed Half Decks are released. The Black & White Series brings the Black & White Trainer Kit. This kit was originally due for release August 3, 2011, but was held back for unknown reasons. The Black & White Trainer Kit features Zoroark and Excadrill as holographic cards with artwork exclusive to the Trainer Kit. The Zoroark Half Deck contains Darkness-type Pokémon and the Excadrill Half Deck features the Fighting-type. None of the included cards have Rarity symbols and they each feature a collection number and set symbol exclusive to the kit. The collection numbers are the order of the cards in the two Half Decks for the example battle allowing for easy reset if the decks are accidentally shuffled prior to use for example battle.
In addition to the Half Decks, the Black & White Trainer Kit also contains two booklets to guide players through the game, an exclusive deck box featuring Excadrill and Zoroark,, a rulebook, damage counters, status counters, a custom coin with Energy symbols, a playmat and a code card to unlock the cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online. Redeeming the code card also unlocked the Night Hunter Theme Deck which combines both Half Decks into a full 60-card deck.

Dark Explorers Blisters
Accompanying the Dark Explorers expansion on May 9, 2012, various Blister Packs were released in stores to promote the expansion.

Dragons Exalted Theme Decks
The Dragons Exalted expansion features two theme decks, which are named DragonSnarl and DragonSpeed, that were released August 15, 2012. These two theme decks feature the Dragon-type, and contain the Brutal Pokémon Hydreigon and the Mach Pokémon Garchomp, respectively, as exclusive Cracked Ice Holofoils. Each Theme Deck includes a Pokémon Trading Card Game Online code that allows the deck to be unlocked online.
Early product images featured the incorrect card in the image. As there are two different Hydreigon and Garchomp featured in the Dragons Exalted expansion, the early images featured the alternate Hydreigon and Garchomp cards, instead of the ones actually present in the deck.

Emerging Challenges Box
Released September 18, 2012, was the Emerging Challenges Box, a box that seemingly repackaged older material in order to make room for newer merchandise. Much like the Evolved Starter Boxes, the Emerging Challenges Box contained 1 Theme Deck and 2 booster packs, as well as exclusive promotional cards. Differing from the previous boxes, however, the Emerging Challenges Box contained 3 Holofoil cards instead of 1 Holofoil card and a figure. One of the four Theme Decks from the Emerging Powers and Noble Victories expansions—Power Play, Toxic Tricks, Fast Daze, or Furious Knights—was available in the box, as well as 1 booster pack from Black & White, and another from either Emerging Powers or Noble Victories. The promotional cards included were a Mirror Reverse Holofoil Stoutland evolutionary line. The Herdier and Stoutland were from the Black & White expansion, while the Lillipup was one of the BW Black Star Promos: BW52.
The Lillipup promotional card originates from the Cobalion Battle Strength Deck, a deck released in Japan 19 months earlier. The other Pokémon cards from the deck were included in the English Emerging Powers expansion 13 months earlier. It is unknown why the card was withheld for such a long time before finally being released September 2012. Ironically, the card features a 2011 copyright instead of a 2012 copyright.
Promotional card:
- Lillipup (BW Promo 52; Mirror Reverse Holofoil)
- Herdier (Black & White 82; Mirror Reverse Holofoil)
- Stoutland (Black & White 83; Mirror Reverse Holofoil)
