With the start of every TCG Series, promotional merchandise for the Pokémon Trading Card Game is released. Beginning in November 2016, the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon, the start of Generation VII, and the start of the Sun & Moon TCG Series allowed for a large number of promotional material and items to be made available to fans to purchase, collect, earn, and trade. The following is a chronological list of all TCG related merchandise made available during this Series of the card game.

The first product of the Sun & Moon TCG Series is the Alola Collection.

The Alola Collection comes in 2 varieties, each featuring one of the two game mascot Legendary Pokémon, Solgaleo and Lunala. Also featured are the three Alola starter Pokémon Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio.
The two regional pairs of promotional boxes differ in contents.
