Pitch Black Prerelease Promo Cards Officially Revealed

The official Pitch Black prerelease promo cards have been revealed, and we now know exactly which four Pokémon are featured.

The Four Promo Cards

The Pitch Black prerelease lineup includes:

• Dhelmise
• Bastiodon
• Miraidon
• Slowbro

Prerelease promos are exclusive stamped cards included in the Build & Battle Box bundles distributed at local game store prerelease events. They’re a low-key but consistently popular part of the prerelease experience - you get one random promo from the set’s lineup alongside your event packs.

When Can You Get Them

Prerelease bundles go on sale starting July 4th. If you’re planning to play or just want to grab the promos, that’s your date to mark.

Worth keeping in mind: prerelease bundles are typically available through local game stores running official events. Stock can vary by location, so it’s worth checking in with your nearest LGS sooner rather than later if you’re keen on a specific promo.

Which One to Watch

Miraidon is the obvious standout here given its history as a competitive staple, which tends to generate more demand for its promos. Dhelmise, Bastiodon, and Slowbro will appeal to collectors who like the full promo set, and prerelease stamps generally hold collector interest over time.
