About the Series
The HGSS Black Star Promos accompany the HeartGold & SoulSilver era. At 25 catalogued cards it is the shortest of the era-coded Black Star Promo series.
It includes Pokémon Prime cards, the HeartGold & SoulSilver-era rarity that also appeared in the expansions of the period.
Numbering & Identification
Numbers run HGSS01 to HGSS25 with the era prefix printed on the card.
Every Black Star Promo carries a black star where an expansion symbol would normally sit. That mark is what gives the series its name.
How to identify one: the black star contains an HGSS-prefixed number, and the card has no set symbol.
