Similar to its Japanese counterparts, each card features an image of a Pokémon character along with details about each character relevant to the card game. (In this case, Dragonite, Mew, and Mewtwo) The lower left corner of each card credits the illustrator responsible for each image. These card were produced as special promotional releases, which is indicated by a small star with the word promo written on across it. The Mewtwo and Dragonite cards seem to have been produced in connection with Pokémon The First Movie (1999), which is indicated by an embossed metallic logo that reads "Kids WB Presents Pokémon The First Movie". The back of each card displays a pokéball with the words Pokémon written on the top and bottom of the card. The Pokémon logo is trademarked.
