The Burning Shadows Prerelease Kit is a special product given to participants at the start of Prerelease Tournaments for the Burning Shadows expansion. Prerelease Tournaments for the Burning Shadows expansion were held on the two weekends prior to the release of the expansion, on July 22–23, and 29-30, 2017. Each Kit contains a random set of predetermined cards designed to enhance the experience of the Limited format tournament that follows.

Included in each Prerelease Kit is a 23-card Evolution pack that includes one of four specially stamped Prerelease cards for the expansion, as well as four booster packs. The Prerelease cards for the Burning Shadows expansion are Bewear, Seviper, Crabominable, and Zygarde, with each containing a group of Pokémon cards that are focused around a particular type respectively: Grass-type, Psychic-type, Fighting-type, and Darkness-type.

The Burning Shadows Prerelease Kits provided two exclusive Non Holofoils of cards which were only released as Holofoils in Burning Shadow booster packs: Vileplume and Rhyperior. Rhyperior would later be made obtainable in the Rock Steady Theme Deck.
