The Pokémon promo card, sold by Goldin Auctions, doesn't feature a Pocket Monster; it features the art of Ishihara along with some overpowered abilities. In 2017, this was given only to Pokémon Company employees for the president's 60th birthday.
The official name of the promo card is "2017 P.M. SM Black Star #TPCi01 Tsunekazu Ishihara Signed Pokemon GX Promo Card". Here's the card description:
Graded NM 7 by PSA, with signature graded "9" by PSA/DNA.
