Number of Pokemon Cards in Total

There are now 13,429 Pokemon cards available, excluding any that may release in the future. Because there are too many to count, promotional Pokemon cards such as Movie exclusives and McDonald’s promos are not included in this total.

If you’re looking to expand your Pokémon card collection, a great option is to buy Pokémon collection boxes, which often contain a diverse selection of cards to enhance your Pokémon card experience.
