AND IF YOU PLAY TOO

You play as well? Then let's look at your last game together.

Everything above is about your cards and what they are worth. There is another half to this site, the one that helps you play better. When a game ends, Pokémon TCG Live leaves you a log: the written record of everything that happened, turn by turn. Hand it over, and we replay each of your decisions hundreds of times to show you the one that really cost you the match.

THE JOURNAL

The cards you'll play next are already out in Japan.

We read them over there, one at a time, through the two months when nobody here can read them yet.

That gap is where we do our reading. The usual wait, measured across 22 expansions.

ON THE TABLES

THE GUIDES

What we wrote down once and for all, and count again off the cards every time a new set ships.

Rarity symbols, countedThe symbol at the bottom of your card tells you which pile it came out of. Everyone shows you the symbols. We counted how many cards carry each one, set by set, so you can tell at a glance whether the card in your hand is one in three or one in eight hundred.Read→Japanese cards: reading them, and what they really areThey come out first, they come in smaller sets, and the numbers on them read without any translation at all. Here is the card field by field, the words that come back on every one of them, and the measured gap between a Japanese release and ours.Read→Set symbols and codesThree capital letters on a decklist, a small symbol at the bottom of a card. Here is every set with its printed code, its release date, how many cards it holds — and the Japanese set it was built from, which is the column nobody else publishes.Read→Pokémon TCG Live: the format and your battle logRanked play is Standard, which means the cards in the client are the cards in a tournament hall — and a chunk of them expires at the next rotation. Here is what you are allowed to play, what is about to leave, and where the app keeps the record of every game you lose.Read→Upcoming sets and release datesThe next expansion already exists — it has been on sale in Japan for weeks. Here is what is in it, and the window our measured Japan-to-here gap puts it in. Plus every past release with its real date on both sides.Read→Standard rotation and regulation marksOne letter at the bottom of your card decides whether you are allowed to play it. Here is what it means, how many cards go at the next rotation, and — the part nobody counts — how many of them have no replacement waiting.Read→What to buy, countedBooster box, Elite Trainer Box, League Battle Deck: every shelf wants your money and none of them tells you what the decks people actually play are made of. We count that, off real tournament lists, and we tell you which product can even contain what you need.Read→Deck costs, countedEvery deck page on this site counts which cards a deck really needs. This page adds the part everyone asks next: what that core costs — priced off real marketplace readings when we have them, never invented — and where players actually buy the cards.Read→Reading a deck listWhat "the core of a deck" means, why a card sits at 62 %, what the copies column is telling you, and where every number on a deck page comes from. Read this once and the other fifty-seven pages read themselves.Read→
