Every Pokemon Card Set & Symbol Guide

Every Pokemon Card Set & Symbol Guide

All Pokemon Cards Symbols Guide

The easiest way to identify Pokemon cards in by the set symbol and card number found at the bottom of every Pokemon card. It's also the most common way for collector's to sort and organize cards.

With Pokemon releasing a new set every 3 months or more with each having their own symbols, I just found it difficult to keep up with everything since the 1999 Base Set.

Below is a complete English Pokemon set and symbols list starting with the most recent Sword & Shield set down to the original Base Set. It is a lot to go through so if you catch any mistakes, please feel free to point it out!

Feel free to comment below how I can make this better as a reference and/or any changes or omissions.
