Formats

Pokémon TCG is organized by format, not by a leader. Each page shows the types posting, the popular color combos, then the August–October 2026 lists.

Standard

H, I, and J regulation marks. The 2026 World Championships and Play! Pokémon circuit.

Expanded

The wide constructed pool from Black & White to now, with its own ban list.

Gym Leader Challenge

One type, one of each card name, no rule-box Pokémon. The locals format people actually brew.

Pokémon TCG Pocket

Twenty-card lists for the phone game. Different energy rules, huge online cups.

Unlimited

Old paper. Base–Neo cups and EX-on-2 community events keep the pre-rotation piles alive.
