How to read a list

Count, set, number, placing, and why Pocket lists look short.

Every list on this site is a table: Pokémon, Trainer, Energy. Each row is a count, a set code, a number, and a name. “4 DRI 34 Ethan’s Typhlosion” means four copies of that print.

Read Pokémon first for the attacker, then Trainer for the engine, then Energy last. A Dragapult list with 4 Buddy-Buddy Poffin and a Dragapult list with 2 are not the same list. The 1-ofs (a single Boss’s Orders, a single counter Pokémon) are the player’s opinion of the room.

Placing is the number on the left of the title. 1st is the winner. 16th at Worlds is still a Worlds list. 16th at a 16-player weekly is the whole room. Open the event name.

Pocket lists will look short. They are supposed to. Do not “fix” them up to 60.
