Standard format

Standard in 2026 is regulation marks H, I, and J. G-mark cards left the format on 26 March 2026 for Pokémon TCG Live and 10 April 2026 for paper Play! Pokémon events. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex are in the pool and follow ordinary evolution rules.

In this window the Standard table is not mysterious. Dragapult is the plurality, plus Dusknoir and Blaziken variants. Alakazam / Dudunsparce, Basic Box, N’s Zoroark, and Slowking fill the next seats. The Worlds 2026 Masters winner was Andrew Hedrick on Dragapult. September and October cups sit on the same pages as San Francisco.

When you copy a Standard list off this site, check the date. A 30 August Worlds list and a 8 September online cup are the same format, not the same metagame. Open the tier list for the weighted view, then open three actual lists in the same archetype and diff the 1-ofs.
