How we build this

Lists

Rows come from public Limitless TCG tables (Worlds 2026) and Limitless Play standings (online cups). A list is on this site if a full public table posted in the 1 August–9 September 2026 window. We do not invent placings. The source URL on a list page is the authority if we disagree with it.

Formats

Tags are Standard, Expanded, Gym Leader Challenge, Pocket, and Unlimited. Pocket is not paper. GLC is not Standard with a type filter. Mixing those on purpose is how you show up illegal - see the guides.

Prices

Spot, 7-day, and 30-day figures are public TCGPlayer market snapshots carried via Limitless for singles that appeared in this window. Charts are not a live brokerage. Buy buttons wrap the live TCGplayer Impact partner link.

Staples

The staples table sums Pokémon row counts across every list in the window. A name with 795 copies was copied a lot. It is not a price prediction.

Tier list

Standard only. Worlds 2026 top-table archetypes count three times; September Play cups count once. That keeps San Francisco in front without ignoring the weeks after. Pictures are from posted lists, not a licensed poster.

What we will not do

We will not paste fake affiliate IDs. We will not put a Discord URL on the site until there is a real invite. We will not claim Nintendo affiliation.
