How we build this

Lists

Rows come from public Limitless TCG tables (Worlds 2026) and Limitless Play standings (online cups). This build holds 6,172 lists from 1 Aug 2026 – 7 Oct 2026. 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 a high copy count was copied a lot. It is not a price prediction.

Tier list

Standard only. Worlds 2026 rows count three times. Standard cups from September 2026 onward count once. That keeps San Francisco weighted 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.
