Data Sources & Attribution
Pokemon Card List is built from public data sources. Card and set data was last updated Oct 30, 2026. Prices are as of Oct 29, 2026.
TCGdex: card & set data (primary)
Card names, numbers, sets, rarities, attacks, abilities, variants, and legality flags come from TCGdex (api.tcgdex.net), an open, MIT-licensed community Pokemon TCG database (github.com/tcgdex/cards-database). TCGdex is itself an unofficial project with no Pokemon Company affiliation. We snapshot the API at ingest time and record source URLs and hashes for every record.
TCGdex data: Copyright (c) 2021 TCGdex, MIT License.
pokemontcg.io: enrichment & cross-checks
Format legalities, National Pokedex numbers, and image URLs are enriched and cross-checked against pokemontcg.io (the Pokemon TCG API). We use it as a secondary source with attribution. Where the two sources disagree, we prefer the value that matches the official rulings.
TCGplayer prices via TCGCSV
Market prices are TCGplayer prices for the Pokemon category, obtained through TCGCSV, refreshed daily upstream. Prices are joined to cards by TCGplayer product ID, never by name matching, and are shown per finish (normal, holofoil, reverse holofoil, vintage 1st edition / unlimited). We display market price as the headline figure and never present listing high prices as values. Prices are informational market snapshots, not appraisals or offers.
Card images
Card images are cached copies of card scans from pokemontcg.io and Scrydex (images.pokemontcg.io, images.scrydex.com), TCGdex (assets.tcgdex.net) and, for a few cards no other source has, TCGplayer’s product images (tcgplayer-cdn.tcgplayer.com). We serve them from our own CDN and never hotlink. Each cached image records its source URL, checksum and fetch date. Card artwork is © The Pokemon Company, Nintendo, Game Freak and Creatures, and is shown only so you can identify a card. Set logos and symbols are shown to identify the set. Rights holders can ask us to remove any image at takedown@pokemoncardlist.net.
