Every species in the National Pokédex is here, all 1,025 of them, from Bulbasaur at No. 0001 to Pecharunt at No. 1025. Nobody was cut for being obscure. Kricketot is in. So is Dudunsparce.

Forms got one test: does the form change how the Pokémon fights? If its base stats, its type or its abilities differ from the standard version, it gets a card of its own. That lets in Mega Evolutions, including the new ones from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, plus Primal Kyogre and Groudon, the Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian and Paldean regional forms, Rotom's appliances, the Therian Forme genies and Ogerpon's masks. Gigantamax forms are in as well, because each one brings its own G-Max Move.

Forms that only change the look stayed out. That means no Unown letters, no Vivillon wing patterns, no Pikachu in Ash's caps and no Totem Pokémon. Where one form comes in several colors that fight the same way, as with Minior's cores, one card stands for all of them.

Every card uses the Pokémon's official artwork. Pick on whatever matters to you, whether that is design, a competitive record or the first one you ever caught.
