Pokémon

The Pokémon reference page (/docs/pokemon) is the most interactive of the seven — it loads live data from the database rather than only showing static examples.

What's on the page​

  • Example card — an annotated Charizard (Base Set) with its key fields called out
  • Set Gallery — every set in the database, each shown as a horizontal scrollable strip of card thumbnails, loaded live from the app's own API. If that fails to load, a small fallback gallery (Base Set, Jungle, Fossil) is shown instead.
  • Set & Printing fields — 11 fields describing a set and a specific printing (set code, rarity, regulation mark, and more)
  • Types & Supertypes — icon grids for the three supertypes (Pokémon, Trainer, Energy) and the energy types (Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness, Metal, Dragon, Colorless, Fairy)
  • Gameplay & Mechanics — 10 fields covering stats, costs, and rules text (retreat cost, weaknesses, attacks, National Pokédex number, and more)
  • Rarity Examples — a glyph grid for seven rarity tiers, from Common up through Hyper Rare and Amazing Rare
  • Legalities, Pricing & Assets — 9 additional fields covering format legality, pricing, and image assets
  • Sets & Importing — notes on where this data comes from

Viewing a full set​

Select View all cards on any set in the gallery to open a fullscreen dialog that loads every card in that set for browsing — handy for checking a set's complete card list without leaving the reference page.

Where the data comes from​

Card and set data are imported from the TCGdex API. Card images are uploaded to our S3/CDN during import (assets.tcgdex.net is the upstream source).
