Pokémon Card Finder

Type a card’s name, its number, or both — charizard 4/102, MEW 199, TG05 — to search all 21,256 cards in 201 English sets and get the set, number, rarity, regulation mark and year.

The number after the slash (the 102 in 4/102) is the size of the set’s main run, which narrows the search to the few sets numbered that high; on cards from Scarlet & Violet (2023) on, the set code printed beside the number names the set outright.

Worked example

Finding “charizard 4/102”

Step 1 — split the search. “charizard” is the name; 4/102 means card 4 in a set whose main run is numbered to 102.

Step 2 — sets numbered to 102. In the data, 2 English sets are: Base Set (January 9, 1999) and Triumphant (November 3, 2010).

Step 3 — card 4 in each. Base Set #4 is Charizard; Triumphant #4 is Drapion. Only one is a Charizard, so the answer is Base Set Charizard, 4/102, listed by TCGdex as Rare (TCGdex doesn't separate holo and non-holo rares in Base Set).

A search for “charizard” alone lists every Charizard, exact names first; adding the number is what gets you to one card.

How to use it

In 4 steps

1Find the number at the bottom of the card, such as 4/102 or 025/165. On newer cards, note the three-letter set code beside it.
2Type the name, the number, or both: “pikachu 25”, “4/102”, “MEW 199”. Capitals, accents and periods don't matter.
3Pick your card from the matches — exact name and number come first — and check the set and year against the card.

What the numbers on a Pokémon card mean

The number at the bottom of a card is its place in the set, over the size of the set’s main run: 4/102 is card 4 of 102. A number bigger than the total, like 199/165, is a secret rare, numbered past the end of the set. That’s why “4/102” alone narrows a search to the sets numbered to 102.

Some cards carry letters in front of the number. TG05 is Trainer Gallery card 5, GG44 is from Crown Zenith’s Galarian Gallery, SV107 is from a Shiny Vault, and SWSH101 is a Sword & Shield promo, with no total after the number. Type these exactly as printed.

From Scarlet & Violet on, cards also print a set code (PAL, MEW, SSP). Code plus number points to exactly one card, so “MEW 199” finds it without the name. For older cards, use the name and number; the Set Code Finder explains the codes.

The data comes from TCGdex, a community database, as of September 22, 2026. Rarity names are TCGdex’s; newer sets may be missing a few details for a while. If the card in your hand disagrees, trust the card.

FAQ

Card finder: questions

How do I find out what set my Pokémon card is from?

Type the name and the number printed at the bottom of the card, such as charizard 4/102. The number after the slash is the size of the set's main run, which narrows it to the few sets numbered that high. On Scarlet & Violet and newer cards, the set code printed beside the number (PAL, MEW, SSP) names the set directly.

What does 4/102 mean on a Pokémon card?

It's card number 4 in a set whose main run is numbered to 102. Base Set's Charizard is 4/102. A card numbered above the total, like 199/165, is a secret rare.

Can I search by card number only?

Yes. Type the number with its total, like 4/102, or a lettered number like TG05 or SWSH101. A bare number such as 25 matches every card numbered 25, so add the name or set code to narrow it.

Does the finder show prices?

No. Each result has a Price check link that opens our price-check tool with the card's name, set and number filled in, so you can compare recent sold listings.

Why can't I find my card?

The search covers English cards in the TCGdex snapshot of September 22, 2026, so Japanese cards, Pokémon TCG Pocket cards and the newest releases may be missing. Try the name alone, or check the spelling of the number, including any letters in front of it.
