How to Start Tracking

Whether you've just got your first pack and want to start tracking or you have a growing collection already, keeping track of your cards on pkmn.gg is super easy.

Tracking by Set

If you're opening or cataloging many cards from a single set, heading to the page for that set will be the fastest way to track cards. You can use the search bar within a set to quickly find the card and then check off the versions you have. Learn More about tracking by set.

Searching for a card

If you're cataloging cards from random sets and promos, using our Global Card Search is your best friend. You can search by card name, card number, set name, and more. For the best results, we recommend searching by Card Name + Card Number, for example: Lugia V 186.

Pokédex

If you're cataloging several cards of a single Pokémon, you can use the Pokédex to view all cards from a specific Pokémon.

Planning Your Next Purchase and Trades

If you're trying to master a set, complete your custom made Wishlist of cards, or purchasing a single you've had your eyes on, our tools make planning your next purchase an informed one.

Do I already have this card?

Don't find yourself in a situation where you accidently double purchase a card you already own. Keeping your collection cataloged and organized on pkmn.gg is not only fun, it makes it easy to quickly check if you already own a card before purchasing or trading.

Is this deal fair?

Sometimes you'll be presented an offer where quickly finding the market price of a card is crucial. Use our global search with the card name and number to quickly find it, see the current price, check market trends for growing value or dropping value, and more.

Use lists to create a sell or trade list

You can use Lists to create a custom list of cards and at the top, we'll tell calculate the total value of that list making sales and trades easier. You can even share your list with others so they can view what you have to offer.
