Track Your Pokémon Cards by Set, Type, Illustrator or Cameo

We've built a free collection tracker on PokePals for English Pokémon cards. You can browse it without an account. Open My Collection and you'll see tabs for Sets, Pokémon, Pokédex, Types, Illustrators, Cameos and Custom.

Sign in when you want to mark the English cards you own and the ones you want, and to see which of those are in stock with us. Some stock and prices show on the public pages too, so you can still browse and plan a list before you create an account.

Hunt by cameo

Cameos are Pokémon and other characters that turn up in another card's artwork. That includes trainers, Team Rocket crew and anyone else drawn into the scene. The Cameos page lists them alphabetically, with a card count on each entry.

Pikachu appears on 121 cards as a cameo. Jessie shows up on 7, and Team Rocket Grunt on 43. Open a character and you get the list: card number and name, rarity, set, and sometimes a reverse holo note.

A few examples from the lists we checked: under Ash you'll find the Ash's Pikachu promos SM108 to SM114. Jessie's list includes Lunala, Arbok and Here Comes Team Rocket!. Pikachu's list includes Fuecoco ex, Greninja ex and Rosa's Encouragement.

If you're building a "spot the character" binder, pick one name and work through the list set by set. It's a clearer way to chase Team Rocket art, Ash-era promos or every card that sneaks Pikachu into the background than scrolling booster galleries by hand.

Browse by set, type or illustrator

Sets are grouped by era, from Mega Evolution and Scarlet & Violet back through to Base. Each set shows its name, logo and release date, so you can jump straight to the block you're finishing.

Types splits the English cards into 11 categories. Grass sits at 2,518 cards, Water at 2,528 and Psychic at 2,658. Useful when you want a type binder or a themed display without guessing how deep each pile goes.

Illustrators has a search box. Ken Sugimori comes back with 291 cards, and the Ken Sugimori/Yusuke Ohmura credit with 2. If you collect a favourite artist, you can pull their full English list in one place instead of hunting set by set.

Pokémon and Pokédex views sit next to those tabs if you'd rather start from a species or a National Dex number. Custom is there when you want your own grouping on top of the built-in ones.

Owned and wanted lists

Once you sign in, mark what you already have and what you're still after. That turns the same Set, Type, Illustrator and Cameo views into a checklist against your own collection, and shows which of those cards we have in stock.

A practical loop: open Cameos, pick a character, mark the cards you own, add the gaps to wanted, then check which wanted cards are in stock. Or do the same from an illustrator search if you're finishing a Sugimori run rather than a character theme.

Start with My Collection, or go straight to Cameos and pick a character to chase.
