Pokémon trainer card FAQ

What are Trainer cards?

Trainer cards are the non-Pokémon cards in the TCG — Supporters, Items, and Stadiums. Many of them feature Gym Leaders, rivals, and other characters from the games and show, which is how a single card can 'star' Misty, Brock, or Cynthia.

Which character has the most cards?

Team Rocket has the most cards overall, with 153. Among individual characters, Misty leads with 51 cards, closely followed by Erika.

What is a “Misty's Psyduck” card?

Cards named like “Misty's Psyduck” are Pokémon owned by a character — a possessive style that dates back to the Gym-era sets of 2000. On each trainer page we split these into two filters: cards of the character themselves (Supporters and Items) and cards of that character's Pokémon.
