Which Later-Generation Pokémon Have Simplified Chinese Cards

By CardSpicy Founder · September 29, 2026

Simplified Chinese cards do not stop at Kanto. Sixty-three characters from later generations have been printed in the format so far, across eight regions — and fourteen of them already carry a full guide on this site. This is the whole list, with the three-language counts behind each one.

The first 151 get the attention, and on a site built around the original Pokédex that is expected. But the Chinese-exclusive sets reach well past Kanto, and the characters they reach for are not a random sample. They are the ones with a following large enough to carry a set, and the ones whose designs work as a chase card.

That makes the list below useful in two directions. If you collect a character from a later generation and want to know whether it has been printed in Chinese at all, the table answers it. If you are looking at what the Chinese format has actually built outside Kanto, the shape of the list — which regions are deep and which are barely touched — is the more interesting read.

Quick answer

CardSpicy’s catalogue records sixty-three characters outside the original 151 with a Simplified Chinese printing, spread across eight regions. Forty-two of the sixty-three carry at least one graded price, and fourteen have a full guide on this site. The deepest pools belong to Eevee’s evolutions: Umbreon on 33 Chinese printings and Sylveon on 30, followed by Leafeon and Glaceon on 26 each. Two characters — Baxcalibur and Kubfu — have no Simplified Chinese printing on record at all.

What “outside the first 151” means here

A character qualifies for this list on one test: it has a Pokédex number above 151 and at least one Simplified Chinese printing on record in our source. That is a narrower test than it sounds. The Chinese format launched in October 2022 and has printed a limited number of sets since, so coverage of later generations is thin and uneven rather than proportional to how many characters each generation introduced.

Paldea is the clearest illustration. Twenty-seven of the sixty-three characters on this list come from Generation IX, because the Chinese sets that have run since 2022 have followed the current generation as it released. Johto is second with nine, driven by Eevee’s evolutions. Hoenn has two. Generations III through VII together account for nineteen characters — not because those characters are unpopular, but because the Chinese print runs have not caught up with them yet.

The sixty-three characters, by region

Counts are Simplified Chinese, Japanese and English printings tracked on PriceCharting, read on 27 September 2026. Names link to a full guide where one exists. Seven of the characters below sit at the end of an evolution line that begins in Kanto, and those relationships are set out in the next section.

Which of them are evolutions of a Kanto character

The overlap with the first 151 is not only thematic. Several characters on the list are later evolutions of a character that sits in the grid above, which is why a Kanto collector often ends up holding a Johto or Sinnoh card without meaning to.

Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon all evolve from Eevee, number 133. Scizor evolves from Scyther, number 123. Annihilape evolves from Primeape, number 57. Four of those five Eevee evolutions sit in this list’s top four by Chinese printings — a direct consequence of Eevee itself being the most-printed character in the Chinese format outside Pikachu.

The two characters with no Chinese printing

Baxcalibur and Kubfu are the only characters in this list whose Simplified Chinese count is zero. Both have Japanese and English printings — Baxcalibur on 4 and 8, Kubfu on 2 and 2 — so the gap is a gap in the Chinese print run rather than a gap in our records. On the index page the two are shown with their English card, labelled as such, because there is no Chinese card to show.

Both are worth watching rather than dismissing. Kubfu is the base form of Urshifu, which does have ten Chinese printings and two priced cards. Baxcalibur is the final evolution of a Paldea line that the Chinese sets have otherwise covered. A future set can close either gap, and when it does, the counts here move.

Where the deepest Chinese-only pools sit

The table rewards reading down the Simplified Chinese column rather than the total. Some characters with very large Japanese and English histories have almost no Chinese presence — Lugia sits on 22 Japanese and 51 English printings but only 1 in Chinese, and Volcarona on 24 Japanese and 41 English against 1 in Chinese. Others run the other way. Ogerpon has 23 Chinese printings against 48 Japanese and 45 English, which is a much flatter profile than its totals suggest.

For a collector deciding what is actually collectable in the Chinese format, the characters with depth are the ones worth a look: Umbreon on 33, Sylveon on 30, Leafeon and Glaceon on 26 each, Espeon on 24, and Ogerpon on 23. Everything below that thins out quickly into single digits.

Frequently asked questions

How many Pokémon outside the original 151 have Simplified Chinese cards?

Sixty-three characters, spread across eight regions, have at least one Simplified Chinese printing on record as of 27 September 2026. Forty-two of them carry at least one graded price, and fourteen have a full guide on this site. The count rises whenever a new Chinese set is printed.

Why are there so few Hoenn or Sinnoh characters with Chinese cards?

Because the Chinese format is young rather than selective. Simplified Chinese launched in October 2022, and the sets printed since have followed the current generation as it released, which is why twenty-seven of the sixty-three characters here come from Paldea. Earlier generations are covered thinly because the print runs have not reached them yet.

Which later-generation Pokémon has the most Chinese cards?

Umbreon, with 33 Simplified Chinese printings, followed by Sylveon on 30 and Leafeon and Glaceon on 26 each. Umbreon is the deepest Chinese-only pool of any character outside the first generation. All five of those are Eevee evolutions, which is the main reason the Johto region is the second-best covered on the list.

Are any of these characters evolutions of a Kanto Pokémon?

Yes, seven of them. Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon all evolve from Eevee, number 133. Scizor evolves from Scyther, number 123. Annihilape evolves from Primeape, number 57. Their Chinese print counts reflect how heavily Eevee itself has been printed in the format.

Which later-generation characters have no Simplified Chinese card at all?

Two: Baxcalibur and Kubfu. Both have Japanese and English printings, so the gap is in the Chinese print run rather than in our records. Kubfu is the base form of Urshifu, which does have ten Chinese printings, so the gap may close when a future set runs that line.
