2019 English edition almanac

This page covers all 1140 English cards of 2019, in seven products: 196 on 31 January, 18 on 29 March, 234 on 3 May, 258 on 2 August, 69 + 94 on 23 August — a boxed set and its Shiny Vault, kept apart and never merged — and 271 on 1 November. Three things are true of English 2019 that are not true of the Japanese year. There is no Pokémon V and no VMAX anywhere in it: 0 and 0, because the Sword & Shield era does not reach English until 7 February 2020, so GX is still the only high rarity in the language for twelve more months. Tag Team reaches its peak here — 102 prints from 31 names, more than Japan printed in the same year. And the Character Rare frame invented in August has no name in English: the twelve cards arrive inside Cosmic Eclipse as plain Secret Rare, at 237–248. 86 shiny cards are printed, all of them in the Shiny Vault, 101 cards are secret, and 4 Prism Star cards are the last the language ever gets.

Seven products, 1,140 cards, Tag Team at its peak — and a year with no V and no VMAX in it

English 2019 ends the way the Japanese year begins to end, and then stops there. Japan prints V and VMAX on 6 December 2019; English does not print either until 7 February 2020, so this page has zero V and zero VMAX on it and 114 GX prints from 75 names — the mechanic staying alive in the west a full year after it stopped being invented. What the language does get is the peak of Tag Team: 102 prints from 31 names, more than Japan printed in the same twelve months, with 165 Magikarp & Wailord GX at 300 HP in January, 071 Mewtwo & Mew GX copying any attack in the discard pile in August, and 156 Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX at 280 HP in November. 044 Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX is the year’s other arrival: three Pokémon on one card, 300 HP, and it lands in a tin rather than a booster.

The shape of the year is three sets folded into one twice, and one box that is not a set at all. 1140 cards in seven products, 114 GX prints from 75 names, 102 of them Tag Team from 31 names, 28 Ultra Beast prints from 18, 4 Prism Star, 86 shiny, 101 secrets, 185 Trainers, 8 Energy and 97 artists. Unbroken Bonds folds three Japanese products into one set and misses only two of their cards; Cosmic Eclipse does it again with three more. Hidden Fates is 69 cards and Shiny Vault 94, sold in the same tins — and Shiny Vault is 93 parts reprint to 1 part new. The one thing English never gets in 2019 is the thing Japan spends December inventing.

Every card below is the English printing, with its English scan, its English name and the number printed on the card.

Cards are grouped by the product they were sold in, in release order. The commentary for each card is written on the Japanese page for the same card, because the two editions are one card with different text on the face.

How many English Pokémon cards are documented in 2019?

This page documents 1,140 main-series cards across seven products on six release dates in 2019. It covers cards printed outside Japan only; printings for other editions are tracked separately.

What happened this year

7 entries

01-31
Team Up (sm9), 196 cards — 181 numbered and fifteen secrets. Tag Team reaches English here, eight weeks after Japan: 165 Magikarp & Wailord GX at 300 HP, 001 Celebi & Venusaur GX and 120 Eevee & Snorlax GX at 270, 053 Gengar & Mimikyu GX and 113 Latias & Latios GX at 240 and 250. Four Prism Stars and twenty Tag Teams, and 010 Shaymin ◇ is back. 177 of its 196 cards have no counterpart in Japan’s 2019 output: this is where the 2018 catalogue finally crosses.
03-29
Detective Pikachu (det1), 18 cards. Every illustration is credited to MPC Film, the studio that made the movie, rather than to a TCG illustrator — the only product on any page of this almanac where that is true. Eight commons, six rares and four Ultra Rare prints, no GX, no Tag Team, and not one card of it exists in Japan: the Japanese tie-in is a different 24-card product with no verifiable per-card release data, so it is not listed here.
05-03
Unbroken Bonds (sm10), 234 cards — 214 numbered and twenty secrets. The largest English set of the year and the closest to the Japanese one: 66 cards of Night Unison, 62 of Full Metal Wall and 106 of Double Blaze, all in one morning, with only two cards of those three products missing. 020 Reshiram & Charizard GX, 061 Muk & Alolan Muk GX and 082 Marshadow & Machamp GX are all 270, 107 Greninja & Zoroark GX 250, and 057 Dedenne GX finally arrives — the draw engine the whole format had been waiting for since January.
08-02
Unified Minds (sm11), 258 cards — 236 numbered and twenty-two secrets. The biggest Tag Team set of the year in either language, with 24 of them. 071 Mewtwo & Mew GX copies any attack belonging to a Pokémon in your discard pile and becomes the best card printed in 2019; 126 Mega Sableye & Tyranitar GX is 280, 146 Garchomp & Giratina GX 270, 035 Slowpoke & Psyduck GX 250. 079 Jirachi GX is the only Prism Star in it, and 141 Mawile GX and 132 Weavile GX fill out the Dark half.
08-23
Hidden Fates (sm115, 69 cards) with Shiny Vault (sma, 94 cards) — a tin product, not a booster, and the only shiny cards English prints all year. 044 Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX at 300 HP is here, in a box, rather than in Unified Minds three weeks earlier; 009 Charizard GX is the other headline. Shiny Vault runs SV1–SV94: 86 shiny cards, 39 of them GX, six shiny Supporters, and four gold Tapu GX at SV91–SV94. 93 of the 94 are reprints of cards Japan printed in earlier years.
11-01
Cosmic Eclipse (sm12), 271 cards — 236 numbered and thirty-five secrets, the largest secret list of the year. Remix Bout, Dream League and Alter Genesis folded into one: 67, 75 and 113 cards. 156 Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX and 158 Naganadel & Guzzlord GX are both 280, 157 Reshiram & Zekrom GX 270, 143 Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX 240, 165 Mega Lopunny & Jigglypuff GX 240. The twelve Character Rares of Dream League land at 237–248 — and English prints them as plain Secret Rare, with no name for the frame at all.
12-06
Nothing. Sword and Shield go on sale in Japan on 6 December 2019 and English gets no product at all in December — the first December in four years with no English release. No V, no VMAX, no RRR, and no card from either December pack reaches the language until 7 February 2020, when 147 of the 150 arrive in Sword & Shield at once. The last Sun & Moon card English prints is 1 November.

Promos, decks & handouts

not itemised

Why this is empty. Everything on this page is a numbered product with a printed card count and a release day we can stand behind. Everything else that year is a handout or a box: the SM promos, the prerelease kits, and the tins sold between sets. None of those has a per-card release date and distribution condition we have been able to verify, so none is listed and none is counted in the 1140 above. Same rule as every earlier year on this site: a real card with no citable date is left out rather than guessed at.

2019-01-31196 cards

2019-01-31. 196 cards — 155 Pokémon, 41 Trainers and no Energy cards, 14 of them GX, 20 Tag Team and 4 Prism Star; 45 commons, 48 uncommons, 54 rares, 34 Ultra Rare prints, 15 secrets; 24 Lightning, 21 Psychic, 19 Darkness, 15 Metal, 15 Colorless, 14 Water, 12 Grass, 12 Fighting, 11 Fire, 10 Dragon and 2 Fairy; 46 artists worked on it and 5ban Graphics drew 32.

The January set, and the one where Tag Team finally reaches English — eight weeks after Japan, and 102 prints of it across the year start here. 165 Magikarp & Wailord GX is a 300 HP Basic, 001 Celebi & Venusaur GX and 120 Eevee & Snorlax GX are 270, and 033 Pikachu & Zekrom GX brings the Tag Bolt GX attack with it. Four Prism Stars — 010 Shaymin ◇, 051 Tapu Koko ◇, 134 Black Market ◇ and 158 Wondrous Labyrinth ◇ — and fifteen secrets at 182–196. 177 of its 196 cards have no counterpart in Japan’s 2019 output at all: this set is where English receives the whole 2018 catalogue, Dark Order and Tag Bolt both, at once.

2019-03-2918 cards

2019-03-29. 18 cards — 18 Pokémon, 0 Trainers and no Energy cards; 8 commons, 6 rares, 4 Ultra Rare prints; 3 Grass, 3 Fire, 3 Water, 3 Colorless, 2 Psychic, 2 Fairy, 1 Lightning and 1 Fighting; 2 artists worked on it and MPC Film drew 11.

Eighteen cards, the smallest product on any page of this almanac, and the only one drawn by a film studio. Every illustration in the set is credited to MPC Film rather than to a TCG illustrator, because every image is taken from the 2019 movie. Eight commons, six rares and four Ultra Rare prints, and none of it is a GX, a Tag Team or an Ultra Beast — it is a box sold beside a cinema release. Not one of its eighteen cards exists in Japan: the Japanese movie tie-in is a different 24-card product that this almanac does not list, because no per-card release data for it could be verified. This set is counted in the 1,140 and it changes nothing about the format.

2019-05-03. 234 cards — 195 Pokémon, 37 Trainers and 2 Energy, 18 of them GX, 26 Tag Team and 6 Ultra Beast; 62 commons, 53 uncommons, 61 rares, 38 Ultra Rare prints, 20 secrets; 28 Fighting, 25 Colorless, 24 Grass, 24 Psychic, 22 Water, 18 Darkness, 18 Fairy, 15 Fire, 12 Metal and 9 Lightning; 65 artists worked on it and 5ban Graphics drew 22.

The May set, English’s largest of the year, and the closest any English set comes to the Japanese one. 234 cards, 214 numbered and twenty secrets at 215–234, folding three Japanese products into one morning: 66 cards of January’s Night Unison, 62 of February’s Full Metal Wall and 106 of March’s Double Blaze. 020 Reshiram & Charizard GX, 061 Muk & Alolan Muk GX and 082 Marshadow & Machamp GX are all 270 HP, 107 Greninja & Zoroark GX 250, 057 Dedenne GX arrives four months after Japan and is immediately in every list. 232 of its 234 cards come from Japan’s 2019 output — no other English set this year is that close.

2019-08-23. 69 cards — 52 Pokémon, 17 Trainers and no Energy cards, 8 of them GX and 3 Tag Team; 18 commons, 17 uncommons, 21 rares, 12 Ultra Rare prints, 1 secret; 9 Colorless, 8 Water, 8 Psychic, 6 Grass, 6 Lightning, 6 Fairy, 5 Fighting and 4 Fire; 37 artists worked on it and 5ban Graphics drew 8.

August’s boxed set, sold as a tin rather than a booster, and the only shiny cards printed in English all year. 69 cards — 68 numbered and one secret at 069 — with eight GX and three Tag Team, and 044 Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX at 300 HP is the card April’s Sky Legend printed in Japan and never sent to Unified Minds. 009 Charizard GX is the other headline. 55 of its 69 cards have no counterpart in Japan’s 2019 output: the set is mostly a re-cut of earlier cards, which is what a boxed product is for.

2019-11-01271 cards

2019-11-01. 271 cards — 228 Pokémon, 41 Trainers and 2 Energy, 19 of them GX, 29 Tag Team and 3 Ultra Beast; 67 commons, 66 uncommons, 60 rares, 43 Ultra Rare prints, 35 secrets; 37 Psychic, 34 Water, 26 Fighting, 26 Colorless, 25 Grass, 21 Fire, 17 Dragon, 13 Fairy, 11 Lightning, 11 Darkness and 7 Metal; 85 artists worked on it and 5ban Graphics drew 14.

November, and the last Sun & Moon set English prints. 271 cards, 236 numbered and thirty-five secrets at 237–271 — the largest secret list of the year. It folds July’s Remix Bout, August’s Dream League and September’s Alter Genesis into one: 67, 75 and 113 cards. 156 Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX and 158 Naganadel & Guzzlord GX are both 280, 165 Mega Lopunny & Jigglypuff GX 240, 143 Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX 240, and 157 Reshiram & Zekrom GX 270. The twelve Character Rares of Dream League arrive at 237–248 — and they carry no such name here: English prints them as plain Secret Rare, so the frame this year invents is unlabelled in the west. 29 Tag Teams, 19 GX, 35 secrets.

Sword & Shield (swsh1), 216 cards — the first English set with no GX in it at all, and the product where the 147 cards of Japan’s December pair finally arrive: 72 of Sword, all 75 of Shield, and three cards of July’s Remix Bout held back for the new era. V, VMAX and RRR enter the language on the same morning, and 168 Zacian V is the card the format is rebuilt around.
2020-05-01
Rebel Clash (swsh2), and the Character Rare frame finally gets a name in English. The twelve cards Dream League printed in August 2019 were sold as plain Secret Rare in Cosmic Eclipse; the next set draws the frame again and the language follows it from here.

What English 2019 settles is that a language can be a year behind and still be the year it is judged by. Every card the format is remembered for — Mewtwo & Mew, Dedenne, Reshiram & Charizard, Arceus & Dialga & Palkia — is printed here, on time, and the product they are printed in is English’s largest of the year each time. What is not here is the end of GX: Japan stops printing it on 6 December and English stops eleven months later. The other thing that is not here is a name. Character Rare exists in this language as twelve unlabelled secrets at 237–248, and the frame that every set for the next four years is sold on goes unnamed for eight more months. And the shiny cards get exactly one product, in a tin, in August — 93 of its 94 cards reprints, which is the honest description of a set like that.

About this data

All 1140 English cards of the seven products are listed, and every one carries its English scan. The counts are 196, 18, 234, 258, 69, 94 and 271. 101 of them are secret cards — 15, 0, 20, 22, 1, 8 and 35 — and are shown at the numbers they actually print, past the total of their own set.

This page lists cards, not commentary. Each entry is the scan, the number printed on the card, the English name and the rarity; the per-card commentary is written on the Japanese page for the same card, because the two editions are the same card with different text on the face. Nothing is translated from the Japanese, and no Japanese name is shown here.

The pairing is the reason the two pages do not count the same cards. 371 of these 1140 cards have no counterpart among the 1156 Japanese cards of 2019 at all — 177 in Team Up, 93 in Shiny Vault, 55 in Hidden Fates, 21 in Unified Minds, 18 in Detective Pikachu, 5 in Cosmic Eclipse and 2 in Unbroken Bonds — because a set that folds three Japanese products into one leaves almost nothing out, while a tin made of reprints is nearly all of it. A card that appears in both editions appears once on each page, with the number its own edition prints.

The Shiny Vault is numbered on its own and is listed that way. SV1–SV94 is a separate sequence from Hidden Fates’ 1–69, sold in the same tin, and it is treated as a separate product on this page rather than folded into the set beside it. SV87–SV94 are the eight gold cards, and they are the only ones in it that are not shiny.

Two things arrive without the name they have in Japan. Character Rare is not a rarity in English in 2019: the twelve cards are printed as Secret Rare at 237–248 and are recorded here as what the card says, not as what the frame will be called later. And RRR — Triple Rare — does not exist in this language at all this year, because there is no VMAX card to print it on: that rarity enters English on 7 February 2020.

Where a card’s rarity is not printed on the face, the field is left empty rather than filled with a guess, and no English card in this year is missing an illustrator — unlike the Japanese page, where the GX and Tag Team secret printings have no artist recorded anywhere. Every English card of 2019 lists one. The count difference between the editions is a calendar, not an error: Japan prints 1156 cards and English 1140, and the 16-card gap is two December packs, 147 cards of which arrive eight weeks into 2020.

Seven products, 1140 cards, 114 GX prints from 75 names — 102 of them Tag Team from 31 names — 28 Ultra Beast prints from 18 names, 86 shiny cards, 101 secrets and 4 Prism Stars, with no Pokémon V, no VMAX, no Pokémon-EX, no Mega Evolution and no BREAK card anywhere in the year at all. 2019 in English is the last full year of GX, and the year Tag Team is at its best. 071 Mewtwo & Mew GX copies any attack you have thrown away; 057 Dedenne GX turns a dead hand into six cards; 156 Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX is 280 HP with three names on it. The Supporters the year runs on are the ones it inherits: the two that had been in every list since 2017 and 2018 are not reprinted plain here, they are fused — 189 Cynthia & Caitlin and 193 Guzma & Hala put two Trainers on one card in November, with full-art printings at 228 and 229. And the frame that outlives everything else on this page is twelve cards printed without a name: October’s Dream League draws a Trainer and their Pokémon into one picture, Cosmic Eclipse sells it as Secret Rare, and the language does not call it anything until 2020.
