Japan · 2020
This page covers all 951 Japanese cards of 2020, in seven products on seven release days: 86 on 7 February, 115 on 6 March, 86 on 24 April, 119 on 5 June, 94 on 10 July, 121 on 18 September and 330 on 20 November — one product per date, no pair and no overlap. Four things arrive this year. Amazing Rare appears on 10 July: six cards carrying an A where the rarity symbol goes, each with a three-Energy attack of a different colour combination. VMAX stops being a novelty — 60 of them from 26 names against 117 Pokémon V from 50 names, and every one of the seven products ships at least three VMAX lines. Shiny Star V on 20 November is the largest Japanese set since 2019 and the first shiny-only product of the Sword & Shield era. And the pack price changes twice: 165 yen for five cards and a box of thirty is the standard, but Legendary Heartbeat on 10 July is 253 yen for seven cards in a box of twenty and Shiny Star V on 20 November is 550 yen for ten cards in a box of ten — the two products that break the shape of the year also break its price. What does not arrive: 0 GX, 0 Tag Team, 0 Prism Star, 0 Pokémon-EX, 0 Mega Evolution and 0 BREAK cards are printed in 2020 at all — the vocabulary is V and VMAX, and nothing else. The English edition of 2020 is 909 cards across five products — 216, 209, 201, 80 and 203 — and not one of these 951 Japanese cards is printed in English on the same day as Japan: 620 arrive between eight and eighteen weeks later inside 2020, 39 are a different card of the same species as something English printed in the year, 221 are reprints of cards English already had, 37 wait for February 2021 and 34 never cross at all.
Seven products, 951 cards, and the year the VMAX body becomes the shape of the game
In 2020 the mechanic stops changing and starts repeating. Every one of the seven products ships a VMAX line, 60 VMAX prints come from 26 names, and the rarity symbol RRR is used on nothing else. 50 Dragapult VMAX at 320, 65 Eternatus VMAX at 340, 31 Pikachu VMAX at 310, 308 Charizard VMAX at 330 — by November the same shape is on the cover of three different products, and the game is played around how many Prizes a three-Prize body is worth. The one thing that is genuinely new is small and strange: on 10 July, six cards carry an A instead of a rarity symbol — 09 Celebi, 15 Raikou, 33 Zacian, 44 Zamazenta, 50 Jirachi, 56 Rayquaza — each costing three different types and doing between 120 and 180 damage for it. Three more follow inside the November reprint set, and then the symbol is never used again.
The numbers get bigger and the year gets narrower. 951 cards in seven products against 2019’s 1,156 in twelve, 117 Pokémon V from 50 names and 60 VMAX from 26, 9 Amazing Rare, 127 shiny Pokémon, 65 full-art, 35 Hyper Rare and 24 gold as secrets, 804 Pokémon, 125 Trainers, 22 Energy and 88 artists. The tallest body is 340 HP and the highest damage number in the year is 300, on 308 Charizard VMAX — printed in the last product of the year, in a reprint set. Two products break the shape of the year: November’s Shiny Star V is 330 cards, 140 of them secret, and 127 of those are shiny; July’s Legendary Heartbeat is the only 7-card pack and the only 253-yen pack, printed to carry the six Amazing Rares; and November’s Shiny Star V is the only 10-card pack, at 550 yen. Everything else is 165 yen for five cards and a box of thirty, all year.
Every card below is the Japanese printing, with its Japanese scan, its Japanese name as printed, and its attack text in English.
Cards are grouped by the product they were sold in, in release order. Each of the seven went on sale on its own day; there is no pair to keep apart this year. Where a card is a shiny, full-art or gold printing of another card in the same pack, the entry says which number it reprints.
This page documents 951 main-series cards across seven products on seven release dates in 2020. It covers cards printed in Japan only; printings for other editions are tracked separately.

VMAX Rising (S1a), 70 numbered cards. The year opens with the mechanic already settled: 12 Pokémon V and 6 VMAX, no GX anywhere. 09 Rillaboom VMAX at 330 HP, 17 Cinderace VMAX and 23 Inteleon VMAX at 320 are the three starter lines in one pack, and 70 Twin Energy — two Colourless on anything that is not a V — is the card that keeps Stage 2 decks alive all year. All 86 reach English on 1 May in Rebel Clash, twelve weeks later and not one of them in Sword & Shield base.
Sword & Shield (swsh1), 216 cards — 202 numbered and fourteen secrets, English’s cut of December’s two Japanese halves and the first English set with no GX in it. 138 Zacian V and 139 Zamazenta V lead it, with full arts at 195 and 196 and secret printings at 211 and 212 — the card that the 2020 season is played around arrives in English on the same morning Japan sells its first set of the new year, without a single card of that set being in it.
Rebellion Crash (S2), 96 numbered cards. 76 Copperajah VMAX at 340 HP is the tallest body printed in 2020, and 92 Boss’s Orders is printed here for the first time — the gust Supporter every deck runs for the next three years. 10 Eldegoss V takes a Supporter back out of the discard, 86 Scoop Up Net resets a Stage 2, and the year’s first three typed Special Energies — 94 Speed Lightning, 95 Horror Psychic and 96 Capture — are all in this pack. 112 of the 115 reach English in Rebel Clash on 1 May; three never cross.
Explosive Walker (S2a), 70 numbered cards. The product that invents Mad Party: one attack printed on five cards — 19 Galarian Mr. Rime, 33 Dedenne, 37 Polteageist, 58 Bunnelby and 78 Sinistea — doing 20 damage for every Mad Party Pokémon in the discard, with 64 Familiar Bell printed to recycle them. 02 Butterfree VMAX is the cheapest VMAX line of the year at three Energy, and 66 Big Parasol — a Tool that switches off all attack effects against your whole board — is the card every spread deck has to answer. All 86 reach English: 77 in Darkness Ablaze and nine in Champion’s Path.
Rebel Clash (swsh2), 209 cards — 192 numbered and seventeen secrets. English’s cut of February’s and March’s Japanese products, and the set where all 86 cards of VMAX Rising and 112 of Rebellion Crash arrive on the same morning: 093 Dragapult VMAX at 320, 137 Copperajah VMAX at 340, 165 Scoop Up Net, 168 Tool Scrapper and 174 Twin Energy, all three of which have secret printings at 207–209. 104 Crobat V is not in it — that card waits for August — so the most played Pokémon of the year is missing from the English set that carries the rest of its block.
Mugen Zone (S3), 100 numbered cards. 65 Eternatus VMAX at 340 HP carries Eternal Zone, which lets a board of nothing but Darkness Pokémon run eight on the bench — the only card of the year that changes how many Pokémon you may have in play. 53 Crobat V draws to six when it hits the bench and becomes the most played Pokémon of the year; in English it is 104, in Darkness Ablaze. 12 Blaziken is Fire and Fighting at once, 81 Salamence VMAX prints 240, and 49 Rhyperior V at 230 HP is the biggest non-VMAX V body of 2020. 118 of the 119 reach English inside the year.
Legendary Heartbeat (S3a), 76 numbered cards — the smallest product of the year, and the one that invents something. Six cards carry an A instead of a rarity symbol: 09 Celebi, 15 Raikou, 33 Zacian, 44 Zamazenta, 50 Jirachi and 56 Rayquaza, each costing one of three different types and doing 120 to 180 for it. They are numbered inside the set rather than above it, which is why they are easy to overlook. 43 Coalossal VMAX at 330 prints 240, 46 Steelix V is 250 HP, 55 Lugia prints 250, and this is the only 7-card pack and the only 253-yen pack of the year.
Darkness Ablaze (swsh3), 201 cards — 189 numbered and twelve secrets. English’s cut of April’s Explosive Walker and June’s Mugen Zone: 77 cards of the first and 104 of the second arrive together, and the nine Japanese cards left over go into the September box instead. 104 Crobat V, 117 Eternatus VMAX at 340 and 019 Charizard V, with its VMAX at 020, lead it. There is not one Amazing Rare in it — the six cards Japan printed in July wait for November, eighteen weeks later, and arrive inside Vivid Voltage instead.
Astonishing Volt Tackle (S4), 100 numbered cards. 30 Pikachu V prints 200 for three and 31 Pikachu VMAX adds 30 for every Lightning attached to a 310 HP body — the chase card of the year in Japan, and 044 in Vivid Voltage eight weeks later. 94 Leon adds 30 to every attack for the turn, 92 Memory Capsule lets a Stage 2 use its earlier attacks, and 13 Flareon, 17 Vaporeon and 34 Jolteon exist to switch off a whole type’s Abilities while a Capsule is attached. 97 Circhester Bath and 98 Wyndon Stadium are the Stadiums, and 99–100 Wash Water and Coating Metal the last two typed Energies of the year.
Champion’s Path (swsh3.5), 80 cards — 73 numbered and seven secrets. A boxed special expansion, not a booster set, sold six weeks after Darkness Ablaze and corresponding to no single Japanese product. 074 Charizard VMAX and 079 Charizard V are both secrets, above a numbered run that ends at 073 Hop, and it splices nine cards of April’s Explosive Walker, fourteen of June’s Mugen Zone, two of July’s Legendary Heartbeat and three of September’s Astonishing Volt Tackle. It is the smallest English product of the year and the only one with no Japanese release day behind it.
Vivid Voltage (swsh4), 203 cards — 185 numbered and eighteen secrets. English’s cut of July’s Legendary Heartbeat and September’s Astonishing Volt Tackle: 77 of the first and 116 of the second. 043 Pikachu V and 044 Pikachu VMAX at 310 arrive eight weeks after Japan, and so does 141 Togekiss VMAX. The six Amazing Rares are here and nowhere else in 2020 — 009 Celebi, 050 Raikou, 082 Zacian, 102 Zamazenta, 119 Jirachi and 138 Rayquaza, the same six Japan printed in July, renumbered. The other three are not here — they wait for February 2021.
Shiny Star V (S4a), 330 cards — 190 numbered and 140 above them, the largest Japanese product of the year. Nine full-art (191–199), 104 shiny Pokémon (200–303), 23 shiny full arts (304–326) and four gold (327–330), plus two more gold cards inside the numbered run at 127 Galarian Perrserker and 147 Oranguru. 308 Charizard VMAX prints 300 damage — the highest number in 2020 — and 137 Zacian V and 139 Zamazenta V are reprinted with 168 Rusted Sword and 169 Rusted Shield beside them. 21 Reshiram, 36 Kyogre and 117 Yveltal add three Amazing Rares. Forty-one of the 330 print with no rarity symbol at all, and 191 Cara Liss, 192 Gym Trainer, 195 Skyla and 197 Poké Kid exist only as full arts — there is no plain printing of any of them in this pack.
The first product of 2020, and VMAX is already the headline. Seventy numbered cards plus sixteen secrets — eight full-art (071–078), five Hyper Rare (079–083) and three gold (084–086) — 86 kinds in all, 12 Pokémon V and 6 VMAX, with no GX anywhere. 09 Rillaboom VMAX at 330 HP, 17 Cinderace VMAX and 23 Inteleon VMAX at 320 put all three starter lines in the same pack; 31 Boltund V accelerates Energy and 70 Twin Energy pays for anything that is not a V. 165 yen is 150 plus 10% tax, five cards to a pack, thirty to a box. All 86 cards reach English twelve weeks later, inside Rebel Clash on 1 May — one of the longest waits of the year.
2020-02-07. 86 cards — 72 Pokémon, 12 Trainers and 2 Energy, 12 Pokémon V and 6 VMAX; 30 commons, 23 uncommons, 8 rares, 6 Double Rares, 3 Triple Rares, 8 full-art cards, 3 gold cards, 5 Hyper Rares; 13 Grass, 12 Water, 8 Fire, 8 Lightning, 8 Psychic, 7 Fighting, 6 Metal, 5 Darkness and 5 Colourless; 54 artists worked on it and 5ban Graphics drew 15.
The first Japanese set of the year, and it opens with the mechanic already finished. Seventy numbered cards, then eight full-art (071–078), five Hyper Rare (079–083) and three gold (084–086) — 86 kinds, 12 Pokémon V and 6 VMAX, and not one GX card. 09 Rillaboom VMAX at 330 HP and 17 Cinderace VMAX and 23 Inteleon VMAX at 320 are the three starter VMAX lines sold in the same pack. 31 Boltund V accelerates Lightning out of the discard, and 70 Twin Energy gives two Colourless to anything that is not a V — the card that keeps Stage 2 decks affordable all year. 65 Sonia, 66 Skyla, 67 Milo, 68 Turffield Stadium and 69 Training Court are the Supporters and Stadiums. All 86 reach English on 1 May, as part of Rebel Clash — twelve weeks later, and not one of them inside Sword & Shield base, which had already gone on sale in February.

Also released this year: English edition.
Shining Fates (swsh4.5), 72 numbered cards and one secret, with a Shiny Vault subset numbered above them — English’s own shiny product, one year after Shiny Star V invented the shape, and sold in boxes rather than boosters. It is where the last three Amazing Rares finally arrive — swsh4.5 prints Reshiram, Kyogre and Yveltal, the three cards Japan put inside the November reprint set — and where 35 more cards of that set land.
25th Anniversary Collection (S8a), 28 cards — the shortest Japanese set since 1996, and the product where the company stops selling VMAX as the headline. No card with the A symbol is printed after November 2020: Amazing Rare runs for two Japanese products and nine cards and then stops, which makes 2020 the only year in this almanac where a whole rarity exists for four months and never returns.
What 2020 settles is that a mechanic can be finished and still be sold. VMAX is on the cover of every one of the seven products, 60 prints from 26 names, and the format is decided by how many of them a deck can fit rather than by any new idea. The three things 2019 started are all gone by now: GX, Tag Team and Prism Star account for 0 / 0 / 0 prints in the whole year. The one new thing is a nineteen-week experiment: six Amazing Rares on 10 July, three more on 20 November, and nothing with an A on it ever again. And the year’s real product is the reprint set — 330 cards on 20 November, 140 of them secret, 215 of them cards English had already printed — which is the model every November from here is built on. The price of a pack does not move: 165 yen for five cards, thirty to a box, for six of the seven products; 253 yen for seven cards on the one that carries the Amazing Rares.
Release dates and product identities are connected to the Japanese edition release register by set code. Sources are printed per product so a reader can check the claim without trusting this page alone. Unmatched products say so instead of borrowing another edition’s citation.
S1a verified_secondaryS2 verified_secondaryS2a verified_secondaryS3 verified_secondaryS3a verified_secondaryS4 verified_secondaryS4a verified_secondaryAll 951 cards of the seven Japanese releases are listed, and none of them is reconstructed from a list of names. The counts match the printed numbering of the card database: 86 in February, 115 in March, 86 in April, 119 in June, 94 in July, 121 in September and 330 in November. 249 of them print past the end of their own set and are shown as printed rather than normalised — every one is a full-art, gold, Hyper Rare, Amazing Rare, shiny or shiny full-art card.
The Japanese printing is the first-hand source here. Type, HP, retreat cost, illustrator, every attack with its cost, and the rules text of every Ability are read from a Japanese listing of the card. English supplies two things only: the official English card name, and the verdict on whether the English printing is the same card. All 125 Trainers and 22 Energy cards carry the name printed on the Japanese card, and every Pokémon name was read from the card page rather than from a species list. Unlike every earlier year on this site, the card database has no data at all for the Sword & Shield generation in Japanese — the whole generation comes back as an empty shell — so the Japanese side of 2020 is read from a single source, and every count was checked against the printed numbering rather than against a declared total.
The secret counts are where the two sources disagree, and the printed cards win. The Japanese database reports Shiny Star V as 190 cards — the numbered set with the secrets dropped. The product is 190 numbered plus 140 above them: 330, which is what is on the card faces and what this page uses. The pattern holds across all seven: 70 + 16, 96 + 19, 70 + 16, 100 + 19, 76 + 18, 100 + 21 and 190 + 140. Where a source reports only the numbered run, this page counts what was printed.
17 cards carry no rarity at all, and that is the card, not a gap in the data. All of them are inside Shiny Star V, where the source leaves the field empty on 41 cards: 24 of those were filled from the same card reprinted in an earlier 2020 product — the same card, with the same printed rarity, read from a page that has it — and 17 are left blank because no Japanese printing of that card exists this year to read it from. They are shown blank rather than guessed at, including four cards — 11 Blipbug, 14 Gossifleur, 15 Eldegoss and 174 Professor’s Research — that are obvious by eye and still not citable.
The 9 Amazing Rares are read from the symbol on the card, not from a field. The source returns an empty rarity for every one of them, in both products that print them. They are identified by the attack name — every one is called Amazing something — and by the A printed where the rarity symbol goes: six in Legendary Heartbeat at 009, 015, 033, 044, 050 and 056, and three inside Shiny Star V at 021, 036 and 117. Nine in the year — and the cross-check is that English ends up with exactly nine cards flagged Amazing Rare, six of them in Vivid Voltage and three in Shining Fates.
The pairing verdict is stated for every card, and the number that matters this year is zero. 0 of the 951 are printed in English on the same day as Japan — that is a fact about 2020 rather than a gap in the data, because every Japanese product of the year goes on sale between eight and eighteen weeks before its English counterpart. 620 are printed in English later inside 2020, 39 are a different card of the same species as something English printed in the year — marked as such rather than folded into the count, because a card that is not the same card is not a printing — 221 are reprints of cards English had already printed, 37 wait for February 2021 and 34 never printed in English at all. Japan prints 951 cards in 2020 and English prints 909, and the difference is Champion’s Path — 80 cards with no Japanese release day behind them — set against four Japanese products whose English edition lands in 2021.
Two things are incomplete and are declared here. 0 Pokémon cards in this year carry no illustrator credit — every Pokémon card of 2020 has an artist, and that gap is zero for the first time on any page of this almanac. And Champion’s Path is counted on the English side of 2020 only: it is a boxed special expansion with no Japanese release day, its 80 cards are counted in the 909, and it is the reason the English total is not simply the Japanese total minus what had already crossed.
Seven products, 951 cards, 117 Pokémon V from 50 names and 60 VMAX from 26 names — 127 of them shiny — plus 9 Amazing Rare, with 65 full-art, 35 Hyper Rare and 24 gold as secrets, and 620 of the 951 printed in English inside 2020 — with 37 following in February 2021, 221 already printed, and 34 never following at all. 2020 is the year the shape of the game is settled rather than invented. VMAX is on all seven covers, RRR is on nothing else, and the format is played around three-Prize bodies from February to December. The one experiment is small and ends quickly: six cards with an A on 10 July, three more on 20 November, none afterwards. And the product that defines the year is the last one: 330 cards, 140 secret, 127 shiny, 215 of them reprints — the November reprint set that every year after this one is sold on. The pack price holds at 165 yen for five cards on five of the seven products — 253 yen buys seven cards exactly once, and 550 yen buys ten cards exactly once.
