All 21 Sets

Pokemon TCG Pocket sets are listed here in the order they actually released, from the very first set, A1 Genetic Apex, through to the most recent one. That is 21 sets in total once you count the two Promo sets alongside the 19 main releases, and this page shows all of them on one screen instead of splitting the list across several pages, so you can scan the full timeline without clicking through.

Every release date on this page comes from the set data itself rather than being typed into the text, so the newest set moves to the top on its own. Each set card shows its release date and total card count together, so the newest set, and how many cards it actually added, is visible at a glance.

Sets fall into two separate series, A and B, and they're grouped that way on this page rather than shown as one flat, undifferentiated list. Series A ran from the original A1 Genetic Apex through the last of the A-numbered sets. Series B opened with B1 Mega Rising, which introduced Mega Evolution as a new mechanic not present in series A — so a set's series isn't just a naming convention, it can signal a real mechanical shift in what the cards in that set actually do.

Within each series, sets alternate between larger numbered releases (A1, A2, B1, B2...) and smaller side-sets marked with an "a" or "b" suffix (A1a, A1b, B3b...), which tend to focus on a narrower theme or a smaller batch of new Pokémon rather than a full new set's worth of content.

The gap between releases isn't random. Smaller side-sets tend to land roughly a month after the set before them, while the larger numbered sets space out closer to two or three months apart. That pattern is why this page sorts newest-first — the set most players are actually asking about is either the one that just released or the one whose date has just been confirmed, not something buried at the bottom of a long alphabetical list.

Because each set only has its own packs and its own pull-rate table, a new set release also means a fresh decision about which pack is actually worth opening — a question this page links straight into rather than making you cross-reference two different pages to answer.

The two Promo sets are kept visually separate from the numbered sets on this page because they work on a different system entirely. Cards in a Promo set are not obtained by opening a paid or premium-currency pack the way every other set's cards are — they come from missions, research tasks, or event rewards instead, so there's no pack to buy and no pull odds to calculate for them.

That distinction matters for planning: if a card only exists in a Promo set, no amount of pack-opening will produce it, and the path to owning it runs through whatever mission or event is currently active rather than through the pull-odds tools built for the numbered sets.

Where can I see every Pokémon TCG Pocket set in one place?

This page lists all 21 sets in a single, newest-first list rather than splitting them across multiple pages or requiring a search — every main numbered set plus both Promo sets are shown together with their release date and card count.

When is the next set expected?

Based on the release pattern so far, smaller side-sets tend to follow roughly a month after the previous set, while full numbered sets space out closer to two or three months. This page is sorted newest-first specifically so the most recently confirmed release date is always the first thing visible, without needing to check a separate announcement page.

How do I get Promo cards if I can't buy their pack?

Promo sets don't have a purchasable pack at all — their cards come from missions, research tasks, or limited-time events instead. If a card only appears in a Promo set, pulling packs from the numbered sets will never produce it; the only route is whatever mission or event is currently offering it.
