What is a Pokémon TCG set?
A set (also called an expansion) is a self-contained release of Pokémon TCG cards, typically shipped as booster packs, theme decks, and elite trainer boxes. A new set releases roughly every three months. Each set has a unique code (e.g. sv7 for Stellar Crown, base1 for the 1999 Base Set), a release date, a printed total, and usually a handful of secret rares numbered beyond the printed total.
Sets are grouped into series / eras named after the headline mechanic of the time - Scarlet & Violet (current), Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, X & Y, Black & White, HeartGold SoulSilver, Diamond & Pearl / Platinum, EX Series, and the classic Base / Jungle / Fossil / Neo run. Era matters a lot for pricing: older sets are scarcer, and era-defining chase cards (Base Set Charizard, Evolving Skies Umbreon VMAX alt-art) anchor their entire series' secondary market.
The highest chase-card value in the current index belongs to Holon Phantoms at $6000.00 (Mewtwo ★).

Pokémon TCG set FAQ
Click any question to expand.
How many Pokémon TCG sets are there?
Catchinary indexes 172 English-language sets covering 20,237 cards from Base Set (1999) through 2026. New expansions typically drop every three months.
Which Pokémon TCG set is the most valuable?
By single-card ceiling, Holon Phantoms currently tops the index at $6000.00 (Mewtwo ★). Historically, Base Set 1st Edition holds the highest graded-card ceiling thanks to Charizard, and recent alt-art runs like Evolving Skies and Crown Zenith carry high market value per booster box.
What's a secret rare?
A card numbered above the printed total of a set. If a set has "198/197" on the bottom of the card, it's the first secret rare. These are short-printed by design and are usually the most expensive pulls from a given set.
What does each set page show?
Each set page lists every card in the set with its number, rarity, illustrator, and current TCGplayer market price, plus a Top 5 chase-cards strip, a filterable gallery (sort by price / rarity / number, filter by rarity), and a set-specific FAQ. Prices refresh on the pokemontcg.io cadence.
How do I find cards from a specific set?
Click any set tile on this page, use the filter above, or jump straight to a URL like /sets/sv1 (Scarlet & Violet base), /sets/base1 (1999 Base Set), or /sets/swsh7 (Evolving Skies).
Are Japanese-exclusive sets indexed?
Not yet. Catchinary mirrors the English-language data pokemontcg.io provides. Japan-only expansions (e.g. Scarlet ex & Violet ex base, Ruler of the Black Flame Japanese) are on the roadmap once a second data source is added.
