How binder placeholders work

Print the sheets, cut out the cards and slide each one into its binder sleeve. Your binder shows the full Pokédex in order from day one, and you swap each placeholder for the real card as your collection grows.

Every placeholder is numbered and shows the artwork and generation, so gaps are easy to spot at a glance.

The English National Pokédex pack includes 1,025 placeholders in A4 and US Letter PDF layouts. Cards measure 63 × 88 mm when printed at 100% scale. Check each listing for its included cards and language.

Languages and set-specific pages

The complete National Pokédex pack is available with official English, French or German names. Each language edition is a 115-page PDF with 9 cards per page, sized for standard 63 × 88 mm sleeves, with artwork, the National Pokédex number and the generation on every card.

Collectors who organize by expansion rather than by Pokédex number can use the set-specific packs instead.

Master set checklists by expansion

Set-specific packs work as a printable master set checklist: one placeholder per card in the set, in set order. There are packs for Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield and Mega Evolution sets, plus a 117-card Charizard master set. See every pack and its card count on the master set binder placeholders page.

Collecting a whole era? The Mega Evolution ultimate bundle covers all six sets with 979 placeholders in one download.

Custom placeholder sets

Collecting one Pokémon or trainer across every set? The custom master set listing builds placeholders for every English card of the character you choose, in a colour edition and a black and white ink-saver edition, plus a printable checklist. The international edition also covers Japanese and Chinese releases.

Custom sets are made to order, not instant downloads. Both listings state delivery within 48 hours through Etsy Messages. Print on A4 or US Letter at 100% scale. Need another set, language or layout? Ask through Etsy before ordering.
