Living Dex Checklist: Track All Pokémon in the National Pokédex

The National Pokédex is the complete numbered list of Pokémon species from every generation — currently 1,025 entries from Bulbasaur (#001) through the latest Gen 9 species.

For physical card collectors, the National Dex is a natural organizing principle: one slot in a binder per species, often grouped by generation. You are not trying to own every printing of Charizard from every set — you are trying to represent every species at least once.

A living dex checklist is an active progress list: you mark each species as obtained rather than only reading a static numbered list. In the TCG hobby, most collectors simplify the goal to one card per species from any set, language, holo status, or year.

Pokédex Checklist is built for that rule. Optional card details (language, rarity, reverse holo, 1st edition) let you record which copy you counted — but the core metric is species captured out of 1,025.

• Casual binder collectors — one card per Pokémon without chasing every secret rare in every set.
• Returning fans — discover species you missed after stopping at an older generation.
• Trade-show collectors — offline search and quick gap-finding on a phone.
• Spreadsheet migrants — CSV import/export without re-clicking hundreds of rows.

Not aimed at set completionists or in-game shiny hunters — though you can repurpose the list if you accept the one-species rule.

1. 1

   Define your rule

   Decide that one National Dex species equals one checkbox — any set, language, or print counts once.

2. 2

   Open a species checklist

   Use a web checklist with all 1,025 species, search, and generation filters so you can work era by era.

3. 3

   Mark species as you collect

   Check off each Pokémon when you add its card to your binder; use filters to find gaps quickly.

4. 4

   Back up and share progress

   Export CSV for backups, share progress images for motivation, and optionally sync to the cloud with Premium.

5. 5

   Share progress images

   Milestone graphics help you stay motivated and connect with other collectors online.

6. 6

   Consider Premium for the full list

   Cloud sync keeps one source of truth across phone, tablet, and desktop when you track all 1,025 species.

Pokédex Checklist is a free PWA with all 1,025 species visible, search, generation and type filters, offline support, and CSV import/export.

Free tier: up to 250 captured species in local storage. Existing progress above the cap is preserved — only new captures beyond 250 require Premium.

Premium: all 1,025 species, cloud sync, eight-language names, leaderboard ranking, ad-free. See pricing.

When you check a species, optionally record card language, rarity, reverse holo, and 1st edition. Card-details filters help you query your collection (e.g. Japanese holo pulls in Gen 1).

See the FAQ for rarity definitions and default card settings.

The public global leaderboard ranks collectors by species captured and completion %. Appearing on the board requires Premium cloud sync. Trainer names are anonymized by default.
