Catch ‘Em All, Scan ‘Em All—Pokémon TCG Recognition Is Live!

We're excited to announce that Card Clerk officially supports Pokémon! This highly requested addition is now live, helping retailers efficiently process, inventory, and price their Pokémon singles.

What's New

Complete Pokémon TCG Recognition: Card Clerk now identifies Pokémon cards across all sets, from the latest Scarlet & Violet era expansions back to the classic Base Set. And with Day Zero readiness, you can scan new cards the moment they arrive.

Variant Detection: Card Clerk accurately distinguishes between the wide array of card variants, essential for correct pricing but often challenging to identify manually. Our recognition models cover everything from early print runs (1st Edition, Shadowless) and artistic styles (Full Arts, Trainer Gallery cards) to the latest rarity classifications (like Illustration & Special Illustration Rares, modern ACE SPECs, and Shiny Rares).

Why It Matters

This update enables Pokémon retailers and distributors to:

• Process Collections Faster: What once took hours of manual identification can now be completed in minutes using automated card recognition. Spend less time processing trade-ins and new inventory, freeing up time for what matters most: engaging with your community and organizing store events.
• Ensure Price Accuracy: With accurate card identification, you can confidently price your Pokémon singles using integrated, real-time market data from multiple sources. Build customer trust with transparent, fair pricing.
• Reduce Errors: Eliminate the risk of misidentifying similar-looking cards, missing valuable variants, or making costly inventory mistakes during busy periods. Card Clerk provides both accurate recognition and reliable data capture, so you can have confidence in your inventory.
• Expand Your Singles Business: Faster, more accurate processing means you can confidently expand your Pokémon singles inventory without adding hours to your staff's workload.

Feature Access

Pokémon recognition is automatically available to all Card Clerk users. We've seamlessly integrated this capability into the existing system - no manual updates needed.

Simply open Card Clerk and start scanning your Pokémon cards. The system will instantly recognize them with the same precision and efficiency you rely on for Magic: The Gathering. Your workflow remains unchanged but now extends to the vast world of Pokémon.

Looking Ahead

This addition is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting retailers across the full spectrum of trading card games. Our development priorities are guided by feedback from retailers like you, focusing on features that save time, improve accuracy, and help build communities. We're working on adding recognition for more TCGs and developing new features, and we can't wait to share more with you soon.

We're so grateful for your continued support and, as always, if you have questions about Card Clerk, please reach out to us at contactus@card-clerk.com.
