Japanese Cards Are Here — 173 Sets, 21,000 Cards, Tracked Like Everything Else
Japanese collectors have had to use a separate tool, a spreadsheet, or nothing at all. As of today PokeTrack tracks Japanese sets exactly like English ones — same sets view, same completion rings, same price alerts, same portfolio.
Switch languages in one tap
Open Sets and you’ll see an English / Japanese switcher. Pick Japanese and the whole catalogue changes: eight eras from Diamond & Pearl through Mega Evolution, 173 sets and roughly 21,000 cards. Your choice is remembered, and Your Collection shows progress in both languages side by side with a JP badge.
Real cards, real prices
Every card carries its actual Japanese artwork and its live TCGplayer market price in USD — or in your own currency if you’ve set one. Japanese rarities are kept as Japanese collectors say them: Art Rare, Special Art Rare, Ultra Rare, Mega Ultra Rare. Set names show in English with the Japanese set code beside them, so M4 reads as “Ninja Spinner · M4” rather than something you can’t search for.
The promo sets too
The big Japanese promo runs are included, not just the main expansions — SM-P, S-P, SV-P, XY-P, BW-P and more, along with the “plus” expansions like Shining Legends and GX Battle Boost, Start Deck 100, and the TCG Classic decks. If TCGplayer numbers and prices it, you can track it.
The honest limitations
The scanner is English-only for now. Point it at a Japanese card and it will tell you so rather than guess wrong — the collector number alone is ambiguous across languages, and we’d rather say “not yet” than put the wrong card in your collection. Japanese scanning is what we’re building next. A handful of obscure deck and promo products show their set code instead of a logo, because no clean logo exists for them. Market Insights — the heatmap and the PokeTrack Index — stays English-only for now. Those charts compare each card against its own price history, and Japanese history starts accruing today. In about a month there will be enough to include it properly.
Free tier works the same
A Japanese set uses one of your three free set slots exactly like an English one. Nothing about the free tier changed — there’s just a lot more to choose from.
Yes. Open Sets, switch the toggle to Japanese, and pick any of 173 Japanese sets. Completion tracking, portfolio value, price alerts and share cards all work exactly as they do for English sets.
TCGplayer market prices for Japanese singles, refreshed nightly — the same source and schedule as our English prices. They are shown in USD, or converted to your display currency if you have set one.
Not yet. Scanning a Japanese card returns a clear message rather than a guess, because a collector number on its own can match many different cards across languages. Japanese scanning is next on the list.
Yes. SM-P, S-P, SV-P, XY-P, BW-P, DP-P and PCG-P promo sets are all tracked, along with the plus expansions, Start Deck 100 and the TCG Classic decks.
Yes, identically. A Japanese set takes one of your three free slots, same as English. Pro removes the limit for both.
