Ninth Pocket

Chasing a Pokémon TCG master set? Track it like one. Ninth Pocket is a collection tracker built for English Pokémon TCG master-set collectors — people working through a binder card by card, variant by variant. A checklist you can trust. PICK YOUR FINISH LINE • Complete Set — one of every numbered card, including secret rare cards • Master Set — every variant you can pull from the set’s booster packs • Grand Master Set — every catalogued variant across pack and non-pack releases Each tier has fixed boundaries, so your completion number means something. For sets with 1st Edition printings, track Unlimited and 1st Edition separately at Complete or Master tier, or together at Grand Master tier. TRACK INDIVIDUAL VARIANTS Holos, reverse holos, stamps, secret rares, and other printings are tracked individually according to your chosen tier. Your completion percentage comes from that tier’s exact checklist. BUILT FOR SPEED Use a fast tap-through grid to mark a binder page, toggle variants, and filter to missing or owned cards. Changes update instantly; if your connection drops, card toggles stay queued and sync after you reconnect. SHARE YOUR WANT LIST Publish a binder and share one link showing exactly which cards you still need. It’s useful for trade partners, vendors, and friends helping with the hunt. Everything stays private until you choose to publish it. GO BEYOND OFFICIAL SETS Track artist collections, favorite-Pokémon collections, themed checklists, and subsets such as trainer galleries. Free to use. No ads or in-app tracking. See ninthpocket.com/privacy. Pokémon and related names are trademarks of their respective owners.
