Frequently Asked Questions

Are Korean Pokémon cards official?

Yes, Korean Pokémon cards are officially released by The Pokémon Company Korea and are 100% original.

What is the difference between Korean and English cards?

Language : The cards are printed entirely in Korean.
Price : Korean cards are often more affordable than English or Japanese cards.
Availability : Not all sets released in Japan or the West will also be released in Korea.

Can you play with Korean Pokémon cards?

In official Play! Pokémon tournaments the allowed card language is set per region. In Europe those are English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Korean is not one of them. For casual play and for collecting, Korean cards are of course perfectly fine.

Are all Korean Pokémon cards the same quality as English/Japanese ones?

Not entirely. The card stock of Korean cards is slightly thinner than that of Japanese cards, and the holos are glossier instead of the textured Japanese finish. Most collectors will not notice, and Korean cards are perfectly fine to collect and to play with, but if you want the very best print quality, Japanese cards are the better choice.

Pokemon Korean

This page holds our Korean Pokémon cards. They are official releases from The Pokémon Company, printed entirely in Hangul, with the same artwork as the Japanese version.

That is useful if you are working through a Japanese set: the card list and the numbering line up, so you can use a Japanese checklist to see what you are still missing. What you cannot do is go by an English set list — Korea follows Japan, and those two do not line up.

Above you will find all our Korean cards. The condition is listed with every card.

What makes Korean Pokémon cards different?

Korean Pokémon cards are official releases from The Pokémon Company, printed entirely in Hangul. They follow the Japanese structure rather than the English one: a Korean booster box holds 30 packs of 5 cards, just like a Japanese one, where an English box holds 36 packs of 10 cards.

That makes Korea interesting if you are working through a Japanese set list: it is largely the same card list in another language. But do note that it is not a copy. Korea has its own set codes, its own release history and even a few sets that exist only in Korean. So search by the Korean set name and not by the Japanese one.

The set and the condition are listed with every card above.
