Pokédex Master Set
The dex as a master set: one card of every Pokémon in generations 1 and 2 — 251 of them — each priced at its dearest printing, so the page opens on what the full run actually looks like. 251 cards, $81,690.92 in total.
The whole dexWhat a Pokédex master set is
One card for every Pokémon in the dex, generations 1 and 2 — no promos, no trainer cards, no duplicates of the same species. The run is as wide as the dex and as deep as your printing choice, which is the one decision that changes the price.
The number on this page is the dearest printing of each species, so it shows the run at its most complete. The lowest honest budget for the same 251 Pokémon is $1,324.79 — the most affordable card of each one. That is the floor today, and it comes down as more sets are added.
Explore the Pokédex run
This guide covers every card in the set, with its current ungraded price — the rarity and cost shape behind it, a visual binder in collector order, a free Grand Master Set Checklist and Printable Binder Placeholders to track every single one, and keep your binder organized.

Your Pokédex Master Set Questions, Answered
What counts as a Pokédex master set?
One card of every Pokémon in the dex. Not every printing of every Pokémon — that is a species master set, and there are 251 of those behind this page.
Why is the page priced at the dearest printing?
Because that is what the full run looks like. The cheapest way to finish the same 251 Pokémon is $1,324.79, which is the floor this page states rather than hides.
Which generations are covered?
Kanto (1–151) and Johto (152–251). More generations are on the way, and each one lowers the cheapest-fill cost because it adds cheaper printings of Pokémon already in the dex.
How much does the cheapest possible run cost?
$1,324.79 — the most affordable card of each of the 251 Pokémon. Budgets below that cannot make a master set at all.
Method. Every figure here is the ungraded market value from PriceCharting, sold-comp data, 2026-10-24 — refreshed monthly. The total is one copy of each of the 251 numbered Standard cards, summed; the PSA 10 figure is unconditioned PSA 10 market values for the same 251 cards.
