ReportedA press relay of a company figure; the company page itself did not render for us, so it is graded Reported.

Found in one pass only. The research team reads every source twice, independently; this record turned up in one reading but not the other, so treat it as less certain than its grade.

How it’s built

Reported in the press, citing The Pokémon Company's own "Pokémon in Figures" page.
Differencing TPC's published cumulative totals gives a range of about 9.0–10.9 billion for the same year, consistent with the reported figure.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

Cards produced is not cards sold: stock in the channel and reprints both sit inside it.
