The total number of Pokémon cards produced worldwide since launch, as stated by The Pokémon Company

What this is

The total number of Pokémon cards produced worldwide since launch, as stated by The Pokémon Company: more than 64.8 billion by the end of March 2024.

How it’s built

1. Read from the 'Pokémon in Figures' page on the company's Japanese corporate site, in an archived copy from July 2024. It reads 'cumulative cards produced: over 64.8 billion'.

What we assumed

• 'Over 64.8 billion' is treated as 64.8 billion.The page states a floor to the nearest 100 million, so the true figure is between 64.8 and 64.9 billion.

Sanity check

That is 11.9bn more than a year earlier, the largest single year in the series.
