What this is
How many Pokémon cards were made in the year to March 2025: between about 10.1 and 11.2 billion.
How it’s built
- Subtract the company's March 2024 total (64.8bn, to the nearest 0.1bn) from its March 2025 total ('over 75 billion').
- If 75 is rounded down to the whole billion, the true year is 10.1–11.2bn.
What we assumed
- 'Over 75 billion' is a floor to the whole billion.Earlier totals were given to 0.1bn; this one is round. In the same update the company rounded other counts down to the nearest ten, which supports a coarser floor.
Sanity check
The widely reported '10.2 billion' equals 75.0 minus 64.8 exactly; no company page states it. Either way, the year was below the 11.9bn of the year before.
Where it comes from

- Change against year to March 2024: -15.8 to -5.1%
- Basis: produced (製造)
- Mar 2024 true in [64.8, 64.9) (A, three captures)
- Mar 2025 true in [75.0, 75.0+r)
- FY3/25 in (75.0-64.9, 75.0+r-64.8): r=0.1 -> (10.1,10.3)
- r=1 -> (10.1,11.2)
