Pokémon card size

Check Pokémon card dimensions, choose standard sleeves, and compare the reference size with Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

Pokémon card

A Pokémon card measures 63 × 88 mm (2.48 × 3.46 in), a reference size taken from Dragon Shield’s sleeve compatibility rather than a card measurement.

Sleeves and custom printing

Use standard-size sleeves for regular Pokémon cards. A perfect-fit inner sleeve sits beneath a standard outer sleeve; check the product’s game compatibility when combining them.

For custom printing, use the printer’s finished-cut and bleed template. A poker-size print product is a nearby rectangle, so its artwork canvas may differ from the Pokémon reference above. The pixel guide explains trim and upload sizes.

Questions

Are Pokémon cards the same size as Magic cards?

The displayed metric references share 63 × 88 mm. Pokémon’s reference comes from sleeve compatibility and Magic’s from an approximate rules statement; the match does not establish identical production cuts or thickness.

Are Pokémon cards bigger than Yu-Gi-Oh cards?

The Pokémon reference is 4 × 2 mm (0.16 × 0.08 in) larger than the Yu-Gi-Oh reference, 59 × 86 mm. The smaller Japanese sleeve class used for Yu-Gi-Oh does not cover Pokémon’s reference size.

What size is a jumbo Pokémon card?

Jumbo promotional cards vary by release. Measure yours before choosing a holder. Ultra Pro’s oversized toploader supports items up to 3.5 × 5.13 in (88.9 × 130.18 mm); compare your card with that limit.
