All Pokémon TCG Sets In Order [Full English List]

I am a big Pokémon nerd, I have been collecting ever since my dad took me to the local newsagents here in the UK in 1999 to pick up a Base Set booster pack that luckily had a holo Machamp inside.

Now, many, many years later, I am collecting with my children, experience new Pokémon, new illustrators and new card types that still blow my mind.

With that I am on a long, and very expensive mission to collect one pack from every single set, so I've put together a list (not including promo sets) to help myself manage that mission, but to also help you on your Pokémon TCG journey too.
