Got this huge binder for my pokedex. Still missing quite a bit. Any advice on finishing it would be so helpful and appreciated.
Some are out of place, thanks to the help of others in the comments for noticing. Feel free to call out any you notice. I caught the phanpy, donphan kingdra mix up. Thanks!

Damn! Where did you get it? How many pages is it?
I thought my 16 pocket was huge how do you store that
Im finally at only needing 23 cards to finish my Pokédex binder. When I had quite a few left I looked up what sets contained most the pokemon I was missing and would buy some of those packs. When I would buy from TCGPlayer I tried to find a seller where I could buy more than 1 missing pokemon
Hats up with the odd order (looking at espeon, wooper, umbreon)
Even in death I’ll be haunted by shiny Bunnelby
Im working on one as well but mine includes the megas, the vmaxs and any gender differences. Im doing it by region that way ill have enough space if they decide to add more regional variants.
TIL you can get 6×6 binders. It looks fantastic spread on these huge pages.
Awesome! I did the same earlier this year for Gens 1-4. It made card shops and card shows so much more fun hunting thru bulk or finding rare mons (happiny, looking at you). Didn’t buy a single card online!
cool moonbreon
I just need 97! Looks cool!
I legit wanted to do a dex that also included all available forms of each pokemon too. But that seems daunting
I saw an 8×8 at a recent card show. Dude slapped it down at the trade night. Had it 100% loaded.

Dang! I didnt know they had binders this big. Im may need to upgrade my pokedex binder! Thats gonna be a chore! Labor of love I suppose.
You ever see Deep Pocket Monsters video on his Pokédex binder? Such a cool project!
Nice!! We are wrapping up our 1025 collection in Pokedex order however we are grouping evolutions together starting at the first instance of the Pokemon in Pokedex order. For example, the Pikachu line groups at #025 — Pichu (#172) and Raichu (#026) are placed there even though Pichu appears much later in the Pokédex.“ this way they are all together when looking at the binder.
Oooh pretty. I’m doing the same thing except adding in forms, megas are the biggest pain cause a fair few only have one card…
I’ve been working on my Pokédex with a 16 card per page binder. I started by tracking cards with this electronic sheet by coping the template: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NN0JvhSdCX5z7nq9JQfr9QoLgIxChkn3vrpkzVYGv-4/template/preview
When it’s finished you gotta upgrade it to full art / IR cards
This is so sick
Exactly what I’m working on rn! In awe of all those original Gen 2 and Gen 3 cards.
I just ordered myself a 12 card page binder that can hold 1200 cards. I wanted it to still fit in my storage bin with my other cards. I would have preferred this if I didn’t have to worry about moisture in my area.
I still need about 750 cards to complete my Pokedex BTW.
This is awesome!! ❤️🔥
Thats super cool, definitely a dream collection 🥰
Great job so far!!!!
I only finished my pokedex binder like last week… It has been a long journey and I hope yours is just as awesome!
Literally just ordered a 16 pocket that holds 2300 cards to rebuild my pokedex after having to sell my pc last year. Figured that size would give me room for gen 10 next year too.
This is a gorgeous binder dude, I wish you the best of luck.
Absolutely gorgeous! Arceus speed to you on your journey!
I am currently working on mine. My gf made me a custom binder with a custom checklist. Can’t wait to add more cards into mine and have it looking like yours. I started with my full arts cards first.
I did this as well but with full arts plus Megas and regional forms. It was an absolute blast and now I’m looking at printing my own cards from the TCG Pocket art to fill in some of the full arts I’m missing for example:

Finish by any means HAPPILY! How ever you can enjoy the hobby is the correct way.
The whole parallel to ouroborus with scalpers is the funny irony. I enjoy pretty cardboard that carries emotional weight due to the nostalgic value the brand carries. That’s just the boiled down truth to my situation, and many others. I will continue to enjoy cardboard because i enjoy the games. And i enjoy art.
Personally, I enjoy math and numbers, so watching pokevesting explode has been something i can maneuver comfortably. The right kind of patience will hurt the most scalpers the hardest. Buy when you are ready to buy and you see a fair deal. Right now, those are not plentiful, so attend trade nights, look for other people who are looking to engage in the hobby, not the business. Wait out the people who are trying to cash out on a quick buck. I keep calling it competitive storage. For us. Most of our PC can fit in out home. In one office the wife allows us to build an altar at 😅😅. For them its storage fees, brick and mortar overhead, ebay tax that supports more garbage ideals. Put in your due diligence and enjoy the hunt. At the end of the day the entire, like the ABSOLUTE WHOLE ENTIRE POINT of this silly game; is to catch, find, and otherwise chase all of these things in all formats.
Go get em Ash.
(edit to add ouroborus explination: if the scalpers ruin the hobby for everyone, the value dissappears, and they are left with dead inventory that might never circle back. The more they ruin the hobby, the more likely they cause permanent damage to the culture that ruins their own opportunities)
An awesome collection for sure, I just wish you’d start each generation with its own page. Seeing Treeko next to Celebi at the end of a page threw me off. With the amount of slots you have, I think there are ways you could creatively space it to have At-least the starters aligned on together.
I’m trying to build a Pokédex like this in a 16 pocket. Do y’all just use penny sleeves or something more sturdy? I don’t want them to be too flimsy or difficult to put in, but also don’t want to spend hundreds to sleeve a thousand cards.
how heavy is this binder when fully loaded? 😀
CHAAAD
I’ve got a 5×4 binder for my in progress pokedex binder, have about 50 pokemon to go and I’m so excited to finish it off!
Where did you get this binder please?!!
This Binder probably worst for your cards then a 3 ring
“completed” my dex about a month ago and it’s constantly evolving with new cards coming along, looks amazing once done, have included a separate section in one binder for the regional and variant forms
Wow! And I thought my 5×5 was pretty big! What do you have in the rest of it? I’m working on my dex using IR or other full arts for all the ones that have them. I’m about 40% done so it’ll be a while but that’s the fun of it. Your dex looks great! I love seeing all the older cards.
I’m doing a pokedex but I want a special card for each one (or holo for vintage) I’m only about 100 cards in, it’s going to cost me a fortune….
But I’ll just pick away at it over the next few years, no rush
I am doing the same thing. Just my favorite art style of said pokemon. I am going to my local card shop or TCG player or eBay.
Not sure if you’re collecting strictly by opening packs but I have seriously so much bulk that I could go through to see if I can help you with that
I too am making a Pokédex… Except I thought it was a brilliant idea to do all IRs/SIRs(yes not all Pokemon have them… YET!). It will take me a long time to complete, but I think it will be super fun along the way! Thankful Gen 5 is easy enough with BB WF sets lol.
What in the monstrosity is this…!?
