Completion Tips
Pokemon 151 was distributed through ETBs, booster bundles, and collection boxes only. The Pokedex-ordered main set (1-165) is satisfying to complete and see all 151 Pokemon lined up. The SAR and IR tiers are where the serious value lives. The Charizard ex SAR is worth buying as a single unless you enjoy the hunt.

- 1 Scan your 151 pulls to immediately sort by rarity tier
- 2 Track all 151 base Pokemon cards plus the chase subset
- 3 Prioritize Special Art Rare cards — Charizard, Mew, and Alakazam lead value
