Have you ever found yourself frantically digging through binders, trying to remember if you pulled that elusive Full Art Charizard, or what on earth it’s even worth? Ever felt like you need your own Professor Oak just to keep track of your collection? Well, you’ve come to the right place!
Welcome to Card Codex, the digital Pokédex for your real-life Pokémon TCG collection and so much more! We’re Tom and Oli, two lifelong Pokémon fans who decided to channel our passion (and mild obsession) into creating the ultimate resource for collectors, players, and investors just like you.
Our Origin Story: A Wild Idea Appeared!
Like many of you, our journey with Pokémon started years ago, battling our way through the Elite Four on our Game Boys and trading shiny cardboard in the schoolyard. As we grew, so did our collections, and we quickly realised that managing them was becoming a quest in itself.
We wanted a single, reliable place to view every card, check real-time market prices, and geek out over the latest news. We looked around, and while there were some good resources, nothing was quite the all-in-one tool we dreamed of. So, we decided to build it ourselves! It was a critical capture, a bold move, but we knew it was our destiny. Card Codex was born!
What is Card Codex?
Think of Card Codex as your personal Pokémon Center, data lab, and news hub all rolled into one. Our goal is to create the most comprehensive and user-friendly TCG database on the web.
Here’s what you can do right now:
- The Ultimate Card Database: Our ever-growing database is meticulously organised with every Pokémon TCG card you can imagine. We’re talking every set, every promo, every secret rare. It’s like having the entire Pokémon world at your fingertips!

The Future of Card Codex: It’s Super Effective!
We are constantly working to make Card Codex even better. Think of our current site as the Charmander stage – full of potential and raring to go! We have a whole evolution chart of features planned, from advanced collection management tools to deck-building simulators.
And while our heart is currently in the world of Pokémon, our ambitions are bigger! We plan to expand the Card Codex to include other amazing trading card games. Who knows which TCG universe we’ll explore next?
