Pokémon Coloring Cards

Start typing a Pokémon's name or Pokédex number and pick it from the list. The card goes straight onto the sheet with its HP, type, ability and two attacks, plus a coloring outline traced from its official artwork. Add as many as you like, then press Print. There is nothing to install and no account to make.

Yes. Each card comes out 2.42 by 3.39 inches, which is 97% of a real trading card (2.5 by 3.5 inches). The 3% is what makes room for the cutting gaps between the nine cards on a page; printed at 100% scale they sit in a card sleeve alongside real cards.

It is almost always the print dialog's scale setting. Set it to 100% rather than "Fit to page" or "Shrink to fit", and turn off headers and footers so nothing is pushed out of place. The sheet is laid out for US Letter paper; on A4 the three columns are a shade wider than the printable area, so choose "Fit to printable area" there and the cards come out slightly under real size.

All 1025 of them, from Bulbasaur to the newest generation. Search by name or by Pokédex number, tap one of the popular picks, or press Random to be given one. Matches appear as you type, so you do not need the spelling exactly right.

From PokéAPI, the open Pokémon database. HP is worked out from the Pokémon's base HP and its evolution stage, and the two attacks are real level-up moves: a move's power sets its energy cost and damage, and its side effect — burning, draining, hitting several times — becomes the attack text. The type decides the card color, weakness and resistance.

Yes. Press Blank card and you get a card with empty spaces for a name, HP, attacks and energy, ready to invent a Pokémon of your own. Blank and finished cards can share the same sheet, so a page can be part coloring, part drawing.

Yes. Switch to Placeholders and pick a generation, or type a range of Pokédex numbers. Every Pokémon in it is laid out in order as a simple card with its picture, name and number, in color, with dashed lines to cut along. Print them small, 16 to a page, or at card size, nine to a page, so each sheet fills one page of a 9-pocket binder, ready to swap out as you collect the real cards.

Outline detail has three settings. Simple keeps only the main shapes, which suits younger children and thick crayons; Detailed keeps the fine lines for careful coloring; Normal sits between them. The change applies to the whole sheet, and the tracing happens on your own device rather than on a server.

Your sheet is saved in your own browser, so it is still there when you come back. Nothing is uploaded: the only things fetched are each Pokémon's details from PokéAPI and its artwork, and those are kept on your device so a card you have already added still works offline.

No. This is an unofficial fan tool for making cards to color in, cut out and play with at home. The cards are not tournament legal and are not for sale. Pokémon and Pokémon character names are trademarks of Nintendo, Creatures and Game Freak.
