Pokémon TCG Online Property Research & Documentation¶

“Archetypes” are the basic, abstract unit of an “item” in Pokémon TCG Online. They are used for cards, products, items, and just about anything that a player can possess in the game.

Archetypes consist of GUID and a set of attribute:value pairs, and can be split into three broad categories:

Cards
Products / Items
Miscellaneous

This document describes the various architecture attributes that are observable within the Pokémon TCG Online game client. They describe properties and attributes of Pokémon cards, products, and miscellaneous inventory items that players may hold.

Each section is titled as:: number - name (canonicalName) [type]

Where the number is the ID of each attribute, and the name is either a deduced or decompiled name for the property. In some cases where I have decided on a name that is not the canonical name for the property, and a canonical name is available, that name will be present as (canonicalName) in the section title.

The type of the field will be denoted as [type], where type is any one of:

str - string
int - number
bool - true/false flag
I18N - string that may contain $$$token$$$ lookup codes that can be decoded to specific locales.
JSON - JSON data encoded directly as a string. See each property for details on the specific shape of the data.

And in some cases, the field will be documented as #UNREAD, which signifies that although the attribute is present, the Pokémon TCG Online game client did not, at the time of investigation, actually attempt to read or make use of that value.

Global Properties¶

Miscellaneous archetypes only set property 10140 (name), so global properties are effectively ones that include everything common between Cards and Products.

10020 - assetName (image) [str]¶

Refers to the image asset name for this archetype. Not always set, this overrides the default lookup path of ${archKey}/${cardNo}

Examples:

Cards: '177xy', '148it', '114_gold', '017a'
Products: 'skyguardianxy10pcd', 'packs/SM8BoosterBase', 'bw2toxictricks', 'packs/SM8Booster6Card'

10090 - hidden [bool]¶

Referred to by the game as “hidden”, always set to False for cards, and Set to False when set for products.

10140 - name (pieName) [I18N]¶

LocalizableText representing the name of the card or product.

Examples:

Cards: $$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.data.archetypes.pokemon.LeafeonGX.Name$$$
Products: $$$product.coin.ChikoritaCoin.name$$$

10190 - setSortOrder [int]¶

Arbitrary digit representing the general sort order of the expansion/set the card/product belongs to, if set. Not always the same for all archetypes belonging to a set, but usually is.

Exceptions:

XY11 has some products tagged as 58 (XY10) instead of its own 59.
TK8A has some products tagged as 53 (TK8B), instead of its own 52.
TwentiethAnn has two products tagged as 56 (XY9), instead of its own 57.

200550 - rarity [str]¶

Represents the rarity of an item.

Values:

Products: {'RareHolo', 'medium', 'PromoExclusive'}
Cards: {'Common', 'RarePrime', 'Rare', 'Legendary', 'RareRainbow', 'RarePromo', 'Uncommon', RareUltra', 'RareHolo', 'Shining', 'RareSecret', 'Prism', 'RareHoloGX', 'RareHoloEX', 'Ace', 'BreakRare'}

For cards, the values are interpreted directly as the card’s symbolic rarity. Some cards without symbols, e.g. Dragon Vault, have this field set to “RarePromo”.

For products:

“PromoExclusive” for certain deckboxes, coins, sleeves, etc.
“RareHolo” for “Rare Holo Chest”.
“medium” for many coins, deckboxes, sleeves, etc.

200580 - archKey (setKey) [str]¶

The name of the set this archetype is associated with. This not always set, but since archetypes are always distributed in bundles associated with a set, it is always possible to identify the archKey of an archetype.

When this field is set, it is never different from the bundle it is distributed with.

Values:

{'AvatarItems', 'BW1', 'BW10', 'BW11', 'BW2', 'BW3', 'BW4', 'BW5', 'BW6', 'BW7',
 'BW8', 'BW9', 'BW_Energy', 'COL', 'DM', 'DV', 'Free_Energy', 'HGSS1', 'HGSS2',
 'HGSS3', 'HGSS4', 'HGSS_Energy','Promo_BW', 'Promo_HGSS', 'Promo_SM',
 'Promo_XY', 'RSP', 'RewardItems', 'SL', 'SM1', 'SM2', 'SM3', 'SM4', 'SM5',
 'SM6', 'SM7', 'SM8', 'SM9', 'SM_Energy', 'TATM', 'TK10A', 'TK10B', 'TK5A',
 'TK5B', 'TK6A', 'TK6B', 'TK7A', 'TK7B', 'TK8A', 'TK8B', 'TK9A', 'TK9B',
 'TwentiethAnn', 'XY0', 'XY1', 'XY10', 'XY11', 'XY12', 'XY2', 'XY3', 'XY4',
 'XY5', 'XY6', 'XY7', 'XY8', 'XY9', 'XY_Energy'}

202220 - dateAdded [int] #UNREAD¶

From around the time after SM4 was released to as of now (SM9), this reflects the time this archetype was added to PTCGO, in milliseconds.

Example:

1525365900000 is 2018-05-13.

The PTCGO client does not read this value.

Card Properties¶

Global Card Properties¶

10000 - guid [str]¶

GUID of the card. Always set, and always matches the Archetype property of the same name.

Example:

(‘2fe26716-3c2e-422a-8553-3db32fe5d3b2’, ‘SM9 #112 Mimikyu [ph]’)

200300 - cardType [str]¶

The type of Pokémon card. Always set for cards.

Values:

{'Energy', 'Pokemon', 'LegendHalf', 'TrainerCard'}

200310 - rulesText [I18N] {Trainers & Energy}¶

LocalizableText string that describes the special rules for this Trainer or Energy card. Special rules for Pokémon are always described in 200740 - abilities [JSON] instead.

Takes the form of a LocalizableText string, e.g.:

$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.rules.abilities.trainers.SM9.BlackMarketPrismStar.GameText$$$

Which localizes to:

“When a {D} Pokémon (yours or your opponent’s) that has any {D} Energy attached to it is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent’s attack, that player takes 1 fewer Prize card.nnWhenever any player plays an Item or Supporter card from their hand, prevent all effects of that card done to this Stadium card.”

200360 - teamAffinity [JSON]¶

Represents a list of team affiliations this card has, which is usually just one. However, “HyperGear” is also considered a team here, so it makes an appearance.

Values:

{['TeamFlare'],
 ['TeamPlasma'],
 ['TeamMagma'],
 ['TeamFlare', 'HyperGear'],
 ['TeamAqua']}

200400 - leagueCard [bool]¶

Set true when this card is an Organized Play card. This almost always implies that ‘issue’ is “op”.

Exceptions: * 8a8366e3-9ba5-4b36-af7f-613731a445a6 BW11 #109 Bianca [ph]

200520 - __unusedBoolA [bool] #UNREAD¶

Unknown boolean, not used in any way by the PC game client.

There is seemingly no compelling overall pattern, but it appears to be set for cards in the following sets:

HGSS1 (Some trainers and energies)
HGSS_Energy
HGSS2 (Some trainers)
COL (Energies)
BW1 (Some Pokémon, Some Trainers, and Energies)
BW_Energy
TK5B (Energies, some Pokémon, some items)
TK5A (Energies, some Pokémon, some items)
Promo_BW (Various Pokémon, OP trainers)
BW2
BW3
XY_Energy
XY1 (Energy)
RSP
TwentiethAnn (Energy)
Promo_XY
SM_Energy
TK10A (Energy)
TK10B (Energy)

A full list can be found in 200520 - __unusedBoolA [bool] #UNREAD.

200560 - subRarity [str]¶

Effective rarity set for certain cards; contrast with contrast with 200550 - rarity [str].

It is set especially for Dragon Vault cards which are otherwise “RarePromo”. Also set for a handful of “RareSecret” cards from HGSS1 and XY7 (five in total) whose rarity is otherwise “RareSecret”.

Possible Values:

{'RareHolo', 'Uncommon', 'RareUltra', 'Rare', 'Common'}

Notable Examples:

('HGSS1 #123 Gyarados [std]', 'RareSecret', 'RareHolo')
('HGSS1 #123 Gyarados [ph]', 'RareSecret', 'RareHolo')
('XY7 #98 MRayquazaEX [std]', 'RareSecret', 'RareUltra')
('XY7 #96 PrimalKyogreEX [std]', 'RareSecret', 'RareUltra')
('XY7 #97 PrimalGroudonEX [std]', 'RareSecret', 'RareUltra')

200610 - foilEffect [str]¶

For foil cards, this describes the visual effect of the foil.

Values:

{'BWEtch', 'LunalaEtch', 'SunPillar', 'FlatSilver', 'None', 'SunBeam',
'Squares', 'AngledPillars', 'Galaxy', 'SunLava', 'XYEtch', 'SolgaleoEtch',
'Rainbow', 'Cosmos', 'Tinsel', 'EtchedSunPillar', 'Cracked_Ice'}

It can be unset (this is not a Holo card), or it can be set literally to the string ‘None’. It is always set if 200620 - foilMask [str] is set.

200620 - foilMask [str]¶

For foil cards, this describes the foil mask type. It is always set if 200610 - foilEffect [str] is set. Similarly, it can also feature the literal string ‘None’.

Values:

{'None', 'Reverse', 'Etched', 'Holo', 'Thatch'}

200630 - shortName (cardName) [str]¶

This is an unformatted English internal name for each card.

Examples:

JolteonGX
ZoroarkBREAK
ShiningLugia
DittoPrismStar
ProfessorOaksNewTheory
TeamAquasMuk

200740 - abilities [JSON]¶

JSON list of abilities associated with this card. All of the subfield names are taken directly from the original source; as opposed to reconstructed or guessed like most of the property names. As such, they should be fairly self-explanatory.

Example for Pikachu & Zekrom:

[
  {
    "cost": {
      "Lightning": 3
    },
    "damage": 150,
    "title": "$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.rules.abilities.attacks.SM9.PikachuZekromGX.FullBlitz.Title$$$",
    "gameText": "$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.rules.abilities.attacks.SM9.PikachuZekromGX.FullBlitz.GameText$$$",
    "abilityID": "b0959832-256c-44c2-aff8-4e6f2f6088dc",
    "amountOperator": "",
    "abilityType": "Attack",
    "conditionExceptions": [],
    "sortOrder": 1,
    "costPrefixes": [],
    "costSuffixes": []
  },
  {
    "cost": {
      "Lightning": 3
    },
    "damage": 200,
    "title": "$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.rules.abilities.attacks.SM9.PikachuZekromGX.TagBoltGX.Title$$$",
    "gameText": "$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.rules.abilities.attacks.SM9.PikachuZekromGX.TagBoltGX.GameText$$$",
    "abilityID": "db5be543-02ef-475d-bea9-c581a86d9205",
    "amountOperator": "",
    "abilityType": "Attack",
    "conditionExceptions": [],
    "sortOrder": 2,
    "buttonOverride": "abilityGX",
    "costPrefixes": [],
    "costSuffixes": [
      "iconPlus"
    ]
  },
  {
    "title": "$$$playmat.directaction.label.play$$$",
    "gameText": "$$$playmat.prompt.sm7_83.fallingstar_bench$$$",
    "abilityID": "03831a39-7e80-405d-b959-70df2fa96c3f",
    "abilityType": "PlayAbility"
  }
]

The third ability there represents a more abstract ability; the gameText is “Play this Pokémon onto your Bench.”

Example for an Energy card (Sun & Moon Grass Energy):

[
  {
    "title": "$$$playmat.directaction.label.play$$$",
    "gameText": "$$$playmat.prompt.sm8_165.mountainpass.play$$$",
    "abilityID": "807d7113-9269-4443-ae78-22d61a37ac00",
    "abilityType": "PlayAbility"
  }
]

Again, the ability is fairly abstract. The title is “Play” and the gameText is “Play this card.”

Example for a Trainer card:

[
  {
    "title": "$$$playmat.directaction.label.play$$$",
    "gameText": "$$$playmat.prompt.sm8_165.mountainpass.play$$$",
    "abilityID": "3b95e3b1-965e-42bb-bf0c-4ac94e2fb4dd",
    "abilityType": "PlayAbility"
  }
]

Again, the ability is simply the generic one to “Play this card.”

200780 - cardNo [int]¶

Card sort number. Presently, it can be [1-236] inclusive.

200790 - cardNoText [str]¶

For cards with non-numerical card numbers, represents the text on the card where where the number usually appears, such as on Promo cards, Yellow A Alternates, etc.

Examples:

XY67a
HGSS17
RC5/RC25
SL5

200871 - issue [str] #UNREAD¶

Represents the “issue” of the card.

std: Standard issue card.
ph: Parallel Holo card (“reverse holo” informally.)
op: Organized Play promotional card.
yaa: Yellow A Alternate.
pcd: Pre-Constructed Deck variant.
alt: Alternate promotional card. (Booster blister packs, etc.)
ref: Unknown. Set only for Promo BW #BW54 Pikachu.

201000 - fullArt [bool]¶

True if the card is a “Full Art” style card.

The difference between a standard print and a “full art” print can be a little arbitrary at times, considering some of the art of the {GX} cards, but this generally refers to the Full Art cards that appear outside of the standard card ordering at the end of the set. It coincides directly with which such cards show up if you search for “Full Art” in Pokemon TCG Online.

201620 - __unusedTimeA [int] #UNREAD¶

This timestamp appears to be an abandoned way of setting the release date. It is set on, generally, one card by name for every expansion, from the HGSS1 era through the BW10 set. Not all sets have a card that carries this property, and it isn’t always set correctly.

See Property 201620 - __unusedTimeA [int] for more details.

201710 - originalPrintID [str]¶

GUID of the original printing of this card. In this case, a “printing” includes cards with the same name and same (or only slightly modified) rules text, but can have different art and come from different sets.

Notably, most [ph] issues have the GUID of their [std] sibling. Some [std] cards have their own GUID set if they are the first printing.

However, not all GUIDs set here are actually in the game. In some cases, this appears to be because the original print is a pre-HGSS1 card that isn’t actually contained within Pokémon TCG Online, but in other cases it’s difficult to account for.

For example:

(‘HGSS1 #2 Azumarill [std]’, ‘5007a183-73b6-4dcc-8f53-28b1d4cfa95a’)
(‘HGSS1 #2 Azumarill [ph]’, ‘5007a183-73b6-4dcc-8f53-28b1d4cfa95a’)

HGSS1 Azumarill does not to my knowledge have any other printings, but the GUIDs for these cards are:

(‘HGSS1 #2 Azumarill [std]’, ‘e995d74e-5766-11e1-81f9-782bcb9e3ead’)
(‘HGSS1 #2 Azumarill [ph]’, ‘e995fe5e-5766-11e1-81f9-782bcb9e3ead’)

It’s possible that this GUID field used to refer to an abstract print that was neither the [std] nor [ph] issues and at some point the game re-organized the way it issues cards, but I can’t tell.

Newer sets appear to be mostly consistent, except with reprint IDs for old trainer cards:

(‘SM7 #129 EnergySwitch [std]’, ‘1703ddd1-6a5f-4a96-894b-8583c20f6011’)
(‘SM7 #129 EnergySwitch [ph]’, ‘1703ddd1-6a5f-4a96-894b-8583c20f6011’)
(‘SM7 #147 Switch [std]’, ‘8ce3d65c-da9c-4d0f-a6d4-ecdea65e9152’)
(‘SM7 #147 Switch [ph]’, ‘8ce3d65c-da9c-4d0f-a6d4-ecdea65e9152’)

However, even in newer sets there are still some missing GUIDs that one would expect to see in the database:

(‘Promo_SM #SM17 LunalaGX [std]’, ‘e941c375-545d-47bf-90b9-7f159c264ba0’, ‘5f345ce9-9893-4ca3-8786-3718bae791bc’)
(‘SM5 #172 LunalaGX [std]’, ‘7ac6a4e8-302b-46e4-adf3-1cf6e3e3a9ed’, ‘5f345ce9-9893-4ca3-8786-3718bae791bc’)
(‘Promo_SM #SM16 SolgaleoGX [std]’, ‘52096038-819f-4099-9d91-6ab043f617d8’, ‘67c1341b-9226-420d-9230-d316f77c50fd’)
(‘SM5 #173 SolgaleoGX [std]’, ‘192f7feb-77c5-47ff-b926-d736ed435073’, ‘67c1341b-9226-420d-9230-d316f77c50fd’)

It is probably wisest to think of this field as a fingerprint/ID to identify sibling prints; as of SM9 there are 1549 entries not in the database, referencing 746 unique missing GUIDs.

201730 - containedInDecks [JSON]¶

Values:

{'JawFossil', 'SailFossil', 'OldAmberAerodactyl', 'ClawFossilAnorith', 'ArmorFossilShieldon', 'DomeFossilKabuto', 'PlumeFossil', 'RootFossilLileep', 'HelixFossilOmanyte', 'CoverFossil'}

202120 - gxAbilities [JSON]¶

JSON array of GUIDs that uniquely identify specific GX attacks that this Pokémon has. The GUID for attacks can be found within the abilities property, by the abilityID subproperty.

In most cases, this GUID always matches the GUID of their GX attack(s) in the abilities property. However, there are some exceptions:

(‘SM5 #157 LeafeonGX [std]’, ‘5204ad57-f181-4288-bb91-8342f46bda2d’)

These cards reference GX Abilities that are not described anywhere in the game at present; they may reference a different “version” of the ability that was not updated properly.

Trainer Card Properties¶

200200 - pokeToolText [I18N]¶

Localizable String for Pokémon Tool cards, though it’s not set on every PokeTool card. It can be set to several values:

$$$common.rulesText.trainercards.poketoolshort$$$
$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.data.archetypes.BW3.trainercards.Eviolite_BW3_91.PokeToolText$$$
$$$common.rulesText.trainercards.flaretoolshort$$$
$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.data.archetypes.BW6.trainercards.GiantCape_BW6_114.PokeToolText$$$
$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.data.archetypes.BW6.trainercards.RescueScarf_BW6_115.PokeToolText$$$
$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.data.archetypes.BW3.trainercards.RockyHelmet_BW3_94.PokeToolText$$$
$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.data.archetypes.bw4.trainercards.cilan_bw4_87.poketooltext$$$
$$$com.direwolfdigital.cake.data.archetypes.BW5.trainercards.DarkClaw_BW5_92.PokeToolText$$$

All except the “flaretool” string above resolve to the same text:

“Attach a Pokémon Tool to 1 of your Pokémon that doesn’t already have a Pokémon Tool attached to it.”

The “flaretool” string resolves to an empty string.

(Interestingly, the two cards that use the “flaretool” version of the text are XY4 #98 JammingNet [std] and XY4 #97 HeadRinger [std], which are cards that I suspect are v2s that supersede an earlier version of that card; there is a “Corrections” map that TPCi/DWD use to retire cards and replace them with new versions; only three cards are on this map and these cards are both on that list.)

200270 - trainerType [str]¶

The type of Trainer Card. One of:

{'Supporter', 'Stadium', 'PokemonToolF', 'PokemonTool', 'Item'}

201970 - __unusedBoolB [bool] #UNREAD¶

Unused boolean, only present and set True for two cards:

‘HGSS3 #72 Defender [std]’
‘HGSS3 #72 Defender [ph]’

Energy Card Properties¶

200970 - specialEnergy [bool]¶

Set to True if the Energy card is a non-basic kind.

Set of shortName values for cards with this property set:

{'BeastEnergyPrismStar', 'BlendGRPDEnergy', 'BlendWLFMEnergy', 'BurningEnergy', 'CounterEnergy', 'DangerousEnergy', 'DoubleAquaEnergy', 'DoubleColorlessEnergy', 'DoubleDragonEnergy', 'DoubleMagmaEnergy', 'FlashEnergy', 'HerbalEnergy', 'MemoryEnergy', 'MysteryEnergy', 'PlasmaEnergy', 'PrismEnergy', 'RainbowEnergy', 'RescueEnergy', 'ShieldEnergy', 'SpecialDarknessEnergy', 'SpecialMetalEnergy', 'SplashEnergy', 'StrongEnergy', 'SuperBoostEnergyPrismStar', 'UnitEnergyFDY', 'UnitEnergyGRW', 'UnitEnergyLPM', 'WarpEnergy', 'WonderEnergy'}

201040 - energyProvided [JSON]¶

JSON structure describing the energy provided by an Energy card. See 200570 - types [JSON] for component values.

Examples:

{"options": [[]]}
{"options": [['Metal']]}
{"options": [['Colorless', 'Colorless']]}

The subfield was named perhaps with different loadouts of energy provided in mind, but PTCGO only has cards which offer one “option”.
