Grades, dates, and the status column
Sources
Every guide page ends with the links we actually opened. This page explains the grades so the status column means the same thing everywhere. The reading date for this build is 13 November 2026.
Three grades
Official pages are the Pokémon.com Pokédex, the card pages on that site, pokemongo.com news, and the store listings for the app and the Expansion Pass. Reference sites are Bulbapedia, Pokémon Database, Smogon, the GO database, GO Hub, Limitless, and the mod wikis. Community write-ups are shop price pages, Reddit threads, YouTube hunts, and mod guides. A fact is established when two grades, or two sites inside a grade, agree and are not copying each other. A simulator ladder is one source even if it is detailed. A shop price is one column, not the average of three shops.
Status, updates, corrections
The status cell says how many sources agreed, or that they disagree. We update a page when a linked source changes or when a reader sends a better public link. Event pages name local time. Card prices name the day. PokeRogue numbers name the wiki snapshot. Send corrections through the contact page. We do not pay for links, and we do not mark a paid placement, because there are none.

Questions people actually ask
What does “1 source” mean?
Only one public page said it. We still print it, with that label, when the page would otherwise hide a real lead.
Why do two prices both stay?
They were both printed by shops on the check date. Averaging them would invent a third number.
Can I reuse your tables?
The words are ours. The underlying game material belongs to its owners. Ask via the contact address for anything beyond a short quote.
