Set Hunter

The Pokémon master-set tracker

Youdon'tknowwhatyou'remissing

Growlithe — Base Set 28

Pick a Pokémon. We build its complete master set — every printing, every variant. Mark what you own, print proxies for the rest. Your binder is never empty.

The thesis

A card you don't own
is a proxy
never a hole

Your binder starts full. Every variant of your Pokémon lands as a greyscale, registration-marked placeholder the day you create it. Owning a card doesn't add it — it develops it into colour. Completion you can see across the room.

What Set Hunter does

Variant-level
tracking

Not "Growlithe: yes/no". First edition, shadowless, unlimited, holo, reverse, 4th print — every printing is its own target with its own pocket.

Printable
proxies

Every gap exports as a print-ready, honestly-marked placeholder. 9-up sheets, cut guides included.

Completion
you can feel

Per set, per Pokémon, per collection — and always the answer to "what's closest to done?"

Japanese sets — coming

The loop

01

Pick a Pokémon

We assemble its complete master set — every variant lands as a greyscale target. The binder is full on day one.

02

Mark what you own

● Got develops the card into full colour. ◆ Want keeps it a proxy. ⊘ Skip hides it from the count.

03

Print the gaps

Proxy sheets for everything missing. Slot them in, and swap for the real card the day the hunt lands it.

Harv — founder of Set Hunter

From the founder

Five years deep into an Arcanine master set and still missing variants I'd never heard of. Got sick of it. Built this.

Pokémon has been my obsession since I was four. Coming back to it as an adult collector, I figured the tools would have caught up — turns out there's still no single place to see every print of a card, in order, with nothing missing. So I built it. This is a community project — if something looks off or a card isn't showing up, ping me.
