Can Your Deck Win?
Pokémon TCG rotation checker
Paste your list and RdyDeck marks every card as legal now, may rotate next, or safe, using its regulation mark.
How Standard rotation works
Most cards carry a regulation mark, a letter in the bottom corner. Once a year, the oldest legal mark leaves Standard. Recent years followed one pattern: D left in 2023, E in 2024, F in 2025 and G in 2026, each announced in January and gone from events in April.
Where it stands
| Rotation | Marks | When |
|---|---|---|
| Last | G left Standard | March 26, 2026 in Pokémon TCG Live, April 10, 2026 at events |
| Next | H expected to leave | Not announced yet. Expected around April 2027. |
Last rotation: Pokémon TCG Live letter to the community, March 19, 2026. Next rotation estimate: CardJinx, October 25, 2026. RdyDeck updates this when the official announcement comes. Always check the Play! Pokémon Rules and Formats page before an event.
What the checker shows
- Not legal now: cards that cannot be played in Standard today. A deck with any of these grades 4.9 at most until they are swapped.
- May rotate next: cards with the mark expected to leave at the next rotation.
- Safe: cards whose mark is confirmed to stay. A card counts as safe only when its mark is confirmed.
Plan your next list around the safe cards, and use the deck grader to see how the deck holds up once the rotating cards are gone.
