Why collectors scan
Built for the card in your hand
A scanner that stops at the character name is not useful. PokeTracer reads the collector details that matter.
Variants caught clearly
Holo, reverse holo, full art and special illustration prints are treated as separate cards.
A price comes with every match
Each identified card arrives with a current market reference so you know what you are holding.
Straight into your binder
Confirm the match and save it. The scan becomes part of your tracked collection.
How it works

1
Step 1
Scan

Step 4

Where it earns its keep
For the moments lookup is too slow
Sorting a fresh pull
Work through a stack fast: scan, confirm, next.
At the shop or a show
Check what a loose card actually is before you buy.
Logging an old box
Get a box of older cards into one organised collection.
Reads English and Japanese
Both regions are matched against set and number data.
Manual search always there
Low light or damaged card? Type without losing your place.
Built for collectors
Every scan feeds progress and value, not a throwaway lookup.
Scanning identifies cards from artwork and printing details. For damaged or heavily glared cards, confirm the match before saving.

FAQ
Questions collectors ask
Open PokeTracer when you are ready to try the workflow with real cards.
How does the Pokemon card scanner identify a card?
It reads the front of the card, including artwork, set symbol and card number, then matches the result against the catalog.
Does it work with Japanese cards?
Yes. English and Japanese cards are supported where catalog data is available.
What if the scan picks the wrong card?
Every result shows the set, number and variant so you can check it. Manual search is available when a card needs correction.
Do I need an account to scan?
You can try the scanner first. To save cards and keep progress, create a free account.
Got a card in front of you?
Scan it, confirm the match, and start a collection that tracks itself.
