A standard Pokémon card measures 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches (approximately 6.3 cm by 8.8 cm), which is the same size as most trading cards like Magic: The Gathering or sports cards
. The thickness typically ranges between 0.01 and 0.03 inches (0.03 to 0.07 cm), with slight variations for holographic or foil cards due to additional layers
. There are also larger promotional "Jumbo" Pokémon cards, which come in two main sizes depending on their release date:
- Jumbo cards printed from 2000 to 2020 measure about 5.7 inches by 7.87 inches (14.5 cm by 20 cm)
- Jumbo cards printed from 2020 onward are slightly smaller, around 5.37 inches by 7.37 inches (13.65 cm by 18.73 cm)
These jumbo cards are mainly for display or promotional purposes and are not used in official gameplay
