Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the Sun & Moon era.
Detective Pikachu sits in the Sun & Moon era of the English-language Pokémon TCG as a compact expansion tied to the film of the same name. It released on March 29, 2019 under the set code DET and runs just 18 cards, all of them printed in the official count with nothing numbered above it. The card list leans on Colorless, Fire, Grass and Water Pokémon, and its headline cards are Detective Pikachu itself, Charizard, Ditto and Mewtwo. Its two credited illustrators, MPC Film and Framestore, reflect the movie-derived card images.
The pull ladder in Detective Pikachu is short: eight Commons, six Rares and four Ultra Rares, with no secret cards beyond the printed 18. The most valuable card is the Rare Detective Pikachu, followed by the Ultra Rares Charizard, Ditto and Mewtwo, with Greninja close behind. MPC Film illustrated Detective Pikachu, Ditto and Mewtwo, while Framestore illustrated Charizard. Value is heavily concentrated, since the top five cards alone hold 79 percent of the set's total card value, which makes the chase cards the real draw of the small run.

As of October 2026, Detective Pikachu ranks 16th of the 16 comparable Sun & Moon sets by total card value, by its single most valuable card and by trading activity, and 129th of 130 sets across the whole game. Its 18 printed cards sit well under the era median of 148. It followed Team Up, which holds more total value, and came before Unbroken Bonds, which also holds more. As a small movie tie-in expansion it is built differently from the large main-line releases around it, so the gap in value follows from its size.

Completing the Detective Pikachu card list means gathering 18 printings, and all 18 are priced. Because the top five cards carry 79 percent of the set's total card value, the cost of a complete set is mostly the cost of a few Ultra Rares and the Rare Detective Pikachu, while the Commons and remaining Rares are the easy part. The set also has a sealed line of 13 products, including booster packs, blisters and tins alongside other sealed items.
