Introduction: Make Your Own Pokémon Card!

Whether you're customizing a card for a school project, a birthday party, or just for fun, this guide will walk you through creating your own Pokémon card — complete with a free printable template and design tips!

Here are the supplies that you need in order to create your own custom Pokemon cards.

1. A printer
2. Scissors ✂️
3. Colored pencils or markers (or use Photoshop!)
4. Pokemon Card Maker (for digital cards)
5. Free Pokémon card template ( download below)
6. Optional: Glue stick + cardstock for extra thickness

👉 Download the free card template in PNG file format at 300dpi ready for print. The Pokemon cards template contains the front and the back of the card. Print both of them.

The template is the exact size of a real Pokémon card: 2.5 inches × 3.5 inches (6.3cm × 8.8cm)

Use the blank Pokemon card template to add:

1. Your Pokémon's name and type
2. HP (Hit Points)
3. A drawing or printed image of your Pokémon
4. Two attacks (be creative!)
5. A description and/or ability

💡 Tip: Use existing Pokémon cards as inspiration for layout and stats. You can even create Pokemon cards coloring pages.

You can create digital Pokemon cards or you can create physical versions by printing them.

1. Print the two templates front and back.
2. Carefully cut out the card along the edges.
3. (Optional) Glue them together or to a cardstock for durability.
4. You can now make the final touches like for example colorizing the card.
5. Done! You've made your very own custom Pokémon card.

Want a digital version?

Import the template into Canva, MockoFun or Photoshop and add text, images, and effects — perfect for online sharing or printing later.

If you use Photoshop, do the following:

1. Use the Paint Bucket Tool to colorize your card with green, orange, purple, etc. Colorize also the frame.
2. Add text layers for your Pokémon's name and type, the HP (Hit Points), description, attacks and abilities.
3. Add an image of your favorite Pokémon. You can create a Fakemon with the help of AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc. and upload it in Photoshop. This AI Pokemon generator is quite useful for making Fakemons.

Now you know how to use the Pokemon cards template to create your own custom cards. It's easy and fun!
