How Long Do Pokemon Cards Stay in Standard?
Pokemon cards usually stay in standard format for about two years. The rotation happens once a year around September, so it depends on when the set was released. If a set comes out in early 2020, expect it to phase out around September 2022. Keep an eye on the official Pokemon website for the exact rotation dates and which sets are currently legal!

It's typically 2 years, but it really depends on the release cycle and rotation updates from the official Pokemon TCG folks. Make sure to check their announcements or you might be surprised when your favorite deck is suddenly not standard legal anymore.
About 2 years, give or take. But honestly, with how often new sets drop and the meta changes, it feels like you鈥檙e always on your toes anyway.
