What lb cardstock does Pokemon TCG use?
No official word on the exact lb, but expect something in the high-quality range. I've printed proxies on 310gsm cardstock and they felt almost indistinguishable from the real deal. Experiment a bit if you're into making custom cards or just curious.

Pokemon TCG cards feel premium 'cause they actually use a specific type of cardstock that's not commonly disclosed. But if you're looking to mimic the feel for custom cards, aiming for something around 300gsm should get you pretty close. That's the sweet spot for durability and that nice, snappy feeling when you shuffle.
Honestly, does the exact lb matter? As long as the card feels good and doesn't bend or tear easily, it's all good. Focus on the game, not the grams!
