**Sword & Shield has 202 cards in the main set, or 216 including its 14 secret rares.**

## Inside the Sword & Shield checklist

Sword & Shield's numbered 202-card base set splits into 173 Pokémon, 42 Trainers and 1 Energy. It's a Sword & Shield-series release and ranks the #4 largest set Nomekop tracks by printed count. The marquee Pokémon and their cards in Sword & Shield:

- **Snorlax** — Snorlax V (#197), Snorlax VMAX (#206)
- **Morpeko** — Morpeko V (#190), Morpeko VMAX (#204)

## Secret rares: #203 to #216 in Sword & Shield
