Purple has a way of making everything feel a little mysterious. It’s the color of Ghost, Poison and Psychic types, so it makes sense that so many of the hobby’s most-loved Pokémon live here.
We gathered our favorite purple Pokémon cards, from cute and cozy to dark and moody, plus vintage, CG and everyday pulls for your binder. If you’re building a color-themed binder, our pink Pokémon cards post pairs nicely with this one.

Cute Purple Cards
Purple doesn’t always have to be spooky. This is the softer side of the color, with little ghosts, Psychic types and Pecharunt, which looks sweet enough until you remember the mochi. Morpeko shows up more than once here, and we’re not complaining.
