✨ Import Features & Formats

📋 Quantum Deck Shortcodes:

Custom Meta deck shortcodes using Quantum API:

TEST-deckname - Standard shortcode format
DECK-TEST-deckname - Full format with DECK prefix
TEST deckname - Space-separated format

⚡ Quantum Super Shortcode:

Ultra-compact format - works with or without # modifier:

Format: Quantity #SetCode CardNumber or Quantity SetCode CardNumber
Example: 4 #BRS 001 or 4 BRS 001 - Just set and number
Example: 2 #003 150 or 2 003 150 - Numeric set codes supported
Example: 3 #SOA 003 or 3 SOA 003 - Works with any set code
Faster resolution - skips name matching
Best for bulk imports when you know set codes

⚡ Quantum Full Format:

Full format - works with or without # modifier:

Format: Quantity CardName #SetCode Number or Quantity CardName SetCode Number
Example: 4 Pikachu #BRS 001 or 4 Pikachu BRS 001
Example: 2 Charizard #SWSH 150 or 2 Charizard SWSH 150
Uses Quantum API resolution (separate from Limitless)
Faster image loading and better coverage

⚠️ Priority Note:

The # modifier is recommended for priority/explicit Quantum API resolution, but Quantum API works without it too. Quantum API does NOT pull from Limitless - they are separate sources.

Hi everyone! I'm Michael/Xiao Xiao Long. I'm a 21-year-old from Guelph, Canada, who started programming in the fall of 2023. I've been playing the Pokémon TCG for over 8 years, and I spent the last 3 months building PTCG-sim, a free tool for the community to use to test and play our favorite card game.

I publicly launched the sim on Christmas, and it has already grown an incredible community of players and developers. There's a lot more to do, and I could use as much help as I can get!

Should you find joy in using the sim and wish to support its ongoing development, you can sponsor me/the project through one of the links below. However, please know that sponsorship is completely optional. Your enjoyment of the sim is contribution enough, and I'm thrilled to have you as part of our community :)
