Pokémon Card Channel is the official Japanese YouTube channel for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The channel account was created on September 23, 2016, but its official launch was on October 7 of the same year, on which the channel's first video was uploaded — October 2016 is the month of the Pokémon TCG's 20th anniversary.

The channel hosts a variety of content related to the Pokémon Trading Card Game (including Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket), such as reveals of expansions, cards, and merchandise; Pokémon TCG matches; deck building; tips, tricks, and suggestions on how to play; and other miscellaneous content such as minigames. The channel also hosts livestreams, including official livestreams of the Japanese Pokémon TCG Championships League. New contents are uploaded to the channel almost every day.
