Gem Pack Vol 6 is the sixth set in China's Gem Pack series, released in Simplified Chinese on 7 August 2026. It has 196 cards: 28 Pokemon, each printed as seven numbered versions. This guide covers every Pokemon in the set, what makes each version different, and how to build the full master set in a binder. If you just want the cards, see the full Gem Pack Vol 6 card list.
What is a Gem Pack?
Gem Packs are a Simplified Chinese exclusive series. Instead of a normal numbered set with commons, rares and secret rares, a Gem Pack picks a small group of Pokemon and prints each one several times over, in a different holo treatment each time. Every booster holds four holo cards. Vol 6 follows Vol 4 and Vol 5 in using 28 Pokemon at seven versions each, so all three sets are 196 cards.
Vol 6 is the apple set. Applin heads it, and its whole family is in: Applin, Flapple, Appletun and Dipplin.

The seven versions of every card
Every Pokemon in the set comes as seven cards, and the last two digits of the number tell you which one you have. The Applin cards print as 1901/07 up to 1907/07. The rarity mark sits next to the number in the bottom corner.
| Version | Rarity | Mark |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Gem Common | Circle |
| 02 | Gem Common | Circle |
| 03 | Gem Uncommon | Diamond |
| 04 | Gem Uncommon | Diamond |
| 05 | Gem Rare | One star |
| 06 | Gem Double Rare | Two stars |
| 07 | Gem RRR | RRR |
That is two Gem Commons, two Gem Uncommons, one Gem Rare, one Gem Double Rare and one Gem RRR for each Pokemon. Across the set: 56 Gem Commons, 56 Gem Uncommons, 28 Gem Rares, 28 Gem Double Rares and 28 Gem RRRs.
How to tell the versions apart
Versions 01 to 06 share the same artwork, so the quickest check is always the number. If the number is hard to read, these are the differences on the official Applin reveal cards:
- 01: a large type symbol watermark (the Grass leaf on Applin) behind the text box. Circle mark.
- 02: a Poke Ball watermark behind the text box. Circle mark.
- 03: a speckled holo that runs over the whole card, border included. Diamond mark.
- 04: a starburst holo over the whole card. Diamond mark.
- 05: a Master Ball watermark behind the text box. One star.
- 06: the pink Gem Pack logo stamped on the artwork. Two stars.
- 07: a full art card with its own illustration. RRR.
One more detail on the card list: every card in the set carries regulation mark H except the seven Applin cards, which carry mark I.
How to build the Gem Pack Vol 6 master set in a binder
A master set here means all 196 cards: every version of every Pokemon. Gem Packs are built for this, because the set is really 28 small sets of seven.
- Pick a 9 pocket binder. A 9 pocket binder holds 360 cards, so 196 fits with room to spare.
- Give each Pokemon its own page. Seven versions on a nine pocket page, 01 to 07 in order, leaves two pockets free. 28 Pokemon fill 28 page sides, which a 9 pocket binder holds comfortably. Every page then reads the same way, and a gap jumps straight out.
- Or run it in number order. If you would rather not leave spare pockets, 196 cards in number order fill just under 22 sides.
- Mark the gaps. Put a placeholder card in every empty pocket so you can see at a glance which versions are still missing. Our master set placeholders are made for exactly this.
- Tick them off. Keep a checklist with the binder so you can trade and buy with confidence. Grab the free printable Gem Pack Vol 6 checklist, or our vinyl sticker checklist kit for the front of the binder.
The two hardest pulls in every row are the 06 and the 07, since there is one of each per Pokemon against two of the commons and uncommons.
