How many TCG cards are there for each type?

Question

With lots of details:

What I want to know is how many Pokémon are ___ type in card? Like for dark types, how many Pokémon can be dark type in card and have at least one dark type in card? I want to know because I’m organizing my non-hit section of my binder, and I wanted to have a space for every Pokémon. Then I realized that I should do it by type and dex number. But it’s not that simple, because a single Pokémon could have multiple cards of different types.

Comments

No, I meant only having one Pokémon for each. For example, there are like 9 dragon type axes cards, but I only wanted one of those to count

Would the same Pokémon count for different types? For example, Grimer has since had Grass, Psychic, and Darkness cards.
