Does such a thing exist? I mean, I'm thinking of a deck that not only has literally every counter in the language, but all all the irregular pronunciations such as いっぽん rather than いちほん. I've heard elsewhere that you should try to just pick these up from massive exposure to the language, but hell, I'd much rather go through a 500 or even 1000 card Anki deck than wait to "pick them up"

I have a textbook that presents a "sandhi grid" that shows the sound changes when the different numbers are combined with different counters. I'm doing a separate study of this grid when I'm not practicing my reading skills.

I'm also looking for a comprehensive numbers/counters anki deck, without any luck so far. I've been toying with the idea of making one myself but it would probably have to wait for a month as I have a lot on at the moment. Do you know of any resources with audio for all the irregular pronunciations? That would save me a bit of youtube trawling.

There is vocab and grammar your ability to understand the language hinges on, and there are things it doesn't. This sounds like it goes in the latter category.

If you already understand the spoken language, and you feel like perfecting your skills in using it, then by all means, study away at counters. But if that's not the case, then studying obscure counters is not an efficient use of your time and energy.
