Cards like Karen's Umbreon where the Pokemon appears to be glowing?

Recently acquired and this effect easily makes it one of my favorites. After thinking about it, some Delta Species cards like Dragonite look like they might be slightly similar, though it’s hard for me to judge since I haven’t held them in person.

I know some of the shining cards feature Pokemon that glow, like Tyranitar or Mewtwo, but that’s not really what I have in mind.

Definitely cop a delta species holo rare or ex, very glowy irl.

As others have said, almost all of the delta species Pokemon (including some gold stars like Gyarados :goldstar:) will appear to be glowing.

Here are some non-delta species cards too:

I would recommend checking out Atsuko Nishida’s work. Many of her Pokemon arts look like they’re glowing thanks to the watercolor/airbrush medium.

Might I recommend Kusajima’s intensely radiant time travellers

Yellow against a dark holo background seems to help. I could only think of this one (but am sure there are others):

I would say like 95% of any of Nishida’s artworks appear to glow. Just about any Pokemon she illustrates she gives a mystical/legendary feel to it.

Aww, that’s cute. Always nice to hear some not-as-popular Pokemon getting some love! :slightly_smiling_face:

Some cards that came to my mind






Edit: I read that you prefer not shining pokemon, so I put starmie instead

Not quite what you were asking for but I always liked this card because the holo over umbreons strips makes its strips look like theyre glowing

Another excuse to post one of the best cards ever made!

Awesome examples! That Ampharos is probably going to be my next purchase. Looks incredible.
