If it's asleep, I'll collect it

Hello guys i recently noticed there seems to be a sub trend in my collection, which is that i enjoy cards depicting peacefully resting pokemons. I then searched if there was a comprehensive list of these or if someone had taken an endeavor of collecting all of them but couldn’t find online. Surely i’m not the only one who had this idea. Can you help with referencing theses ?
After going through my cards displayed below, a more refined set of criterias seems to be that :

  • there must be no ambiguity in the state of asleepness of the pokemon
  • the subject has to be central to the card (not just one pokemon asleep in the background or among several others like the litten cards)

Not cards, but if you like sleeping Pokemon, @koalas thread on artist HYOGONOSUKE is for you!

Also still think about this depiction of Beedrill.

You may as well be a komala collector. If that Pokemon wakes up it will die. (Not joking)

Kind of criminal that this hasn’t been posted yet. There’s also a cosmos holo variant that was printed in the 2024 TCG Advent Calendar that has quickly become my favorite modern Snorunt
