One of my favorite modern cards, yet it was still hard picking between this one and the runner up, posted below with some of my other favorite Fighting-Type Pokémon in a separated post.

This Cubone is probably one of the most emotional inducing TCG card. Sometimes when I see this artwork it almost brings tears to my eyes. If it wasn’t for my fascination for dinosaurs and fossils as a kid, this would have been my pick instead of the Aerodactyl, and it still was very close. This artwork is very impactful, and I think the artist (Sumiyoshi Kizuki) also did an amazing job capturing that.

In contrast, the Meloetta dancing at the festival is very happy. I’m always a fan of cards where Pokémon and people are living together, and this is also a beautiful artwork.
Speaking of Pokémon and people living (and working) together, the full art Excadrill also nicely captures the different personalities of both the workers and Excadrill. Like one guy + Excadrill are sleeping in exhaustion; three people and two Excadrill are eating and talking on their lunch break; and one Excadrill is emerging from the ceiling, probably forgotten it was time for lunch.

As for the Groudon, someone else recently gave the perfect explanation of why I like it recently, even though they weren’t talking about this card in particular:’

And honorable mention to:

Because of that Bidoof butt cameo. :joy:

You say Bidoof butt, but now I can’t unsee that funny Bolthund face.

A bit late, but I’ll share some cards I like anyway :slightly_smiling_face:

I am a fan of all the pictures of singular pokemon staring at a blooming flower, like the Light Machoke above, so this Trapinch by sowsow is one I quite like.

Another favorite are these violent Swinub by Komiya. As with other Komiya works, sometimes, his pokemon are depicted with emotions that aren’t typically associated with that pokemon (which TPC might clamp down on for most artists, so the few cards displaying emotions outside the norm are always fun to see).

Added this card to my collection this year. I was really loving it and I couldn’t figure out why. Then I realized it reminded me of Invader Zim’s art style. I think for that reason its probably one of my favorite cards, and yes Imakuni the man made this one. His art style on all his cards lack a cohesive look too which baffles me. The man is talented. Music and drawing and being a uniquely japanese goofball mascot like critter. 10/10 human.
