Random Pokémon-related TIL moments

[Quuador]

Today I learned that the Art Academy Gourgeist (most likely) has the most unique Pokémon in a single TCG artwork. A total of 33 35 to be exact, all gen 1-6 Ghost-Type Pokémon except for gen 6’s Hoopa. (Thanks a lot to @goldcrest and @Silphnaut, who’ve helped me with identifying all of them!)

Some of the unnumbered Japanese Jumbo promo cards from the BW era have around 20 unique Pokémon in the artwork, like the Captain Pikachu promo for example. One card that comes very close with 29 unique Pokémon in its artwork is the Champions Festival from 2019, which has frames hanging on the wall of some of the previous years:

• The one from 2014 has 6 unique Pokémon in its artwork (counting the two different Vivillon forms as one).
• The one from 2016 has 8 unique Pokémon in its artwork
• The one from 2017 has 9 unique Pokémon in its artwork
• The one from 2018 has 8 unique Pokémon in its artwork
• And the one from 2019 above has 7 unique Pokémon in its artwork excluding the frames on the wall

All of them contain a Pikachu and Psyduck though. Also, the frame of the artwork from 2017 is cut off, causing the Rowlett to be out of frame. Adding that all together, there are 6 + (8-2) + (9-2) + (8-2) + (7-2) - 1 = 29 unique Pokémon in the Champions Festival 2019 artwork:

1. Pikachu
2. Psyduck
3. Vivillion (both Modern and Ocean patterns)
4. Froakie
5. Gogoat
6. Braviary
7. Bulbasaur
8. Squirtle
9. Charmander
10. Krabby
11. Wingull
12. Altaria
13. Litten
14. Popplio
15. Alolan Exeggutor
16. Drifloon
17. Pokédex Rotom
18. Shedinja
19. Tauros
20. Loudred
21. Darumaka
22. Meloetta
23. Pom-Pom Style Oricorio
24. Kricketune
25. Eevee
26. Machamp

Someone asked this question on reddit (Which artwork features the most Pokémon on a single card?), where I answered the above, and since I thought it was a pretty interesting question I decided to share it here as well.
