Don’t recall it being shared on here before, but I found this card in my extras and noticed the little Pikachu inside Rotom. Apparently it was also mentioned in this thread discussing Hidden Pikachus specifically.
I’m 90% sure that is a sun stone back there!
Not sure if it’s common knowledge or not, but I personally only recently heard about it. The Pikachu World Collection 2010 cards have the colors and/or shape of the flag mixed into the artwork for their specific languages. In some of these it’s a bit of a stretch, ngl. But in others, especially the English and Polish ones, it’s very obvious:

@quuador,
That is super cool I never knew that!
I wish they would do the same for an Azumaril card, since there’s no “hidden in pokemon card” Kingdra
I hope noone send it yet. I feel like noone did.
VHS Deck Wartortle (aka Sixpack Wartortle) has another wartortle in the back.
Not entirely sure it’s what the topic is but does someone remember or find any cards where grimer or muk is hiding (or presented in some way), the only one i’ve found is challenge!-trainer and would be fun to find one where either of them is really hiding
I’m afraid I haven’t been able to find any more than the Team Rocket 74/82 Challenge! card you already knew about.
I’ve just created this list for the Eeveelutions in the backgrounds of other cards, and I’ve looked for Grimer/Muk cards simultaneously, but I haven’t found any. If I somehow come across one in the future I’ll let you know, but unfortunately Grimer/Muk aren’t really popular Pokémon to put in the background of other cards.
Greetz,

I appriciate the effort really much! i gave this a shot too and went through basically all tcg trainers since i think they would have been more probable source of finding one, but still found none :E and i agree with you, they aren’t very popular pokemon so i do believe going through all the other tcg cards would end up in the same result, but luckily a lot of other special cards to collect of them
Check out this super awesome luvdisc card! (Said no one ever…) Its from ex crystal guardians.
It appears there are potentially at least two exeggutor on the island behind luvdisc here. The two outer trees have a darker colored fruit bearing on them, so I’m not sure if they’re exeggutor or not. Why not make all the trees in the art exeggutor? The world may never know…
Not a pokemon hidden, but a location hidden. At the end of route 2 in SwSh there’s Professor Magnolia’s house next to a lake, the lake where this Feebas is! The main house is pretty obvious on it’s own, but they also added the shed in the back and it looks like they even got a lot of the trees the same, see the two right by the house, short light one in front and taller darker one behind it along with the shore line taking the same shape with the little cliff and everything. The attention to detail in the background is kinda nutty
Not sure if anyone mentioned this one yet. But this is Pokemon Reversal from the VS series. I’ve looked at this card a million times, but only just realized that there are a Blastoise and Electabuzz in the shadow to the left.
For anyone who stumbles across this thread, I made a guide for all English cards that contain other Pokemon hidden in them I’ll get to Japanese eventually as well.
I think I have a decent one, really hope this hasn’t been mentioned yet:
Slowbro’s silhouette on the brick wall!
Maybe our Slowbro pro @brendantheclayboy wants to chime in to confirm

This is a fantastic find–great eye!
It’s been a while since I posted something here. Someone on reddit posted a connection between the POP 1 Series Larvitar and Tyranitar, and @lyleberr mentioned the Pupitar is connected to it as well in a comment. (@cracker might also like to learn about this new connected artwork).
Here a pretty quick Paint copy-paste of the three artworks so you see how they’re connected (the artworks aren’t perfectly aligned, but you get the idea):

@quuador this actually happens a lot and it’s only when you really look at a set as a whole when you begin to notice these things.
From the POP series alone:
- POP Series 1: Larvitar, Pupitar and Tyranitar form a larger artwork;
- POP Series 2: Entei, Raikou, Suicune and Tauros form a larger artwork (bits of Entei, Rakou and Tauros are shared between those cards);
- POP Series 3: Minun and Plusle connect together infinitely;
- POP Series 9: Buizel, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup and Croagunk form one larger artwork whilst Pachirisu and Bueary, Raichu and Lopunny, Pichu and Pikachu form three separate sets of artwork along the same coastline:

I indeed knew about the POP 9 coastline. Never really checked how they were connected, though. Can’t they be connected all together, instead of in pairs like that?
And the POP3 Plusle & Minun I’ve indeed shared a few pages back. I love how almost all Plusle and Minun cards were connected somehow. Too bad they’ve stopped doing that later on.
As for the POP Series 2 connection, those are actually from the Japanese PokéPark Blue set and have a few more Pokémon:
