The Great “Pokemon Hidden In Card Art” Thread

Nice catch, that would probably be an Inkay to the left, though!

Johto Starters featured on poster directly above Pikachu here. By the merchandise counter is a poster with Marill and another Pokemon below Marill I cannot make out… maybe Larvitar if we go off Gen 2?

Maybe this is a no brainer, but I’ve actually never noticed Zubat in the Neo 3 booster art!

went through some Sw/Sh bulk I had

SPOILER: Click to show

Sword & Shield “base set”
Dugtrio’s artwork has a shocked Diglett in the background
EDIT: Swapped for image from Bulbapedia, it was higher quality


There’s a Wingull perched on the rocks behind Krabby

Voltorb is hiding among the PokeBalls in the basket on this Minccino card

Hitmonchan is training on the peak behind Hitmonlee (and vice versa)

Then in Rebel Clash, there’s a Tranquill in the background about to swoop down on poor Grubbin.

That Diglett in the background is the Diglett we saw in the EX Crystal Guardians set of 2006 by the same illustrator. :grin:

There is also a matching Hitmonchan card with Hitmonlee in the background:

@dizzylochs Yeah, Psyduck is like a mascot in cards like that. It’s also in the three Tropical Tidal Wave artworks; the six Tropical Wind artworks; and both Tropical Beach artworks. :blush:

@quuador oh that’s fun. They’re great appearances

@quuador yes, hence I said “and vice versa”. It reminds me of all the Plusle & Minun cards farther up the thread.

Anybody know about the leafeon in the background of this card? It’s a lesser known card but I love it

The new Galvantula from Legendary Heartbeat has a nice hidden Butterfree!

And I spy little Wailmer and Staryu toys in Wooper’s pool!

Last one for the set that I saw. Rockruff has a Cutiefly on his leg :blush: not exactly hidden but definitely a cameo

Contains a bunch of other Pokémon that are pretty easily seen, like Politoad, Marill, Suicune, Slowking, and Bellossom, but I also noticed the mini Hoppip and Petilil inside the basked of the female Pikachu just yet.
