STORIES IN EVOLUTION

Scarlet & Violet—151 is a unique expansion where illustrators portray a Pokémon and the story of its Evolution across several cards. This is common with illustration rare cards, but this trend spans across the whole set from 1–151. Illustrator Naoyo Kimura showcases the Evolution from Pikachu to Raichu by having the two Pokémon walk in different directions at different times of day. Illustrator Shinya Komatsu portrays something similar as Cubone ponders its bone in a field of rocks before evolving into Marowak and smashing the field around it with newfound strength. Take a look at each Pokémon and its Evolutions, and see what you notice!
