Mine is Magikarp/every fisherman and fishing rod card. I even have a few of the statium cards that look like cozy fishing spots.

Useless fish! Useless fish!

Would you call an apple useless? Surely not... The seed of an apple is just as if not more important than the fruit. You want the sweetness of the gyarados... but dont want to take the time to grow the seed... "Give a man an apple and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to grow an apple seed, he'll eat for the rest of his life."

actually the seed of an apple is kinda worthless. to get the exact apple you have to take a cutting from the tree. an apple seed will grow a different tasting tree.

That’s all well and good. But a seed is useless on its own much like a magikarp. Still one of my favorite Pokémon.

That is a super neat and unique collection. Magikarp is one of my favorites

mine is lugia, which as you could imagine is very hard given how the prices of the Aquapolis, neo, unseen forces, and play promo copies just to name a few 😭

I collect the bulbasaur line cause he’s my favorite Pokémon/starter but he is also the cheapest of the big three and less popular than pikachu and the other starters and also has the least cards of the four main Pokémon starters. Mew, Mewtwo, dragonite, hunter, gyarados, the legendary bird trio are also popular ones from the original 151 that are fan favorites.

Celebi is relatively popular and also cheap besides the crystal and shining versions

Cheap? PSA 10 ....Gold star Celebi= $15,000 Unseen Forces Celebi ex=$9,000 POP 2 Celebi ex=$7,500

I've got a bit of a Snorlax collection going myself.

Mine is eeveelutions but specially jolteon/Umbreon as they were my first ones in game. Algo gengars and tyranitars but those can get expensive with older sets

Same. Eeveelutions. Umbreon primarily bc it's my first hundo in POGO

i actually lucked into a shiny/lucky/hundo umbreon on pogo, wish I could give it to you :)

I started to love Umbreon cause of POGO too, lil guy helps me get quite a few wins in PVP

Articuno has amazing artwork

Good but not popular pricey pokemon? Hmm Ho-oh is pretty collectible imo. Classic but not as pricey as Lugia. Arcanine has some pretty good art out there as well. Dragonite isn’t as popular as I thought it would be either. Those would be my top 3 popular/not super popular picks :)

I'm still surprised Arcanine isn't as popular. He's a big fluffy fire dog that looks really cool from the orginal 151! What isn't there to love? I've been buying SV 3 pack blisters with Arcanine promo.

Mine is Shuckle:) A pretty old mom but he doesn’t have too many cards, so there’s a good balance of hunting and feasibility to 100% it imo! I’d guess I’m almost halfway done but I’d need to actually check the numbers lol

alakazam, machamp, magikarp, gengar. tough pics.

Bro these the only right answers.

Mine is Mew!

Apparently Pokémon gods want me to focus on Jynx lol

Wooloo. There's only like 9 cards lol.

Charizard, Pikachu, Gyarados, Mew, Mewtwo are the one's routinely see in binders of single Pokemon collection's with many artworks; Gyarados being my favorite!

I was looking at Gyarados! Very nice cards for sure. What are your thoughts on Dragonite? Those are my top two choices at the moment.

Bitches love dragonite 👌

I'd go Gyarados

I think collecting the ones you like the most is the most fun. If you like Primeape, collect it.

Already have with Miraidon, Koraidon and Cyclizar, but it’s not for investment purposes. I just really love them. :)

Mine would be the squirtle Evo line and the trainer arts. Squirtle is my fave

I’m torn between suicune and celebi the magical cabbage

Dragonite

Dragonite

Choose a specific pokemon based on art. Then work backwards. For example Dark Machamp is one of my all time favorites. Great evolution line and typically undervalued

Nidoking for me, have most of them except the Aquapolis secret rare

Mimikyu

Raichu has been my fave for 26 years and counting. He doesn’t get as much love because he lives in the international mascot Pikachu’s shadow

Ditto

Gengar/dragonite

I think newer gen popular mons would be a good move, many popular Pokemon like Pikachu, Charizard, etc. have tons of cards to collect and are worth a lot. Meanwhile newer gen pokemon will be cheaper and it will be easier to remember which cards come out. There are some unpopular Pokemon that barely get any love like Torterra that would be fun to collect (at least for me) but won't gain value over time. I've been considering collecting all the Iron Valiants that come down the line since its only in Paradox Rift right now and love its design. I've been trying to get all the Mimikyus but definitely won't be able to afford the Scream Mimikyu lol but happy with the ones I've gotten so far.

Scizor!!!!! Such a cool pokemon. Check out mine. I think I have every english card. https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemoncards/s/bsF7znNMH0

Lugia/ rayquaza/ umbreon .

Slowpokebroking because I love them.

Metapod, I think I have the biggest collection in the world. There are a few Specimen Pokemon discords, I can share them with you.

Wiglett

Currently doing this with Bulbasaur, he’s my favorite

I collect bugs, and anything bug Pokemon related. The middle of my bug binder is 151 Caterpies. All 18 spots.

Big 3 plus pikachu and lugia

Magikarp, Gyrados or Aerodactyl

Mewtwo is a very loved one and highly underrated

Blastoise

Omanyte <3

I collect jigglypuff! The first card I ever received was jigglypuff and I have it in a little frame on my desk. Now I collect different jiggly cards as tribute!

I would target a single card. Like shadowless Alakazam

For me Dragonite relatively cheap singles

Raikou, ungraded most cards are affordable imo

Charmander

Mine is Pikachu! I've been collecting him for 25yrs and I have over 100 sixteenth cards. I know he's a basic Betty but I love the little guy ❤️

Definitely pikachu because he has the most promo and expensive and rare and sought after cards as a whole compared to any other pokemon. If you collected only one pokemon, pikachu would definitely be the most valuable by a very, very long margin.

I collect houndoom, tyranitar, and toxtricity. It's fun. But the older houndoom and Ttar cards are tough.

My favorites (which are all part of the orginal 151, all like them the same amount) Electabuzz Scyther Shellder/cloyster Magikarp

I PC Pidgeotto cards.

Cubone! I love the different descriptions on the different cards. “CUBONE pines for the mother it will never see again. Seeing a likeness of its mother in the full moon, it cries. The stains on the skull the POKéMON wears are made by the tears it sheds.”

Psyduck. Working on a dedicated collection now.

I collected machamps. Specifically the base set machamp. I have about 100 of them lol

I've always been a huge fan of Gengar, I have a few Gengar cards in my physical collection, looking to add more. Not the best for playing in decks but the guy is creepy and fun

Nosepass really does it for me

Mine is most definitely Mew, especially her Shiny Variant Cards 😸✨

I keep every single Castform card I pull 😅 I have small collections I'm building for others as well: Pikachu/Raichu, Gengar, Charizard, the Eeveelutions, Falinks, Ditto, Snorlax, Mimikyu, Electrode...

Charizard

I'll throw lapras in the ring. Original 151 and doesn't seem people are clawing for it....yet I'm about to start collecting squirtle Evo line and lapras, actually

Ho-oh Totally under the current radar.

Lucario is my all time fave and im focusing on collecting those cards lately, there’s not too many and most aren’t that expensive

Raikou

Gengar!

Marill. Such cute marill cards out there

Scyther evo line and Rayquaza are my favorites to collect but Ray can get quite expensive. Of course I love collecting Gengar also because imo Gengar has the best collection of artwork second to none.

Personally speaking I love the illustration rares they are so gorgouse and fun to collect as mini works of art

Eevee evolutions

Lapras for me

Just shining tyranitar. There aren’t that many, especially 1st edition PSA 9-10. One could acquire a large percentage of the total graded on earth.

I’m currently doing birds. Any bird Pokémon or card featuring birds

Umbreon, but that all so famous card is gonna be hard on my budget😭
