Pokémon card artists: collect by illustrator
Gumdex lists the Pokémon cards of more than 400 illustrators, from the first sets to the newest.
Follow an artist to track which of their illustrations you own and which you’re missing.
Ultra includes artist pages. You can follow up to 10 artists across your lists. How to earn it
One tile for each illustration
Many illustrations are printed more than once: in Japanese and English, and again in later reprint sets. Mitsuhiro Arita’s Base Set Charizard is on 9 cards in English and Japanese, including Base Set 2, Legendary Collection, and Evolutions.
An artist page shows that illustration once. Tap it to see every card that carries it and pick the printing you own. A recolored version, such as a shiny one, counts as the same illustration. A version with a new background does not.
Track the illustrations you own
Cards you already own in your Dex list count toward your artist collection. Mark a card owned on an artist’s page and it’s added to that list too.
Each illustration counts once, whichever language or printing you collect. Artist pages cover Pokémon cards for now.
Find an artist from a card
Tap the illustrator’s name on a card’s page to see more of their work. Confirmed spelling variations share one artist page.
Looking for art by subject instead? Art search finds cards by place, theme or a Pokémon in the background, at every level.
