An eagle-eyedPokémon TCG Pocketplayer discovered some well-hidden Easter eggs in the cards illustrated by one artist.Pokémon TCG Pocketuses a mix of new card art and art recycled from pastPokémon TCGsets. Some of this card art dates back to theoriginalPokémon TCGsets,while others are pulled from more recent sets. Thanks to using oldPokémon TCGart, many newcomers toPokémon TCG Pocketare discovering some fantastic secrets for the first time.
Over on thePokémon TCG Pocketsubreddit, userWeekly-Zucchini-8822discovered that Saya Tsurata’s artwork always has a Poké Ball hidden in them. Although Tsurata has been placing Poké Balls in art for years,the nature ofPokémon TCG Pocketmeans that many app users were discovering the Easter eggs for the first time.

Poké Balls Appear In Cards Like Mew, Horsea, And Cloyster
Tsurata is a longtimePokémon TCGartist, with 130 different Pokémon cards credited to her name. While her artwork appears on cards dating back as far as theDiamond & Pearlera of the card game, she’s only been hiding Poké Balls in cards since theSword and Shieldera.Typically, Tsurata hides the Poké Balls in sparkles or bubbles built into the artwork,although she’s also cleverly placed Poké Balls into tables, doorknobs or flowers as well.
WhilePokémon TCG Pocketsetshaven’t featured any new artwork of Tsurata’s, that could change in the not-too-distant future. Given how many cards Tsurata has contributed artwork to,it wouldn’t surprise me if she’s tapped to do an Illustration Rare or Special Illustration Rare cardsoon.
To date, Tsurata’s artwork has appeared on five differentPokémon TCG Pocketcards. you may find her art on the following cards:
