Collecting Palpitoad

Yukihiro Tada illustrated a card at every stage of this line - Tympole, Palpitoad, and Seismitoad each credit him once, an unusual thread running through an otherwise ordinary three-stage evolution. Palpitoad's own pool mirrors its pre-evolution closely: eleven of twelve cards common or uncommon, nothing over twenty, and the same 2025 Black Bolt Illustration Rare sitting at the top.
