Start with a background that echoes Makuhita's fighting, then place your chase holo in the top-left anchor slot. Secondary copies can step down in rarity toward the edges so the spread breathes in photos.

Additional tips
- Lead with your strongest Makuhita single, then echo it with a secondary spread featuring Hariyama, Breloom, and Chesnaught so the page reads as a story, not a checklist.
- Try a brick red and terracotta sleeve story around Makuhita's fighting-type identity — mat color does more work than people admit in photos.
- Photograph the Makuhita page under warm side light once and cool once — you'll quickly see which copy deserves the top-left anchor slot.
- Makuhita reads massive (86.4kg) in lore — full-bleed backgrounds and low-angle perspectives on high-rarity prints reward the scale.

Players file Makuhita around tier "LC" while Ability Thick Fat (Halves damage from Fire and Ice moves.) shapes the fantasy — chase art that stages that payoff, not just the highest number on the slab.
- Hidden Ability Sheer Force is the deep-cut hunt — call it out when you sell or trade so buyers know you are curating, not flipping random holos.
- Endure — User survives attacks this turn with at least 1 HP. — Illustration Rares that stage that motion tend to outperform static portraits.

Backstory & Lore
A short write-up on Makuhita, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
MAKUHITA is tenacious - it will keep getting up and attacking its foe however many times it is knocked down. Every time it gets back up, this POKéMON stores more energy in its body for evolving.
MAKUHITA has a tireless spirit - it will never give up hope. It eats a lot of food, gets plenty of sleep, and it trains very rigorously. By living that way, this POKéMON packs its body with energy.
It loves to toughen up its body above all else. If you hear quaking rumbles in a cave, it is the sound of MAKUHITA undertaking strenuous training.
Canon tags Makuhita as the Guts Pokémon, a creature of mountain habitats, and known for yellow colouration — backgrounds that echo those cues (studio, habitat, or abstract) usually photograph better than random neon gradients.
Collectors still read Makuhita and Hariyama fastest left-to-right; matching illustration eras across those stages matters more than cramming every rarity onto one page.
