How I'd build a Claydol spread
Spread layout for Claydol, TCG picks to anchor the page, and open artwork you can print for Michi-style scene pockets.
Cards to anchor your spread
TCG picks for collectors — pair these with a printed scene below.
Claydol #24 (Emerald) by Yuka Morii is essential — her signature clay-art style gives Claydol an irresistibly handcrafted charm.
Claydol #79 (Celestial Storm) is a promo worth chasing — alternate art that stands out on any Claydol binder page.
Claydol #92 (Chaos Rising) is a great option for new collectors — easy to find and display.
Species art references
Character renders for colour matching, pose ideas, and silhouette checks.
Official artwork
Match card holo colours and keep the species silhouette consistent across pockets.
HOME render
Modern pose reference when you want a cleaner, upright character layout.
Dream World vector
Simple line-and-fill shape — handy for tracing pocket placement before you print.
Shiny palette
Alternate colourway for accent pockets or shiny-themed spreads.
Art via PokéAPI/sprites (open source).

Start with a background that echoes Claydol's ground and psychic, 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
- Label one pocket "海外" / overseas and one domestic — pairing Claydol (ネンドール) with English prints reads like a travel diary spread.
- If you're building for Yuka Morii, repeat one motif (floral border, café table, neon sign) across three cards so the theme feels authored.
- Claydol's cheerful base temperament invites playful sticker sleeves or washi — don't force a grimdark layout unless the art demands it.
- Marketplaces still surface "claydol cards" — tag your inventory with species keywords collectors actually type, not just set codes.

Players file Claydol around tier "Past" while Ability Levitate (Evades Ground moves.) shapes the fantasy — chase art that stages that payoff, not just the highest number on the slab.
- Ground/Psychic typings invite clash lighting or split backgrounds — lean into that tension on-page.

Backstory & Lore
A short write-up on Claydol, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
CLAYDOL are said to be dolls of mud made by primitive humans and brought to life by exposure to a mysterious ray. This POKéMON moves about while levitating.
CLAYDOL is an enigma that appeared from a clay statue made by an ancient civilization dating back 20,000 years. This POKéMON shoots beams from both its hands.
A CLAYDOL sleeps while hovering in midair. Its arms are separate from its body. They are kept floating by the POKéMON’s manipulation of psychic power.
Collectors still read Baltoy and Claydol fastest left-to-right; matching illustration eras across those stages matters more than cramming every rarity onto one page.
A second dex beat (Leafgreen) frames Claydol as one that appears to have been born from clay dolls made by ancient people.. Rotating that line on a sticky note beside the page keeps the spread feeling lived-in.
