Michi Method scene examples

Additional tips
- National Dex #845 is a quiet flex on dividers or handwritten indices — collectors who sort by number will thank you.
- Label one pocket "海外" / overseas and one domestic — pairing Cramorant (ウッウ) with English prints reads like a travel diary spread.
- If you're building for Birds & Bats, repeat one motif (floral border, café table, neon sign) across three cards so the theme feels authored.
- Flying/Water typings give artists a built-in palette — when two Cramorant cards clash, it's usually because lighting diverged, not because the species lacks identity.

Players file Cramorant around tier "PU" while Ability Gulp Missile (If a Cramorant with Gulp Missile uses Surf or Dive, it catches prey and changes its…) shapes the fantasy — chase art that stages that payoff, not just the highest number on the slab.
- Amnesia — Raises the user's Sp. Def by 2. — Illustration Rares that stage that motion tend to outperform static portraits.
- Flying/Water typings invite clash lighting or split backgrounds — lean into that tension on-page.

Backstory & Lore
A short write-up on Cramorant, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
It’s so strong that it can knock out some opponents in a single hit, but it also may forget what it’s battling midfight.
This hungry Pokémon swallows Arrokuda whole. Occasionally, it makes a mistake and tries to swallow a Pokémon other than its preferred prey.
Cramorant shows up in Sword lore as it’s so strong that it can knock out some opponents in a single hit, but it also may forget what it’s battling midfight. When you shop for cards, look for illustrations that lean into that mood instead of generic portrait poses.
Canon tags Cramorant as the Gulp Pokémon and known for blue colouration — backgrounds that echo those cues (studio, habitat, or abstract) usually photograph better than random neon gradients.
