Why collectors adore Piloswine
Three fast, fan-friendly reasons Piloswine stands out — no lore dump, just the vibe.

How I'd build a Piloswine spread
Spread layout for Piloswine, 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.
Piloswine #H22 (Skyridge) by Yuka Morii is essential — her signature clay-art style gives Piloswine an irresistibly handcrafted charm.
Piloswine #24 (Skyridge) by Yuka Morii is essential — her signature clay-art style gives Piloswine an irresistibly handcrafted charm.
Piloswine #20 (Crimson Invasion) is a promo worth chasing — alternate art that stands out on any Piloswine binder page.
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 Piloswine's ice and ground, 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 Piloswine (イノムー) with English prints reads like a travel diary spread.
- If you're building for Farm Animals, repeat one motif (floral border, café table, neon sign) across three cards so the theme feels authored.
- Piloswine's cheerful base temperament invites playful sticker sleeves or washi — don't force a grimdark layout unless the art demands it.
- Marketplaces still surface "piloswine cards" — tag your inventory with species keywords collectors actually type, not just set codes.

Players file Piloswine around tier "NFE" while Ability Oblivious (Prevents infatuation and protects against Captivate.) shapes the fantasy — chase art that stages that payoff, not just the highest number on the slab.
- Hidden Ability Thick Fat is the deep-cut hunt — call it out when you sell or trade so buyers know you are curating, not flipping random holos.
- Take Down — Has 1/4 recoil. — Illustration Rares that stage that motion tend to outperform static portraits.

Backstory & Lore
A short write-up on Piloswine, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
Because the long hair all over its body obscures its sight, it just keeps charging repeatedly.
If it charges at an enemy, the hairs on its back stand up straight. It is very sensi tive to sound.
Although its legs are short, its rugged hooves prevent it from slipping, even on icy ground.
Piloswine shows up in Leafgreen lore as because the long hair all over its body obscures its sight, it just keeps charging repeatedly. When you shop for cards, look for illustrations that lean into that mood instead of generic portrait poses.
Canon tags Piloswine as the Swine Pokémon, a creature of cave habitats, and known for brown colouration — backgrounds that echo those cues (studio, habitat, or abstract) usually photograph better than random neon gradients.
