Additional tips
- If you're building for 🐛 Bugs & Insects, repeat one motif (floral border, café table, neon sign) across three cards so the theme feels authored.
- Slither Wing's stoic personality in-game pairs with minimalist layouts: fewer stickers, more negative space, let the art breathe.
- Keep a "swap tray" of mid-value Slither Wing duplicates beside the binder — trades move faster when the page is already curated.
- Reserve one sleeve for Trainer cameos or duos with Accelgor, Anorith, and Araquanid; vignette cards routinely outperform sterile solo placeholders in flat lays.

Players file Slither Wing around tier "UU" while Ability Protosynthesis (Raises highest stat in harsh sunlight, or if holding Booster Energy.) shapes the fantasy — chase art that stages that payoff, not just the highest number on the slab.
- Thrash — Lasts 2-3 turns. Confuses the user afterwards. — Illustration Rares that stage that motion tend to outperform static portraits.
- Bug/Fighting typings invite clash lighting or split backgrounds — lean into that tension on-page.
