Start with a background that echoes Walrein's ice and water, 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
- Photograph the Walrein page under warm side light once and cool once — you'll quickly see which copy deserves the top-left anchor slot.
- National Dex #365 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 Walrein (トドゼルガ) with English prints reads like a travel diary spread.
- Ice/Water typings give artists a built-in palette — when two Walrein cards clash, it's usually because lighting diverged, not because the species lacks identity.

Players file Walrein around tier "Past" 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.
- Ice/Water typings invite clash lighting or split backgrounds — lean into that tension on-page.
- Hidden Ability Oblivious is the deep-cut hunt — call it out when you sell or trade so buyers know you are curating, not flipping random holos.

Backstory & Lore
A short write-up on Walrein, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
It swims through icy seas while shattering ice floes with its large tusks. It is protected by its thick blubber.
WALREIN’s two massively developed tusks can totally shatter blocks of ice weighing ten tons with one blow. This POKéMON’s thick coat of blubber insulates it from subzero temperatures.
WALREIN swims all over in frigid seawater while crushing icebergs with its grand, imposing tusks. Its thick layer of blubber makes enemy attacks bounce off harmlessly.
A second dex beat (Black 2) frames Walrein as not only does its thick blubber keep it warm, it also protects it from attacks.. Rotating that line on a sticky note beside the page keeps the spread feeling lived-in.
Walrein shows up in Leafgreen lore as one that swims through icy seas while shattering ice floes with its large tusks.. When you shop for cards, look for illustrations that lean into that mood instead of generic portrait poses.
