Start with a background that echoes Wimpod's bug 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.
Michi Method scene examples
Wide illustrated scenes and promotional art you can print across multiple binder pockets — not cropped card frames.

Additional tips
- Photograph the Wimpod page under warm side light once and cool once — you'll quickly see which copy deserves the top-left anchor slot.
- National Dex #767 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 Wimpod (コソクムシ) with English prints reads like a travel diary spread.
- Bug/Water typings give artists a built-in palette — when two Wimpod cards clash, it's usually because lighting diverged, not because the species lacks identity.

Players file Wimpod around tier "Past" while Ability Wimp Out (This Pokémon automatically switches out when its HP drops below half.) shapes the fantasy — chase art that stages that payoff, not just the highest number on the slab.
- Bug/Water typings invite clash lighting or split backgrounds — lean into that tension on-page.

Backstory & Lore
A short write-up on Wimpod, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
This Pokémon is a coward. As it desperately dashes off, the flailing of its many legs leaves a sparkling clean path in its wake.
Its habitat varies from beaches to seabeds. A natural scavenger, it will gleefully chow down on anything edible, no matter how rotten.
It will pick up anything it finds on the ground. Sometimes it finds coins, so Murkrow and Meowth will go after it.
Wimpod shows up in Moon lore as its habitat varies from beaches to seabeds.. When you shop for cards, look for illustrations that lean into that mood instead of generic portrait poses.
Canon tags Wimpod as the Turn Tail Pokémon and known for gray colouration — backgrounds that echo those cues (studio, habitat, or abstract) usually photograph better than random neon gradients.
