Of the 4 cards, Aquapolis contributes the largest cluster. The illustrator most often responsible is Tomokazu Komiya, whose Hitmonchan cameos appear in 2 of these cards.
These cards feature indeterminate, dynamic, indoor and focused in their background art, illustrated by artists like Tomokazu Komiya, Kanako Eo and Shigenori Negishi.
Hitmonchan appears as a background cameo across 4 Pokémon cards.
These appearances range from clear sightings to barely-visible silhouettes, scattered across 2003–2020 of the TCG.
Each cameo rewards collectors who pause to look closely at the card art.
