Pokémon cards can be serious collectibles, but some offer a fun or unexpected twist. Whether it's bizarre designs, funny themes, or simply cards that are completely different from the rest, these cards have something special. In this article, we'll explore the 7 funniest Pokémon cards you absolutely need to know.
#7 Zapdos 8/16 – Pokémon Rumble Promo
Okay, let's be honest: this isn't a classic "funny" card. But the Rumble style gives Zapdos a toy-like, almost plastic look that's anything but cool. The legendary bird looks like it came from a kindergarten craft project, and it's that contrast that makes it striking and unintentionally hilarious.
#6. Imakuni's Nasty Plot (JP) – Vending Series 3 (Green)
This card perfectly encapsulates Imakuni: chaotic, childish, absurd, and not at all meant to be taken seriously. The illustration resembles a quickly scribbled cartoon, and the whole thing feels more like an inside joke than an actual card. A perfect addition to the funniest cards ever category.
#5. Eevee GX SM233 - Sun & Moon Promo
The Fat Eevee GX promo card is exactly what you think: Eevee is fatter than usual. This fun variation of Eevee was a marketing stunt, but it has a lasting impact on collectors. It puts Eevee's cuteness in a completely different context, which makes for a lot of fun.
#4. Hama-Chan's Slowking – Japanese Promo
Hama-Chan's Slowking is a Japanese promo card that captures Slowking's calm and tranquil demeanor. However, the card gets a comedic twist because of the way Slowking is depicted, making him appear confused rather than wise. It's simply a fun image for collectors.
#3. Imakuni – Japanese CoroCoro Promo
This Japanese CoroCoro promo is probably one of the strangest cards in Pokémon history. It depicts Imakuni on a card, a completely unusual choice for Pokémon. It's also funny because this card was one of the first to use such an abstract concept.
#2. Imakuni's Doduo 112/108 – Evolutions
The Imakuni's Doduo card from the XY Evolutions set is one of the strangest you'll find. Instead of the usual battles or adventures, Doduo is depicted in a funny, awkward scene. It has absolutely nothing to do with battle, which makes the card all the more comical.
1. Ditto XY40 - XY Promos
Ditto is already a unique Pokémon because of its shapeshifting ability. The Ditto XY40 promo takes this to the next level, with Ditto literally transforming into the shapes of other Pokémon on the card. This makes it both humorous and unique for collectors.
