JAPANESE METAPOD CARD CHECKLIST

[6 CARDS] 1996 BASE SET TO 2023

Metapod has fewer collectible Japanese prints than most Kanto Pokémon. It also didn’t get an Art Rare in Pokémon Card 151. These 6 are the ones worth finding. The 3 marked ★ are the ones to look for first: the 1996 no-rarity original, the 1998 Vending glossy and the 151 Master Ball mirror 011/165.
