Summary
$2 crochet Wailmer cards from Pokémon TCG’s new Pitch Black set have emerged as the release’s surprise fan favorite, despite being common pulls rather than high-value chase cards.
Asako Ito’s amigurumi-style artwork drove the buzz, with players and collectors repeatedly spotlighting Wailmer on social media instead of scarcer special illustration rares.
The card appears in both standard and reverse-holo versions and remains cheap on resale sites—about $1.50 for the regular card and roughly $2 for the reverse holo.
Official Pokémon TCG social posts amplified the trend, underscoring how design appeal can sometimes outshine rarity and investment value in a market still marked by hard-to-find packs.
