10 Pink Pokémon Cards for a Pink Binder

Ten Pokémon cards that turn a binder pink, from Clefairy under candy-floss clouds to Mew floating over a town at sunset, each one read from its scan.

Stakd Team4 min read
Three cards from the article, fanned out: Mew ex 053 in front, Fezandipiti ex 288/217 and Mimikyu GX 206/214 behind.

These are 10 pink Pokémon cards that can turn a whole binder pink: a Clefairy under candy-floss clouds, a Fezandipiti ex lost in cherry blossoms, two Cubone on a bridge at sunset, and a Mew ex floating over a pink town at number 1.

The list comes from a penny.sleeve carousel, a pink wishlist rather than a price ranking. The countdown runs from 10 to 1 and ends on the card the carousel opens with. Everything below is read off the cards themselves: number, illustrator, attacks and flavour text.

10. Clefairy 094/088, 2026

Clefairy 094/088 illustrated by Cona Nitanda: Clefairy waving one arm on a grassy cliff edge, under pink and blue clouds full of sparkles.

Cona Nitanda paints the sky in pink and blue clouds and puts Clefairy on the edge of a cliff, one arm up as if it were hailing the whole card. The flavour text explains the pose: the moonlight it stores in the wings on its back apparently lets it float in midair.

9. Sylveon EX RC32/RC32, 2016

Sylveon EX RC32/RC32 illustrated by Kanako Eo: Sylveon smiling in a field of flowers, its pink and blue ribbons swirling around a small brown Pokémon with its eyes closed, a string of heart charms down the left edge.

Kanako Eo draws in soft crayon strokes: Sylveon's pink and blue ribbons loop across a field of flowers, around a small brown friend with its eyes shut. A string of heart charms hangs down the left edge of the card, and the attacks keep the theme going: Dress Up, then Precious Ribbon.

8. Mega Clefable ex 119/088, 2026

Mega Clefable ex 119/088 illustrated by Cona Nitanda: Mega Clefable flying with large pink wings, arms raised, above a sea of clouds under a bright sun full of sparkles.
Mega Clefable ex 119/088, illus. Cona Nitanda

Same illustrator, same set as number 10: Cona Nitanda takes Clefairy's evolution up into the sky, wings open, arms raised over a sea of clouds. The card calls itself the Mega-Evolved form of Clefable, and its attack is named Shooting Moons.

Mega Clefable ex and Clefairy also sit side by side in our list of the cutest Pokémon cards.

7. Mew ex 193/165, 2023

Mew ex 193/165 illustrated by aky CG Works: a pink Mew outlined in teal, floating in front of a pink swirl.

aky CG Works keeps it simple: a pink Mew with a teal outline, on a pink swirl, and nothing else on the card. It is the plainest card on the list and the pinkest, with the Restart Ability and the Genome Hacking attack.

6. Emolga RC23/RC25, 2013

Emolga RC23/RC25 illustrated by Atsuko Nishida: Emolga smiling with its eyes closed, arms spread, against a glittering pink background drawn with outlined hearts.

Atsuko Nishida surrounds Emolga with outlined hearts on a glittering pink ground, and Emolga answers with a closed-eye smile. The flavour text is less sweet: it glides on its outstretched membrane while shocking foes with the electricity stored in its cheek pouches.

5. Blissey ex 201/167, 2024

Blissey ex 201/167 illustrated by PLANETA Tsuji: a round pink Blissey with small white wings, smiling, in front of pink bubbles.

PLANETA Tsuji draws Blissey as a round pink cloud with small white wings, smiling among pink bubbles. Its 300 HP is the highest on this list, and its attack, Return, lets you draw until you have 6 cards in hand.

4. Cubone 04 07/07, 2025

Cubone 04 07/07, a Chinese-language card: two Cubone sitting side by side on a stone bridge, in a town at sunset with red autumn leaves, a street lamp and flowers.
Cubone 04 07/07, Chinese-language card

The only card on the list printed in Chinese. Two Cubone sit side by side on a stone bridge, in a town turned pink by the sunset, under red autumn leaves. The type is Fighting; the colour comes entirely from the evening light.

3. Mimikyu GX 206/214, 2018

Mimikyu GX 206/214 illustrated by 5ban Graphics: Mimikyu in its yellow disguise, outlined in blue, on a flat pink background.

5ban Graphics puts Mimikyu in its yellow disguise on a background of flat pink, with nothing else in the frame. The attacks are as gentle as the colour suggests, Perplex and Let's Snuggle & Fall, until the GX attack, Dream Fear GX.

2. Fezandipiti ex 288/217, 2026

Fezandipiti ex 288/217 illustrated by Sie Nanahara: Fezandipiti perched among branches of pink cherry blossoms, petals falling around it.

Sie Nanahara hides a dark bird inside a cloud of cherry blossoms: Fezandipiti's black and brown plumage almost disappears behind the pink petals. Its type is Darkness, its Ability is called Flip the Script, and the card flips its own colour the same way.

1. Mew ex 053, 2023

Mew ex 053 illustrated by Natsumi Yoshida: Mew floating above a pink town street at sunset, with bunting, a woman at a window and children running below.

Number 1 is the card the carousel opens with. Natsumi Yoshida turns a whole street pink at sunset: bunting between the houses, a woman resting at her window, children running below, and Mew floating over the rooftops.

It carries exactly the same text as number 7, Restart and Genome Hacking, and the two cards show how far an illustrator can take the same Pokémon: one alone on a swirl, the other above a town that has not noticed it.

What pink cards have in common

The type does not decide the colour. Four cards carry the Psychic symbol, both Mew, Clefairy and Mega Clefable, and two the Fairy one, Mimikyu and Sylveon. The other four are Lightning, Darkness, Fighting and Colorless Pokémon, made pink by the illustrator.

There are three ways to get there. A pink Pokémon on pink, like Blissey or Mew 193/165. A Pokémon of another colour on a pink ground, like the yellow Mimikyu or the dark Fezandipiti. Or a pink light over a whole scene: the sunset over Cubone's bridge and over Mew's street.

And the list spans 13 years, from Emolga in 2013 to Fezandipiti, Clefairy and Mega Clefable in 2026. Pink is not a trend of one set; it comes back in every era.

“A pink card is an illustrator's choice, not a type.”

Mew ex 053 is also in our ranking of the most iconic Mew cards, next to older Mew.

A pink binder is a matter of taste; what each card is worth is a number. Stakd shows the value of every card in your binder, from a 70 HP Clefairy to a Mew ex.
