Art Notes
The card depicts Metapod nestled among vibrant autumn leaves, creating a serene backdrop that emphasizes its stillness. This moment captures the essence of a cocoon, where Metapod remains motionless, preparing for the transformation ahead. The soft colors and gentle shapes of the leaves contrast with Metapod's sturdy form, suggesting a sense of quiet anticipation. It feels like a brief pause in nature, where growth is just around the corner.
