Pokemon TCG fans convinced new card is “trolling” people with Wiglett art
Pokemon TCG players are in hysterics after seeing Pokemon TCG artist Tomokazu Komiya’s Wiglett from the recently released Paradox Rift expansion.
Thanks to a constant release schedule, there are brand new Pokemon TCG cards all the time, so it’s normal for fans to be discussing some of the incredible new artwork that adorns the illustrated cards. But, a new entry has some TCG players talking for a different reason.
Wiglett, the water-type Eel Pokemon with the ‘gooey’ ability, was modeled after the garden eel. Though it’s based on a real animal, the Pokemon has still been getting a lot of comments since its recent release for looking inappropriate.
Pokemon TCG fan and Reddit user supcoco posted a new Pokemon TCG: Paradox Rift card featuring Wiglett into a thread, and asked if the Pokemon’s new move could possibly mean The Pokemon Company is “trolling” fans. While another Redditor, GoomyIsGodTier, was on the edge of their seat after finding both reverses in their Elite Trainer Box.

For anyone curious, Wiglett looks ecologically and anatomically related to Diglett, as it’s a convergent species of the original creature from the Red, Blue, and Yellow generation who has also suffered a lot of digs in the past. Even the recent Wiglett plushies weren’t safe from the community’s gags.
One Reddit user bb_LemonSquid quipped on the toy controversy, “What’s wrong with the Wiglett plush? He looks just like him. Y’all have dirty minds.”.
Despite the controversies surrounding Wiglett and its unintentionally suggestive appearance, it’s a reminder that Pokémon’s diverse and imaginative world can sometimes lead to humorous interpretations, sparking fun conversations and debates among its fans.
