31 Sad & Crying Pokémon Cards

Some cards make you want to reach into the binder and give the Pokémon a hug. They’re crying, lost, or just having a rough day, and there are a surprising number of them once you start looking.

We’ve gathered the best sad and crying Pokémon cards here, from the illustration rares down to commons that hit just as hard.

Sad Illustration Rares & Full Arts

The illustration rares have the most room to tell the story, and they use all of it. Hisuian Goodra shows up three times, which suits a Pokémon that always looks a little worried.

Vintage & Rare Sad Pokémon Cards

These are our favorite cards in the whole post. Cubone was always going to be here. Its Pokédex says the skull it wears belonged to its mother, and illustrators have been leaning into that since Jungle. The Omanyte is the one that gets us most though.

Commons & Affordable Sad Pokémon Cards

Plenty to choose from here, and some of the saddest cards in the post are commons. Trubbish might be the saddest of the lot, which is a lot of pressure for a bag of trash. There’s also a Mimikyu whose own Pokédex says the Pikachu costume it wears to seem less scary only makes it creepier, and a Pikachu with an ability literally called Lonely Gaze.
