Gengar · Lost Origin #TG06
A camping card with a mischievous twist. Gengar lurks just outside the glow of a campfire while the group settles in for the night, and that mix of cozy warmth and creeping shadow is exactly what makes it so good.

Fletchinder · Paldea Evolved #199
A warm little moment of camp cooking. Fletchinder helps out (or is warming up) at the campfire and the whole thing has a snug cozy glow. A lovely fire type pick for the theme!
Fletchinder · Paldea Evolved #199 on eBay
Mabosstiff · Scarlet & Violet #218
Arven’s loyal partner out in the Paldea wilds. Mabosstiff stands watch in a grassy outdoor picnic scene, and if you know the Path of Legends story it hits a little harder. A great companion piece to the Arven cards further down.

Skarmory · Surging Sparks #209
Pure road trip energy. Skarmory perches on the roof racks of a van parked out in the desert, all sun bleached sky and open highway, with a Joshua-Tree-meets-Mad-Max feel to it. A super underrated full art and great pick for the overland side of the camping theme!
Skarmory · Surging Sparks #209 on eBay
Magmortar · Crown Zenith #GG03
Who better to handle the campfire than Magmortar? This one leans into the cooking outdoors angle, with Magmortar putting its heat to good use. A fun, characterful trainer gallery card.

Arven’s Mabosstiff ex · Destined Rivals #235
The emotional heart of Arven’s whole story on one card. Mabosstiff at full strength alongside Arven, out in the field where their journey played out. A must for anyone who got attached to the Path of Legends arc.

Oranguru · Brilliant Stars #TG12
Oranguru kicks back in a hammock inside a decked out camper van, surrounded by streamers, coffee gear, and color everywhere. It’s the most laid back card on this list, pure van life relaxation, and it makes a vibrant, cozy addition to an outdoor binder page.

Light Toxtricity · Sword & Shield Promos #SWSH137
Toxtricity brings the music to the campsite. This one’s all good vibes, an outdoor scene with a laid back jam-session-around-the-fire feel with Oddish. A fun and underrated promo!

Charjabug · Temporal Forces #169
A charming little outdoor scene with Charjabug out in the grass. It’s small and unassuming, but that’s the appeal, a cozy slice of camp life starring a bug that literally stores energy like a battery.
Charjabug · Temporal Forces #169 on eBay
Tyranitar V · Battle Styles #155
A big one, literally. Tyranitar looms over a campsite in this alternate full art, a hulking presence against the outdoor backdrop that makes for one of the more dramatic camping cards out there. A stunning and highly sought-after alt art!
Tyranitar V · Battle Styles #155 on eBay
Kangaskhan · Destined Rivals #204
The least camp-y card on the list, but too good to leave off. A weary Kangaskhan stops by a country road at dusk, mountains fading behind it and a Wooper peeking out. A little slice of life on the road that fits the outdoor adventure theme nicely.
Kangaskhan · Destined Rivals #204 on eBay
Arven’s Greedent · Destined Rivals #205
Another fun, food-focused pick that fits Arven’s whole cooking and snacks theme. Greedent’s cheeks stuffed with outdoor snacks is exactly the picnic energy this list is about.

Arven · Paldean Fates #235
Arven front and center, packed for the outdoors. If there’s one trainer who embodies this whole camping and cooking theme, it’s him, and this is a great card to build the section around.

The Arven Camping Set
Arven is the camping trainer, full stop. His entire Path of Legends journey is built around outdoor cooking, sandwiches, and traveling Paldea with his partner, so it’s fitting he has a run of Scarlet & Violet cards that capture exactly that. Across these three you get Arven out in the field with his gear and his Pokémon, and together they make a perfect little camping subset to chase.
