Crown Zenith’s woodland scene deserves a page planned in advance
By ChasingPoké ·
Nine Crown Zenith cards form a woodland scene with Pikachu at its center. The appeal of ChasingPoké’s A forest full of friends collection is the finished picture, which gives a binder page a clear destination even while spaces remain empty.
Start with a character, reserve the picture
The public connected-art checklist shows all nine cards in their arrangement. Riolu GG26/GG70, Swablu GG27/GG70 and Bidoof GG29/GG70 offer three possible starting points. Choose the Pokémon you most want to spend time looking at, then use the collection’s arrangement to reserve the surrounding spaces.
For this project, a page with nine pockets is a practical choice. Before moving cards, sketch the layout and label the empty positions on a separate checklist. That gives each future addition a destination and avoids rearranging the page whenever another card arrives.

Five examples, with dated estimates
Our latest card snapshot for this collection, observed October 17, 2026, puts Riolu at $9.92, Swablu at $5.84 and Bidoof at $5.92. Turtwig GG31/GG70 is $9.81, while Poochyena GG33/GG70 is $5.65.
These are card-market estimates, not offers for particular copies. Use them to decide which cards deserve a closer look within your spending limit, then check the actual listing and checkout costs. The five examples are a starting sample, so adding their estimates would not tell you the cost of completing the picture.
Keep the full checklist beside the sample
A forest full of friends contains nine cards, and all nine are cataloged. This feature introduces five of them. Turtwig and Poochyena belong to the same Crown Zenith project as Riolu, Swablu and Bidoof; the public collection is the reference for the complete arrangement.
Keep the set and card number on every wish-list entry. When checking cards already in your collection, match those details before marking a space filled. A familiar Pokémon name is a useful search term, but a precise checklist makes the shopping task much easier.

Make the first session an inventory session
Choose a favorite first, check which matching cards you already own, then build a wish list for the remaining spaces. Put a spending ceiling beside each wanted card and leave room for postage instead of treating the market estimate as your checkout budget.
You can enjoy the page as it develops. Keep the intended arrangement visible, add cards at a comfortable pace, and let the completed woodland picture serve as the project’s stopping point.
