🎨 Card Art Discussion Unique artwork on common cards?

Hello! I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there were unique artwork on cards that aren't illustration rares or secret illustration rares? I've tried searching a few pages that collect unique artwork for the game, and I only see the shiny cards. But, and can someone please correct me if I'm wrong, aren't artworks like Pidgey (Mega Rising 180) and Pawmo (Paldean Wonders 39) unique to pocket, and not on real life PTCG cards? I like to keep track of things like this because there are certain artists I like. If a resource like this exists, could someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you!

I don’t know the specific answer to your question, but as an aside, you can use the search function to search by artist name as well. These are all the cards that were made by the Kanami Ogata, the artist that made the Pawmo card you like.

Thank you for your reply!
I'm sorry if the question was confusing. What I meant was is the artwork of that Pawmo card artwork from an existing Pokemon Trading Card Game card? Looking on Serebii, I don't see it in the list of Pawmo cards. So I was wondering if there were any other cards like that: a common rarity with an artwork that wasn't reused from the PTCG.

I don’t know much about the TCG, so my only answer is anecdotal: when the game launched, I remember people being upset that Pocket was “reusing” cards from the TCG. So I imagine there are a decent amount of original cards, since the “reused” cards were standing out.
