Pet parents can now own a Pokemon card inspired by their pet made by Pokepet.
Consumers can request specific details to be included in the card, such as elemental details and characteristics (i.e., grass, lightning, fire, etc.) or a color change.
There are two options to pick from -- the simple or full option. The simple options give the general details on the card — name, HP level, element type, type of pet, length, weight, move, weakness, resistance, retreat cost, and a short description. The full options have everything the simple option has, just with more explanation.
The cards are metal and are hand-drawn digitally by one of the Pokepet artists.
Pokepet also offers other cards such as Yu-Gi-Pet cards and Pet The Gathering cards.
