Mina Nakai
Mina Nakai has been credited on Pokémon TCG illustrations from 2016 to 2025, spanning Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and Scarlet & Violet. The work favors cartoonish, watercolor-leaning charm, with balanced, character-forward staging and vibrant, pastel-tinted color.
“The Cyndaquil card captures a serene moment in nature, showcasing the small Fire Mouse Pokémon perched on a rock, surrounded by a lush landscape. Its eyes are closed, suggesting a sense of calmness as it enjoys the warmth of the sun. The vibrant flames on its back hint at its fiery nature, yet the overall scene feels peaceful and inviting. This snapshot invites viewers to appreciate the quiet beauty of Cyndaquil's world.”
