Ken Sugimori
Ken Sugimori is credited on more than 1,100 Pokémon TCG cards from 1999 to 2022, spanning sets such as Base, Gym Heroes, and Neo Genesis. The work favors clear, character-forward staging, playful moods, and vibrant-to-pastel color palettes with balanced, simple compositions.
“The card features Clamperl, a bivalve Pokémon, partially opened within its shell. The background shows an underwater scene with a blue hue, suggesting a marine environment. Clamperl appears to be resting, with a calm expression and its eyes closed.”
