Shin Nagasawa
Shin Nagasawa has illustrated Pokémon TCG cards from 2009 to 2025, with work appearing across Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, and Scarlet & Violet. The art leans into action-forward clarity—vibrant, contrasting color and focused, character-led staging.
“The card depicts Empoleon standing confidently against a backdrop of rocky cliffs and a serene ocean. Its regal posture and striking colors convey a sense of authority and poise, as if it is surveying its territory. The scene feels tranquil yet powerful, encapsulating the essence of this Emperor Pokémon. This moment captures Empoleon's dual nature as both a protector of its domain and a formidable presence in the water.”
