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 Tepig card captures a serene moment where the little Fire Pig Pokémon is curled up, peacefully napping on a cozy bed surrounded by soft pillows. Its warm colors contrast gently with the cool tones of the bedding, creating a comforting atmosphere. The scene evokes a sense of safety and contentment, as Tepig seems completely at ease in its surroundings. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the quieter side of a Pokémon's life, away from the battles and adventures.”
