Midori Harada has been credited on Pokémon TCG cards from 2003 to 2024, spanning more than 350 illustrations. Across EX, Diamond & Pearl, and Sun & Moon, the work favors vibrant, playful color and clear, character-forward compositions with occasional action-driven framing.
“The Kakuna card captures a moment of stillness in nature, showcasing the cocooned Pokémon nestled among branches and leaves. Its yellow, rounded form contrasts gently with the muted tones of the surrounding environment, creating a sense of calm and safety. Kakuna is depicted in a vulnerable yet serene state, embodying the quiet anticipation of transformation. This snapshot invites the viewer to appreciate the delicate balance of life and evolution in the wild.”
