Masakazu Fukuda
Masakazu Fukuda has been credited on Pokémon TCG illustrations from 2003 to 2024, spanning sets such as Black & White, Holon Phantoms, and Supreme Victors. The work leans cartoonish and colorful, with playful energy, balanced framing, and clear character-forward staging.
“The card captures Smeargle in a dynamic moment, its paintbrush-like tail poised as if ready to create something new. Surrounded by a vibrant splash of colors, it conveys a sense of spontaneity and joy, reflecting the essence of creativity. This scene immerses viewers in Smeargle's artistic world, where self-expression flourishes. The Pokémon stands as a testament to the beauty of imagination.”

Color Pick
Search your deck for up to 3 basic Energy cards, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.
Trace
Flip a coin. If heads, choose an attack on 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. Trace copies that attack except for its Energy cost. (You must still do anything else required for that attack.) Smeargle performs that attack.
