About the artist

PLANETA Igarashi’s Pokémon TCG credits run from 2017 to 2025, with a substantial body of work across Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, and Scarlet & Violet. Appearances in sets such as Lost Thunder, Unbroken Bonds, and Celestial Storm show a consistent approach to character-led illustration, with compositions that keep the subject clear even when the scene turns energetic.

Across these cards, PLANETA Igarashi often pairs dynamic, action-oriented framing with balanced structure: figures are pushed forward, silhouettes stay readable, and details are layered without crowding the focal point. Color is a central tool—vibrant palettes, frequent contrast, and occasional harmonious passages that temper intensity with clarity. Ultra Necrozma-GX (sm6-140) reflects this craft in a tightly focused, high-energy presentation. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by PLANETA Igarashi is Lugia-GX (sm8-227).
