§ 02 — About Burning Shadows

A look inside the set.

Burning Shadows (Sun & Moon) spans 177 cards, with the set’s weight carried by 142 Pokémon cards alongside 32 Trainers and 3 Energy. Its rarity mix is broad, moving from a deep base of Commons and Uncommons into a substantial layer of Ultra, Rainbow, and Secret rarities. Across the set, the dominant look is digital and colorful, with a consistently vibrant palette and frequent use of contrasting color to keep subjects readable at a glance.

The prevailing mood is playful and energetic, supported by compositions that stay focused and balanced even when scenes turn dynamic. Many cards favor simple, character-forward staging, while action-oriented layouts appear often enough to keep the gallery moving. Visual highlights include Charizard-GX (sm3-20), Necrozma-GX (sm3-153), and Noivern-GX (sm3-160). The set’s illustration roster is led by 5ban Graphics, with additional presence from Masakazu Fukuda, Ken Sugimori, and Toyste Beach.

I · Visual identity

Burning Shadows reads bright and immediate: vibrant, often contrasting color palettes paired with digital rendering and a cartoonish-to-illustrative finish. The mood skews playful, cheerful, and energetic, while compositions stay disciplined—balanced, focused, and frequently simple—so characters remain the center of attention even in dynamic or action-leaning scenes.

II · Illustrators

The set is anchored by 5ban Graphics as the most frequent credit, shaping much of the digital, high-saturation look. Supporting volume comes from Masakazu Fukuda, Ken Sugimori, and Toyste Beach, adding variety within the same overall emphasis on clear character presentation and lively color.
