§ 02 — About Celebrations

A look inside the set.

Celebrations presents a tightly edited 25-card lineup, dominated by 23 Pokémon cards and just two Trainers. The rarity profile is weighted toward Rare and Rare Holo, with a smaller run of V, VMAX, and a single Ultra, giving the set a consistent foil-forward cadence. Visually, the collection favors balanced layouts and clear focal points, while still making room for bursts of motion through dynamic staging and action-leaning poses.

Across the set, vibrant and contrasting palettes lead, often tempered by harmonious color relationships and occasional warm or pastel accents. The mood range stays lively—energetic, playful, and lighthearted—yet it also dips into serene and mystical notes depending on the subject. Visual highlights include Flying Pikachu VMAX and two distinct Mew cards, each offering a different read on character presence and atmosphere. Artist credits are concentrated among a small group, with aky CG Works and kirisAki appearing most frequently, alongside Mitsuhiro Arita.

Vibrant palettes dominate, frequently using contrast for punch, then resolving into harmonious, warm, or pastel tones for a lighter, playful register.

II · Illustrators

The set’s credits cluster around a few repeat names, giving the collection a cohesive production feel. aky CG Works and kirisAki lead the count, with Mitsuhiro Arita also contributing multiple cards, together shaping much of the set’s digital-forward, character-centric presentation.
