§ 02 — About Delta Species

A look inside the set.

Delta Species (EX) presents a broad 114-card collection anchored by 95 Pokémon cards, complemented by 14 Trainers and 5 Energy. Its rarity mix is weighted toward Commons and Uncommons, with a smaller tier of Rares and holo treatments. Across the set, the dominant visual language is bright and approachable: cartoonish, playful art appears most often, supported by simple, balanced layouts that keep the subject clear and centered.

Within that framework, a handful of cards push toward more dynamic staging and higher contrast, offering visual peaks without breaking the set’s overall lighthearted tone. Rayquaza δ and Salamence δ stand out as key art highlights, while Flareon ex adds a different kind of focal presence. Among the most represented illustrators, Ryo Ueda and Yuka Morii contribute a substantial share of the set’s look, reinforcing its preference for clean readability, energetic character presentation, and saturated, vibrant palettes.

I · Visual identity

The set’s identity is defined by vibrant, often contrasting color and an upbeat, lighthearted mood. Compositions tend to be simple and focused, keeping figures readable with balanced framing; when the art turns dynamic, it does so through energetic posing and clean, uncluttered staging rather than dense backgrounds.

II · Illustrators

Ryo Ueda and Yuka Morii are the most frequent names in the set, shaping much of its playful, approachable tone. Masakazu Fukuda and Mitsuhiro Arita also appear prominently, adding variety in finish and intensity while staying aligned with the set’s clear, character-forward presentation.
