§ 02 — About Dragon

A look inside the set.

Dragon (EX series) presents a tight, Pokémon-forward structure: 100 cards total, with 93 Pokémon and 7 Trainers, and no Energy cards. Its rarity mix is broad—commons and uncommons form the backbone, supported by rares, holo rares, EX holos, and a small group of secret rares. Across the set, the art trends toward cartoonish and traditional rendering, with playful and lighthearted moods leading the tone.

Compositionally, the collection favors clarity: focused, simple layouts and balanced framing dominate, with occasional dynamic and action-leaning moments. Color is a defining throughline, with vibrant palettes appearing most often, alongside soft and pastel accents and some contrasting, warm notes. For visual highlights, the set’s top-scoring artworks include Charmander (ex3-98) and Charizard (ex3-100), which sit comfortably within the set’s character-forward approach.

I · Visual identity

The visual language is bright and character-centric: cartoonish and traditional styles lead, supported by playful, cheerful moods. Most cards use focused, simple compositions with balanced framing, letting bold, vibrant color do the work—often warmed by soft or pastel secondary tones and occasional contrast for emphasis.

II · Illustrators

The set’s illustration load is led by Midori Harada, with substantial contributions from Atsuko Nishida, Mitsuhiro Arita, and Hajime Kusajima—together shaping much of the collection’s playful, approachable look through consistent character focus and clean, readable staging.
