§ 02 — About Obsidian Flames

A look inside the set.

Obsidian Flames presents a broad, Pokémon-forward gallery: 230 cards total, including 210 Pokémon, 19 Trainers, and 1 Energy. The rarity mix is anchored by Commons and Uncommons, then rises into Double Rares, Illustration Rares, Ultra Rares, Special Illustration Rares, and a small tier of Hyper Rares. Across the set, the dominant look is cartoonish and colorful, with vibrant palettes and an overall lighthearted tone that keeps even action scenes readable and direct.

Compositionally, the set favors balanced layouts and focused character staging, with dynamic angles used as accents rather than constant noise. Visual highlights include Charizard ex (sv3-228) and Charizard ex (sv3-223), alongside the charming Lechonk (sv3-209). Among the most present illustrators, 5ban Graphics provides a substantial share of the set’s digital polish, while Jerky, Souichirou Gunjima, and Kouki Saitou add variety through shifts in line, texture, and pacing.

I · Visual identity

Vibrant color leads the set’s identity, frequently paired with contrasting accents and occasional soft or pastel passages. The prevailing mood is playful and lighthearted, supported by balanced, focused compositions that keep subjects centered and legible; when the set turns energetic, it does so through dynamic posing and clean action framing rather than dense backgrounds.

II · Illustrators

5ban Graphics appears most frequently, shaping much of the set’s crisp digital finish. Jerky, Souichirou Gunjima, and Kouki Saitou are also prominent, collectively widening the visual range from brisk, character-forward scenes to more dynamic, motion-driven presentations.
