§ 02 — About Phantom Forces

A look inside the set.

Phantom Forces presents a wide visual survey across 124 cards, led by 99 Pokémon illustrations and supported by 23 Trainers and 2 Energy cards. Its rarity profile is anchored by Commons and Uncommons, with a smaller tier of holos, ultras, and a handful of secrets. Across the set, the dominant look is bright and high-chroma: vibrant palettes and contrasting color choices appear repeatedly, while compositions tend to stay balanced and clearly focused even when the scene turns energetic.

Within that framework, a few cards stand out as art-forward highlights, including Chandelure and Dialga-EX. The set’s imagery often reads as cartoonish, colorful, and digitally rendered, with playful moods outweighing darker notes, though touches of mystery surface in select pieces. Much of the visual consistency comes from frequent contributions by 5ban Graphics and Ryo Ueda, whose approaches help define the set’s clean, dynamic presentation.

I · Visual identity

The prevailing visual language is vibrant and contrasting, with a strong tilt toward cartoonish, colorful digital illustration. Scenes are typically focused and balanced—often simple in layout—then energized through dynamic posing and action cues; pastel and soft notes appear as secondary accents rather than the main palette.

II · Illustrators

The set is led in volume by 5ban Graphics, with Ryo Ueda also contributing heavily; together they shape much of the clean, digital, high-contrast look. Additional presence from Toyste Beach and Sanosuke Sakuma adds variety within the same generally playful, energetic register.
