§ 02 — About Roaring Skies

A look inside the set.

Roaring Skies presents a tightly structured visual collection: 112 cards with a clear emphasis on Pokémon illustration (92 Pokémon cards) supported by a smaller Trainer suite and a single Energy. Its rarity profile ranges from commons and uncommons through rares, Ultra Rares, and a small pair of Secret Rares, giving the set a steady rhythm of everyday artwork punctuated by higher-finish highlights. Across the set, the dominant look is colorful and illustrative, with a strong preference for balanced, focused layouts.

The prevailing mood is energetic and playful, carried by vibrant palettes and contrasting color choices that keep even simple compositions feeling lively. Among the set’s visual peaks, M Rayquaza-EX (xy6-105) stands out for its impact, with Gallade-EX (xy6-99) and Hydreigon-EX (xy6-103) close behind as similarly high-profile showcases. Much of the set’s polish comes through in the digital-forward work of 5ban Graphics, alongside the crisp dynamism often associated with Ryo Ueda.

I · Visual identity

Roaring Skies reads bright and kinetic: vibrant palettes lead almost every card, often paired with contrasting accents and clean focal points. The set favors balanced, focused compositions—frequently simple at a glance—then adds motion through dynamic posing and action framing, keeping the overall mood energetic, playful, and lighthearted.

II · Illustrators

5ban Graphics is the most represented name in the set, anchoring many of its digital, high-finish looks. Ryo Ueda also appears prominently, reinforcing the set’s dynamic, action-oriented side; together they form a consistent visual backbone across multiple rarities.
