§ 02 — About Shining Legends

A look inside the set.

Shining Legends (81 cards) presents a tight, Pokémon-forward selection—66 Pokémon cards supported by 13 Trainers and 2 Energy. Its rarity mix is broad, led by Commons and Uncommons, then rising through Rare Holo and a smaller band of GX, Ultra, Rainbow, and a single Secret. Across the set, the dominant look is vibrant and contrasting, with balanced and focused layouts that keep subjects readable even when the action turns dynamic.

The set’s visual highlights include Mewtwo-GX (sm35-76) and Entei-GX (sm35-10a), both aligning with the collection’s energetic, color-saturated direction. 5ban Graphics anchors much of the digital finish, while Mitsuhiro Arita adds illustrative weight and texture. kawayoo and Ryo Ueda round out the upper tier with crisp character presence and motion-driven staging, reinforcing a consistent rhythm of playful scenes and clean, foreground-first clarity.

I · Visual identity

Vibrant color dominates, frequently paired with contrasting accents and clean, readable staging. The prevailing style is colorful digital illustration with playful, cartoonish edges, supported by energetic moods and occasional intensity. Compositions skew balanced and focused—often foreground-led—so even dynamic action scenes remain clear and uncluttered.

II · Illustrators

5ban Graphics is the most represented hand in the set, defining much of its sleek digital surface. Mitsuhiro Arita provides a more illustrative counterpoint, while kawayoo and Ryo Ueda contribute additional variety through character-forward framing and motion-centric compositions.
