KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA made a Pokémon TCG debut in Battle Styles. Pokémon’s artist spotlight emphasizes the lively color, visual humor, and busy scenes: May clings to a charging Blaziken VMAX, while Smeargle appears to take a selfie with Bibarel. Those little stories reward another look. Explore the card gallery for compositions that turn a battle, a pose, or an ordinary encounter into something unexpectedly playful.
