PokemonTCG legend Kouki Saitou delivered a stunning 9-card connecting collection of Illustration Rares in the special CrownZenith expansion. Pokemon
's introduction of the ancient region of Hisui, have led to this moment. era, was released on January 20th, 2023. It was primarily an adaptation of Japan's set and also featured a collection of cards that were cut from other English-language sets and more. Like other special sets, includingpacks were found in specially branded products like Premium Collections and Elite Trainer Boxes rather than booster boxes.
The way that this connecting set works is three rows of three columns of cards. This Riolu is in the top row, all the way left, making it the very first card of the image when you display it in a binder. Or a frame, because these cards certainly deserve it. Here, Saitou depicts the scrappy Riolu hopping from the top of a tree, making it look almost as if it's trying to catch a ride on the swooping Swablu which we previewed yesterday, which appears on the card right next to this one.
Swablu is depicted by Saitou flying high over the icy mountains. The trees here are a beautiful touch as well, adding a bit of contrast to this card that lets Swablu's blue and white design, which blends with the blue sky and white mountain range, pop visually. This card does a terrific job of standing on its own, even though it is actually the centerpiece of the top row of this image, between the Riolu and the Duskull.
I love how the Duskull completely changes the tone of the illustration while also keeping the visuals consistent. The trees that Riolu is jumping off of in its card are bright and warm, while the forest around Duskull seems to seep with fog, as if this Ghost-type Pokémon has brought an eerie mist to this nine-Pokémon party. That, plus the mysterious purple glow to Duskull, makes this card work not only as a piece of the puzzle but beautifully as its own illustration.
