Yuka Morii

209 cards · 82 sets · 2001–2026

Every card illustrated by Yuka Morii, known for her handmade clay Pokémon photographed for the card art. Tracked like any other set: a complete set is one of each card, a master set is every variant of each.

Yuka Morii works in a medium no other Pokémon card illustrator uses: she sculpts each Pokémon in clay, poses it in a real miniature scene, and photographs the result. Her cards have been appearing since Neo Discovery in 2001 and she is still active today, usually on the game’s most endearing subjects — Clefairy, Togepi, Applin, Sinistea.

The signature piece of any Morii collection is Delta Species (2005), which contains ten different clay Dittos — each one mid-transformation into another Pokémon. At around two hundred English cards, hers is one of the most completable artist master sets with a genuinely distinctive binder page every time.
