Pokémon TCG - Staryu 030/172 - Sword & Shield: Brilliant Stars - Art by Yuka Morii

This card showcases the instantly recognizable physical craft of iconic TCG artist Yuka Morii. Rather than relying on 2D digital graphics or traditional paintings, Yuka Morii hand-crafts physical 3D clay models of each Pokémon. She then places her sculptures into real-world, miniature outdoor scenes—here setting Staryu along a glistening, rocky shoreline—and shoots the entire setup with professional macro photography.

Her signature process brings Staryu to life with natural outdoor lighting, tangible clay textures, and realistic depth, making it a must-have for Yuka Morii binder collections and master sets!
