This isn’t the first time Ariga has been involved in designing for the Pokémon series: he designed the Amaura, Grubbin, Honedge, Inkay, and Tyrunt line of evolutions, as well as the Alolan Geodude and Grimer evolutions. Ariga also provided art for the Cosmic Eclipse expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, including the Pikachu card (which features a drawing of Red and Pikachu) and the Red & Blue Trainer Supporter card.
Pokémon Sword and Shield are available now for Nintendo Switch.
