About Tika Matsuno
Tika Matsuno draws Pokémon like a naturalist: bright, low-saturation pastel scenes that collectors praise for showing how a Pokémon actually lives in its habitat, a sensibility fed by her own nature observation and insect illustration. A manga artist with a background in educational comics for children, she debuted in the TCG with Darkness Ablaze and has around 50 cards, while also designing Holowear outfits for Pokémon UNITE and drawing manga and illustrations for the Pokémon Cafe in Tokyo.
Their most valuable card is Mega Meganium ex (#272/217, Ascended Heroes), estimated at $70–$95. Cards are ordered by estimated market value.
