nagimiso Pokemon Cards: Mega Scrafty ex SAR & Cyber Judge Trio Guide

Who Is nagimiso?

nagimiso’s Japanese-language name, per Bulbapedia, is 凝水そう. Limitless’s exact-artist search (artist:"nagimiso" lang:jp) returns 161 Japanese-language Pokemon TCG prints, the figure used throughout this guide for card count. Serebii’s Cardex, which counts reprints and uses its own methodology, lists 149 cards for the same artist. Neither number is wrong — they’re measuring the catalog through different counting rules, and we keep them separate rather than blending them into one headline figure.

Per Serebii’s Cardex, nagimiso’s first credited prints were Team Aqua’s Kyogre-EX and Team Magma’s Groudon-EX, both from 2015’s Double Crisis — a small-format expansion built around the Team Aqua/Team Magma rivalry rather than a mainline numbered set. After that debut, roughly two and a half years pass with no further credited prints in the Cardex record before nagimiso reappears during the Burning Shadows era and becomes a far more frequent contributor from that point forward — a pattern that shows up clearly across the Scarlet & Violet and MEGA-era Special Art Rares covered below, which cluster almost entirely in 2024 through 2026.

That means most of nagimiso’s highest-profile work sits in a fairly narrow, recent window. Rather than a decade of steady output, the catalog reads more like an early one-off contribution followed by a concentrated, multi-year run once the Scarlet & Violet era got underway — three Special Art Rares in Cyber Judge alone, plus further ex and Trainer prints across five more sets through mid-2026.

nagimiso’s catalog sits alongside other illustrators we track closely, including sui and kirisAki, both of whom have their own guides covering their most notable printings.

In Stock Now: PSA 10 Mega Scrafty ex SAR

Mega Scrafty ex, card 241 of 193 in November 2025’s MEGA Dream ex set, is a Special Art Rare and the nagimiso print currently sitting in our PSA 10 vault. Special Art Rare is the full-illustration rarity tier that carries the Pokemon over an alternate, scene-style background rather than the standard card frame — the tier where nagimiso’s recent headline prints sit. Mega Scrafty ex is the most direct way to own a confirmed nagimiso illustration today rather than tracking a restock. A PSA 10 copy is currently listed at ¥8,972 (mise à jour : épuisé — demande de réassort via Quick Order).

MEGA Dream ex belongs to the same MEGA-era run as Storm Emeralda, and it’s where nagimiso’s 2025 output lands alongside the Cyber Judge and Inferno X prints covered below. For the wider MEGA Dream ex chase-card lineup, see our MEGA Dream ex set guide.

Mega Sharpedo ex and Team Rocket’s Houndoom

Mega Sharpedo ex, M2 113/080, is a Special Art Rare from September 26, 2025’s Inferno X — nagimiso’s other MEGA-era ex print alongside Mega Scrafty ex. For the rest of the Inferno X lineup, see our Inferno X set guide.

Team Rocket’s Houndoom, SV10 100/098, is an Art Rare from April 18, 2025’s Glory of Team Rocket — a different rarity tier from the ex Special Art Rares above, and the one entry in nagimiso’s catalog covered here that sits in the Team Rocket subset rather than a mainline ex or Paradox-Pokemon line. Art Rare sits a step below Special Art Rare in most Scarlet & Violet-era sets, typically pairing a Pokemon with an expanded background illustration rather than a full alternate scene.

Beyond the Cards: nagimiso in Pokemon TCG Pocket

nagimiso’s work extends into Pokemon TCG Pocket, the mobile card game, where nagimiso is credited with 37 cards since the app’s Genetic Apex launch, per Serebii’s Pocket Cardex. That’s a separate catalog from the physical TCG prints covered above — TCG Pocket runs its own card set with its own numbering, so the 37-card Pocket count and the 161-card physical-print count aren’t directly comparable, but together they show nagimiso’s output spans both the paper game and its mobile counterpart.

Beyond the TCG Pocket credit and the print catalog covered above, no further biographical or commercial detail about nagimiso has been confirmed through the sources this guide relies on, so we don’t speculate beyond what’s documented.
