PLANETA Mochizuki

Pokémon card illustrator

PLANETA Mochizuki, whose real name is Juukou Mochizuki (born December 3, 1997), is a Japanese illustrator who contributed to the Pokémon TCG under the studio credit "PLANETA Mochizuki" from the Sword & Shield era (debuting with Darkness Ablaze in 2020) through the Scarlet & Violet era, illustrating over 150 cards across both the main TCG and Pokémon TCG Pocket. Their work focuses exclusively on Rule Box Pokémon — V, VMAX, and ex — rendered using 3D modeling software with extensive Photoshop post-processing and occasional hand-redrawing, resulting in crisp, high-polish full-art compositions. In July 2024 Mochizuki left PLANETA to work as a freelance illustrator, now credited as Ultimateinudog on new cards.
