Illustrated by Aya Kusube, who started drawing for Pokemon in the late 90's. She's contributed over 130 cards, and has an affection for drawing ghost type Pokémon in particular. Her artwork leans towards using more cool colors. Detailed backgrounds in her later work show her evolution over time. 

Released on February 14th, 2005 as the 8th set in the EX series, this set, like much of this era, wasn’t printed as heavily making many of the cards less common. Featuring 3 gold star Pokemon, EX Deoxys also hosts a collection of fantastic reverse holos, and art.
