Above, we see the Slowpoke & Psyduck TAG TEAM GX Alternate Art from Sun & Moon – Unified Minds and the Ditto Illustration Rare from Crown Zenith. Now, we have seen Tanaka deliver cards of a higher rarity, including Alternate Arts and Illustration Rares. Tanaka kicked into high gear in the Sun & Moon era and has been contributing heavily once again, ever since. Contributions thinned out a bit during the classic eras, but began to pick up as we move more into the modern era with cards like the holographic Tornadus from Black & White – Legendary Treasures and Helioptile from Sun & Moon – Forbidden Light. Above, see her Skitty from EX Crystal Guardians. Tanaka was quite active during the vintage time period, including the e-series and EX eras. She stayed on through the Neo era, contributing many cards including this Elekid from Neo Genesis. It featured Dark Magneton, which looked hilariously angry in Tanaka's unique style. Tanaka's first holographic card came in the next set, Team Rocket. This era was heavy on Ken Sugimori's house style, which made Tanaka's minimalist and cartoony, almost cardboard-cutout-style illustrations stand out in a major way. Released in October 1999, this set came out back in the Wizards of the Coast days. Miki Tanaka's first card, Slowpoke, was included in the third Pokémon TCG set, Fossil.
