M5 Abyss Eye (May 22, 2026)

I’m a massive fan of Mega Darkrai.

If Darkrai is a Pokémon of nightmares, then Mega Darkrai is such a good representation of even more nightmares, it goes right to the precipice of that theme just without jumping the shark. Egawa was a great choice for the artist too.

On a more negative note, there is absolutely nothing ‘special’ about those SAR Zeraora and Chandelure, both would not look out of place in the slightest as uncommon bulk.

Haha this Morpeko is awesome. Kind of reminds me of this scene of Gogeta from DBS: Broly

Happy to have a nice image of the Slowbro for the all-language spreadsheet, I was starting to think the art might have those grid lines from the leaked image :laughing:

Thank you for all you do @koala to document these new releases!

This is great example of modern full arts doing their thing masterfully (especially to a gEnWuNnEr like me) - I couldn’t care less about Dhelmise, but this artwork is fantastic and I will absolutely be buying a copy!

NOOOOOOOOO ! We got robed of a good Rampardos SAR :sob: Well at least that Darkrai looks nice, even though a more contrasting artwork would have been insane !
