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.

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
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 Well at least that Darkrai looks nice, even though a more contrasting artwork would have been insane !
