Scariest/most menacing art in the TCG?

In your opinion, what’s the scariest/most menacing looking art in the TCG?

Other card games out there I feel like do this all the time, but Pokémon seems to go the cute or badass route most of the time.

I want to see more stuff like the Darkrai LEGEND art.


What else is out there that I don’t know about?

I feel the background in Sabrina’s Gengar and Dark Haunter is more menacing than the Pokemon itself.

Also here’s your daily dose of thalassophobia. :dotted_line_face:

I think this Flutter Mane has a menacing atmosphere. I really like this artwork.

Hitmonlee may have just straight up murdered a Fearow in it’s own home in Vending Series. If you look close enough, you can see Fearow and it’s loved ones in the little picture frame.

However powerful scary or menacing a pokemon is, they all bend in front of the boss wigglytough

This is a concept that really intrigues me, I love menacing artworks and I even had this little thread here in the past, if you’re interested.

I really love this artwork as well, it has Skyridge Umbreon vibes to me

As for scariest/most menacing, I would not want to get on the wrong side of TRR Dark Slowking

Shina Nagasawa really has so many more I could add to this thread, especially from the S&M, XY era but if I had to pick my two favourites of his.

Lugia V comes to mind. I think in combination with the deep dark sea it looks kinda scary especially imagining me being that poor guy on the boat.

Don’t forget the evolved form. :slight_smile:


Anyway, the scariest TCG artwork remains this one imo: a Sentret sucking on the udders of a miniature limbless and headless cow that’s being held by someone..
