Ah, Zeraora makes sense. I initially thought it was Falinks. But everything else is cats except the toys, so Zeraora is the pick.

Good call on Sneasel!
As for that bit; there’s definitely something there, but I can’t tell what. Perhaps the eventual English printing will give us more to work with? I’ve been looking at feline Pokémon, which is why Sneasel didn’t come to mind earlier.
Looks like Kirby, but probably a Chansey

What about the bottom two ones? Not distinct enough? My 1st thought is Glaceon/Leafeon.

AR Arbok looking pretty cool. Also like the Meltan
The more I look at the Arbok card the more the lighting bothers me. If that is the moon behind them then what is the light source casting the leaves’ shadows on Arbok’s body?
Either way I still love the syle and colours and look forward to getting it.

There is also a shadow cast by the branches on supposed background sky with the moon, which suggests that it is a surface. So I wonder if the entire image is a (water?) reflection of some sort. Maybe these Pokémon are not actually real, but cutouts of a diorama or 3D picture book

Could be, much to think about!
It’s just a documentary crew that finally captured an Arbok about to strike its prey. Unfortunately, an inexperienced wildlife photographer used flash while taking a picture of the event. This caused the Toucannon to immediately fly away and the Arbok to become enraged. Arbok then sent its focus to the crew and they had to run. Everyone got mad at the new guy for his mistake, but when they went over the footage they were shocked. The photo that caused the commotion was phenomenal. It became the front cover of Pokewildlife Weekly and is finally being turned into a pokemon card.
Pretty straightforward.
