Now this would be rad! Could make it feel slightly ominous to capture the danger

Starmie would be a big part of the set. Starmie is considered by many in the pokemon world to be an extraterrestrial due to its ability to transmit light into space.

Eternatus/ Eternamax would be in it too I guess. With its ability to change its size it reminds me a bit of Azathoth and similar Lovecraftian creatures. And Ultra Beasts too. (I am not a fan of them but it seems logical.)

Eternatus / Eternamax love it! I enjoy how the Ultra Beasts are from other Pokemon Universes. Can you remind me about Azathoth and Lovecraftian creatures. Not too familiar with those species.

Azathoth is a monstrous, chaotic deity in the Cthulhu Mythos. Described as a massive, formless being at the center of the universe, He is said to be both the creator of all existence and completely mindless. He exists in a state of eternal slumber, surrounded by a court of other gods who play pipes and drums to keep it from waking. Summoned by cultists he could easily become as big as the earth and crush us out of existence.
Other creatures you might have heard of are Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep or Shub-Niggurath. Many of them are kind of shapeless or have way to many tentacles.
Lovecraft wrote mostly Horror and Fiction. Traveling between worlds or universes was kind of established by him. He kind of invented the Horror from Outer Space and inspired many writers and movies.

NOw we’re cooking with fire. Upgrading each others designs is wicked fun to me.

@Ragdajin Thank You for this reminder about H.P. Lovecraft! I think I heard his name in a Horror Film class in college. I love the juxtaposition of a powerful entity in the center of universe being a sleeping creator and mindless. This is excellent deep space horror; I love it. I love Tentacles too!
In the Pokemon World and Universe it appears to me that most sets we get also include the cute Pokemon right, like the starters. The set I want is like a super deep episode 1 vibe of Pokemon going back into time with all these deep space Pokemon. Arceus, Azelf, Dialga, Eternatus, Giratina, Mesprit, Rayquaza, Cosmog and evolutions ect. To name a few.
Then just maybe a few cute Pokemon that could look good in spacesuits or are already living in space on asteroids. Maybe like a Cleffa or Minior for the cute cards. All other cards would be like tag team with these deep space pokemon. Just some thoughts I had on a creative walk.
