Aesthetic: This release was designed to feel like a true modern classic, something that instantly stands out while still fitting naturally alongside official titles. The label artwork leans into the darker, more mysterious tone of Pokémon Lazarus, finished with a holographic effect that catches the light and gives it that premium trading card feel.
