Well well well… my sights are set on it for my new goal of 896/896 Living Dex.

Meh, not liking the look of this one too much. From the silhouette alone it looks like its overrun with doodads. Seems pretty in line with most of the more recent mythicals in that sense.
Here’s my extended thoughts on the topic that nobody asked for.
I hate sounding like an old “things were better back in the day” person because it’s a sentiment I generally despise, but I can’t help but feel like it applies well to my feelings on mythicals.
From gen I to gen IV, mythicals had this elegant simplicity to them, a look of mysterious grace that really sold their extremely elusive and powerful nature. They were not only rock-solid designs, they really had a coherent aesthetic going for them. Actually, I should say gen IV’s myhticals aren’t quite that simple, they’re a bit of a stepping stone for the complexity of later generations. But in effect gen 1-3’s mythicals are among the absolute best designs in the series IMO, and gen IV’s are great additions too. Arceus starts running into the trend of complicated designs, but it being the pokegod and it’s design articulating its divinity pretty well, I think it works perfectly.
But from gen V onward, to me overall we’ve just had this mush of mythicals that have generally been less striking while having more cluttered designs and often less distinctive lore attached to them, giving them a reason to exist. They’re not horrendous, and there are some exceptions, especially in the gen VII batch, but it just feels like the overall concept has lost it’s magic since gen V and I no longer really look forward to new ones.
