There is something genuinely lovely about seeing so many Pokémon gathered together in a sun-drenched coastal scene like this. It feels less like a battle and more like everyone has been given the afternoon off — Pikachu lounging by a wooden jetty, Slowpoke taking up entirely too much room in the shallows, and a chaotic little rowboat situation involving some very enthusiastic Water-types.

This is part of Ravensburger's Collector's Edition range, and the artwork has a real sense of depth to it — mountains fading into a soft pastel sky, a red-and-white lighthouse perched on the rocks, and Flying-types wheeling overhead. It's the kind of image you find yourself getting lost in, spotting a different Pokémon every time you look.

The mix of bright turquoise water, earthy dock timbers, rocky shorelines, and a sky full of soft cloud detail means there's plenty of variety to keep you engaged across the full 1000 pieces — though the open water sections will definitely keep you on your toes. A brilliant build for any Pokémon fan, and genuinely gorgeous once it's done.
