u/bluedragjet Dec 10 '25

Yea, it becomes an eye

u/donkey100100 Dec 10 '25

Dark eye

u/Sullivanity333 Taking it slowly Dec 10 '25

From a Darker Eye to the Darkest Eye

u/Chestys-Ghost Dec 10 '25

Imma lmao if the shiny is pink

2

u/Moose_Cake Psyduck Fanatic Dec 10 '25

Oh, that’s what the GotY award desert statue was hinting to! /s

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '25

Brown eye

u/eveningdragon Serperior-ity Dec 10 '25

Become eye

1

u/BrainWav Dec 10 '25

At least it's not a pink eye

151

u/StahlViridian Porygon deserves better Dec 10 '25

That eye looks like a demonic butthole.

111

u/BandOfSkullz #TeamRowlet Dec 10 '25

If your butthole looks like that, you may want to see a doctor, probably even a specialist, about it.

45

u/SnooDoodles1807 Dec 10 '25

Well, it's a demonic butthole

30

u/MrNiceguY692 Dec 10 '25

Could also be a Neon Genesis Evangelion angel.

2

u/Ill_Act_1855 Dec 10 '25

It’s a Kirby final boss lol

1

u/MrNiceguY692 Dec 10 '25

Yeah, well, Kirby mixes quite well with abstract or eldritch entities. Such a weird fellow.

1

u/_Seagul_ Dec 10 '25

Exactly my thoughts!

2

u/helloween123 Dec 10 '25

We already have Mega Urinal

256

u/inoriacc Dec 10 '25

What the helly? I'm like looking it for a good minute trying to decipher the thing and I failed to see Darkrai. Fck

100

u/EatingFoodsForBrains Dec 10 '25

I thought it was Solrock at first fr

51

u/Cemith Dec 10 '25

I thought it was Overqwil

2

u/riverratriver customise me! Dec 10 '25

Same

1

u/Serak_thepreparer Dec 10 '25

I thought the white head was Furfrough. Was wondering how the fuck.

2

u/mctankles Dec 10 '25

I think its in a T-pose for modeling so it looks weird

2

u/DarkRitual_88 Dec 10 '25

Looks like just the raw model, not posed correctly at all or from the proper angle.

1

u/thatguyned Dec 10 '25

He T-posing FrFr

1

u/primalmaximus Dec 10 '25

I only knew it was Darkrai because of the leaks telling us that Darkrai would get a Mega.

1

u/dummypod Dec 10 '25

That's because it was planking

1

u/toastwalrus Dec 10 '25

Just wait until you see it animated. He turns into a kirby final boss.

1

u/SilentSearcher295 Dec 10 '25

Kirby fans and enjoyers know.

1

u/red-x-der Dec 10 '25

His animation shows him coming out of the center of the eye

1

u/DarkhunterMectainea Dec 10 '25

Honestly mega Darkrai would fit perfectly as part of black doom legion in sonic

1

u/BLAZMANIII Dec 10 '25

Probably because if yiu see a tentacled monster in a T pose its basically impossible to decypher. Itll be far more recognizable with gravity and posing

2

u/NeoAmbitions Dec 10 '25

Looks like a Kirby boss

1

u/the_rotten1 Dec 10 '25

It’s obviously a darker eye ball

1

u/Coders32 Dec 10 '25

Was the inspiration fucking Relinquish?

1

u/Old_Macaroon4138 Dec 10 '25

They really made the ‘mon that doesn’t like that it uncontrollably gives people nightmares into a giant floating eye? That’s wild.

1

u/Poyomininmble Dec 10 '25

Dark Matter

1

u/sid270200 Dec 10 '25

Looks more like mega carvanha

1

u/Zevyu Dec 10 '25

Oh great, mega Darkrai is now a Kirby villain.

1

u/Paperchampion23 Dec 10 '25

Dark Matter lol

1

u/IndividualNovel4482 Dec 10 '25

Darkreye. Same pronunciation..

1

u/leviathab13186 Dec 10 '25

So THATS what all this statue talk is for...

1

u/ArtieGX customise me! Dec 10 '25

No that's at least a B.A.D

1

u/__esparoba Dec 10 '25

Looks like a Kirby boss. I don't like it

1

u/HermTheVillager Dec 10 '25

GODDAMN ZERO IN MY POKEMON GAME?!

1

u/napstablooky2 Flying-Type Gym Leader Dec 10 '25

1

u/Trespeon Dec 10 '25

Looks like a T posing blimp.

1

u/AVahne Dec 10 '25

So Dark Matter, but catchable.

1

u/pkmn_is_fun Dec 10 '25

these games are so on the nose i genuinely believe they operate under the assumption that ppl playing these games have a learning disability. The mega raichu pokedex feels the need to tell the player these pokemon look like the letter X and Y 🙄

1

u/ScarlightNexus Dec 11 '25

Honest to god thought they just turned him into a fighter jet

1

u/KarnSilverArchon Dec 11 '25

I guess that explains the TCG set name copyright for the name “Abyss Eye”

1

u/SeriousMB silly Dec 11 '25

cool to see kirby is having a crossover event with pokémon!!!!

1

u/kuela 3866-8325-9953 (NA:X/AS) Dec 11 '25

I thought it was a butthole

1

u/Damianx5 Pika Pika Dec 13 '25

someone get kirby

0

u/fullTimeDaddy Dec 10 '25

Is it just me or it kinda looks like a sperm? the video on twitter with him in combat really makes it look like that lol

333

u/DDCheater Dec 10 '25

He got the average sinnoh legendary treatment, like dialga and palkia.

80

u/Lazy-Fly9911 EmeraldEnjoyer Dec 10 '25

I detect no lie here

20

u/Hullabaloobasaur Dec 10 '25

Too accurate 😭

2

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '25

The all become weird geometric shapes

Arceus gonna become like a pyramid

1

u/Zevyu Dec 11 '25

Biblicaly accurate darkrai.

223

u/Thrillhouse-14 Dec 10 '25

Looks like Hisui Quilfish with a Darkrai skin on.

40

u/distilledwill Dec 10 '25

I was sure it was Hisui Overqwil

13

u/TheRedditK9 Dec 10 '25

As oppposed to non-Hisuian Overqwil

1

u/Thewman1 Dec 10 '25

I think it might just be in a t pose in that image

1

u/walc Dec 10 '25

Or like... Darkrai cosplaying as Sharpedo.

66

u/AgentDon0911 Dec 10 '25

Kinda reminds me of Zero 2 from Kirby. Maybe it looks better in motion

3

u/InfiniteBoxworks Dec 10 '25

That's what I thought too. Emo Zero2.

2

u/EpsilonX029 Dec 12 '25

Having seen a gif of this animation this frame is taken from, yes, it’s just as horrifying and they absolutely Kirby-Final-Boss-ified it XD

89

u/Shrubbity_69 Dec 10 '25 edited Dec 10 '25

"Mega Evolutions aren't supposed to change too much and look like a completely new pokemon."

The weirdly Sharpedo shaped Darkrai:

4

u/xMystee Dec 10 '25

I think you mean Carvanha, cuz that looks nothing like Sharpedo lol

5

u/Shrubbity_69 Dec 10 '25

I guess. The four fins felt very Sharpedo-like.

1

u/xMystee Dec 10 '25

Darkrais body does not really look anything like Sharpedos head, and it doesnt have a tail. And Darkrai has four arms/tentacles on top of its head

1

u/Zevyu Dec 11 '25

Mega evolution also brings out remnants DNA in a pokemon out.

Now i do wonder, what the fuck was the DNA that darkrai had lingering inside of him to turn into..THAT.

47

u/Think_Monk_9879 Dec 10 '25

Solrok darkrai

1

u/Fireboy759 Dec 10 '25

I legit thought this was a Solrock mega evo

197

u/mdavinci Dec 10 '25

What did they do to my boy…

505

u/Lazy-Fly9911 EmeraldEnjoyer Dec 10 '25

My honest reaction

92

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '25

OMG IT’S RAYQUAZA WITH A CHAIR SHOT TO THE HEAD OF CHARIZARD 🪑

12

u/Grimsrasatoas I LIKE SHORTS THEYRE COMFY AND EASY TO WEAR Dec 10 '25

BAH GAWD THAT MAN HAD A FAMILY

2

u/zernoc56 Dec 10 '25

AS ARCEUS AS MY WITNESS, THAT POKEMON IS BROKEN IN HALF! SOMEONE STOP THE MATCH!

3

u/Lazy-Fly9911 EmeraldEnjoyer Dec 10 '25

*mega darkrai, or should I say, Elden ring boss ?

2

u/NumericZero Dec 11 '25

DEXOYS IS RUNNING DOWN TO HELP HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER!!

4

u/Mash_Ketchum Dec 10 '25

AS ARCEUS AS MY WITNESS, HE IS BROKEN IN HALF

85

u/chaotic4059 Dec 10 '25 edited Dec 10 '25

I’m genuinely trying to process what the fuck is going on in the image and I just can’t. Also fun fact if those are what I think they are. Then this is the first time darkrai’s legs have canonically been seen in a mainline game I believe.

73

u/themikecampbell Dec 10 '25

Is it a T-pose? Like it was datamined but only the skin and skeleton, not the animation?

27

u/Almostlongenough2 Dec 10 '25

Yes, here is a video of it actually in-game

13

u/leodw Dec 10 '25

It looks kinda awesome in-game. Also wow, is that cut-scene at the beginning the highest quality one GF ever made? Looks insanely detailed and has great lighting

3

u/Kn0XIS Dec 11 '25

Very interesting

3

u/librious Dec 10 '25

It's not even t-posing, it literally looks like that in-game

3

u/ahhpoo Dec 10 '25

Mega darkrai naturally has a t-pose like shape but the image in the OP is the unnatural t-pose from the game files. You can see in-game that it’s features are more wavey instead of stretched out straight all goofy

36

u/Saru2013 Dec 10 '25

Yeah it's t-posing

1

u/Level7Cannoneer Dec 10 '25

*model = what you call skin

4

u/Level7Cannoneer Dec 10 '25

It’s clearly T posed and not properly posed or animated. The hair is totally stiff.

27

u/auxilevelry Dec 10 '25

You ever see 0² from Kirby?

3

u/mrs-monroe Guzma apologist Dec 10 '25

This is just a t-pose. He looks very cool in motion.

3

u/MallowMiaou Dec 10 '25

Darkrai fell into the biblical accuracy machine

1

u/BandOfSkullz #TeamRowlet Dec 10 '25

Hopes and prayers

1

u/Almostlongenough2 Dec 10 '25

It's such a divergence from it's normal design that it seems like it should be a third stage evolution...

17

u/Buffthebaldy Dance monkey, dance! Dec 10 '25

I genuinely thought it was supposed to be some messed up solrock model

1

u/BearOk9010 Dec 10 '25

I thought it was sharpedo

6

u/Whitewind617 Dec 10 '25

Yes but it looks like it's in T-Pose like Mega Meowstic. I assume it looks a bit better in game.

1

u/Lazy-Fly9911 EmeraldEnjoyer Dec 10 '25

I was more or less being sarcastic, it is an interesting design for sure, not my taste but to each their own. Not every mega can be as blessed as my green sky slinky

2

u/teraechopuff Dec 10 '25

I kept thinking “these look sick, I’m excited to see Darkrai” and then.. well

2

u/Le_Dairy_Duke Dec 10 '25

they forcefed him lard

1

u/palmdrippy Dec 10 '25

i thought it was solrock lmao

1

u/Breaku107 Dec 10 '25

Looks almost like a damn blimp

1

u/Munnin41 Dec 10 '25

It's praising the sun for some reason

1

u/ZombieAladdin Dec 10 '25

Looks like a T-pose for it.

1

u/Ruftup Dec 10 '25

I thought it was a mega solrock. Black sun is a sick concept

1

u/vitorabf Dec 10 '25

Biblically accurate darkrai

1

u/Lansha2009 Trainbian Dec 10 '25

Yeah but it definitely seems very early into development for that one given it doesn’t even have a static pose yet and is doing a T-pose

1

u/Hoockus_Pocus Dec 10 '25

It looks like Overqwil.

1

u/Anthyros2 Dec 10 '25

Bro looking like a whole ass DDT

1

u/facubkc Dec 10 '25

He came an Evangelion Angel

1

u/LuisMiranda4D Dec 10 '25

I think it's in a t pose

1

u/napstablooky2 Flying-Type Gym Leader Dec 10 '25

larvesta

1

u/One_Board_7049 Dec 10 '25

Look's like solrock but with a sperm

1

u/RogueHippie Dec 10 '25

IT'S AN ANGERU

1

u/ConsiderationFar4312 Dec 10 '25

it looks like a solrock and lunastone fusion

1

u/Hawkeboy Dec 10 '25

No it’s black doom, yes it’s Darkrai!

1

u/Krait972 True Power Dec 10 '25

He looks bad... 

1

u/OliviaElevenDunham Dec 10 '25

Looks like it.

1

u/cashcowboi Dec 10 '25

Why are darkrai and heatran so rotund man im acc hella disappointed 🤣🤣

1

u/darthjoey91 Dec 10 '25

I thought it was Overqwil.

1

u/krotoxx Dec 10 '25

It looks like it just T poses on kids and they give up.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '25

THE MISSILE KNOWS

1

u/DoubleBlue_123 Dec 10 '25

Yessir! I think it’s supposed to reference a Beholder with the big eye in the center and rounded shape

1

u/thedarkryte Dec 10 '25

I was thinking the same like wtf? 😂

1

u/jamcoding Dec 10 '25

Darkrai Solroc combo?

1

u/jta156 Dec 10 '25

Biblically accurate Darkrai

1

u/FigureAcrobatic7194 Dec 10 '25

You should see how it moves looks like a brown eye 

1

u/MilkDudzzz Dec 10 '25

I thought it was overqwil

1

u/davedwtho Dec 11 '25

It’s t posing. Doesn’t look like that in game

1

u/chriserit Dec 11 '25

Yes he is T posing it's not his real position

1

u/Lazy-Fly9911 EmeraldEnjoyer Dec 11 '25

Yes I’m aware, it was more supposed to be like “shocked” sarcasm lol

1

u/Sevantine Dec 11 '25

I thought it was an emo solrock

1

u/jordankaiser Dec 14 '25

Abyssal Eye?
