Additional tips
- Try a sage green, mint, and charcoal sleeve story around Brute Bonnet's grass-type and dark-type identity — mat color does more work than people admit in photos.
- Photograph the Brute Bonnet page under warm side light once and cool once — you'll quickly see which copy deserves the top-left anchor slot.
- National Dex #986 is a quiet flex on dividers or handwritten indices — collectors who sort by number will thank you.
- Canon tags Brute Bonnet as Paradox Pokémon, gray colour stories, and a quadruped silhouette — chase prints that lean into that identity instead of generic stock poses.
