Here's some cards I came up with recently

Focus Band
item/tool
If this Pokemon has no damage counters on it and would be knocked out by damage, then this pokemon is not knocked out and has 10 damage remaining.

Viridian Forest
Stadium
As often as each player likes, they may move grass energy attached to one of their pokemon to another one of their pokemon.

The above statement is accurate..
The Hitmonlee is also horribly broken. 1-shot a DarkraiEX for the cost of a single colorless energy? You couldn't even have the mercy to make it a double colorless?

Charizard isn't broken, unless I'm missing something key.

In fact, it looks a bit like Mewtwo LvX. Oh wait.
Click to expand...

Unless the text is bad, it is not like MewtwoLvX. It's like Klingklang(PS).. Exept it works on all your Pokemon not just Metal.. And can't be countered with a Rayquaza, Absol or Kyurem.
 
Charizard should have the requirement to be active for that ability to be reasonable.

For example, a tyranitar from another thread.


Tyranitar

:fighting: Stage 2 Pokémon, 170 HP

Ability: Dark Domination
As long as this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, if the Defending Pokémon is a basic Pokémon, it can't attack, and this Pokémon can use the attacks of that Pokémon as its own. (You still need the necessary Energy to use each attack.)

:fighting::fighting::colorless: Earth Wave 110+
You may discard a :fighting: Energy attached to each of your Pokémon with any :fighting: Energy attached to it. If you do, this attack does 20 more damage for each Energy discarded this way.

Weakness: :water: 2x
Resistance:
Retreat Cost: :colorless::colorless::colorless:


And compare Hitmonlee's attack to that of Sawk from Megalo Cannon.

:colorless: Square Kick 10+
If the Defending Pokémon is a Team Plasma Pokémon, this attack does 40 more damage.

It's already really strong, particularly when you factor in the level ball compatibility and synergy with silver bangle. And hitmonlee is way stronger than that. I feel that same effect, 10+40, damage would be good. Nothing should one-shot broken basics that EASILY.

And a word about wording. Whenever there's a search effect, you should include that the cards you searched for go into your hand or whatever. Even if it's obvious, it looks silly to me without it.

The setup Pokémon look very nice, though.
