Here's a Mew*, which would be blue in color.

Mew*
80 HP
* Rule

PokePower: Miracle Switch
If Mew* would be affected by a Special Condition, flip a coin. If heads, the Attacking Pokemon now has that Special Condition. This power cannot be used if Mew* is affected by a Special Condition.

(P)(C) Frenzy Blast 30+
If Mew* has less than 40 HP left, flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 10 more damage and the Defending Pokemon is now Confused.

(P)(P)(P) Psycho Beam
Choose 2 of your opponent's Pokemon. This attack does 70 to each Pokemon you chose. Discard all Energies attched to Mew* or this attck does nothing.

Weakness: Dark
Resistance: Fighting
Retreat Cost: Free

What do you think? A bit broken, but at least its a good card.
 
Well, I think the Pokepower needs to be a Pokebody, since they can be used even if affected by a special condition, because that as a Pokepower is confusing.

Also, I think that Psycho Beam, seeing as it only requires 3 energies, should read : You may divide up 7 damage counters among two of your opponent's Pokemon in any way you choose. Discard 2 [P] energy cards attached to Mew* or this attack does nothing.

I mainly changed the attack for the sake of it being less broken, hope you don't mind the suggestions.

Best combo ever! Mew EX+ Mew*+ Electrode EX

Mew EX lets you get 2 energies per turn, and Electrode EX lets you get energies from the discard. Second attack makes you discard 2 energies.
 
LOL, yeah, that would own wouldn't it, I was thinkin Metagross DX, but that's probably better.
 
BT's "I'm bored. Feed me." Fix!

Mew*
Basic (P) Pokemon
80 HP
* Rule

Poke-Body: Miracle Switch
If Mew* would be affected by a Special Condition, flip a coin. If heads, the Attacking Pokemon is now affected by that Special Condition.

(P)(C) Frenzy Blast 30+
If Mew* has less than 40 HP left, flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage and the Defending Pokemon is now Confused.

(P)(P)(C) Psycho Beam
Choose 2 of your opponent's Pokemon. This attack does 50 to each of those Pokemon(Don't apply weakness or resistance for Benched Pokemon). Discard all Energies attched to Mew* or this attck does nothing. If Mew* has any Special Energy Cards attached to it, this attack does nothing.

Weakness: (P)
Resistance:
Retreat Cost: (C)

Type- Onoes, it's a typeless mew!
Miracle Switch- Nope. When Mew was affected by the special condition, due to your lack of wording, it's power would never be able to activate. Therefore, it needs to be a body with no restriction save the coin flip.
Frenzy Blast- 40 base damage is a bit much for a (P)(C) attack. 30 is good, though.
Psycho Beam- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Not even under the conditions you put it under, bub. That attack makes Blaziken ex and Steelix ex look like pansies, and this guy's a basic! My version is a lot better brokenscale wise.
Weakness- At least Nintendo has started one trend that is usually adhered to in the CaC section: Psychic types in the GBA are weak to (P) for Ghost, only Ghost types in the GBA are weak to (D).
Resistance- Believe it or not, the same deal. If this guy was an evolved Pokemon or a ghost, then maybe, just maybe, he could have (F) resistance.
Retreat Cost- Seldom do you see free retreat cost. Flying types, electric types, etc. But not on psychic types.
Overall- A few Grammar issues and the like, but not bad.
 
Well, Psychic Pokemon ARE resistant to Fighting. BT, I don't like the Special Enery thing for Psycho Beam, it was made with Scramble in mind. killerzeo, yeah, that's what I was thinking of somewhat, except for Mew ex. Oh, the free retreat was because it's so rarely seen, it must be quick enough to avoid detection.

I liked the free retreat cost because its Mew. Mew can use ANY attack, that means he can teleport, fly, whatever. He should have free retreat, IMO.

True, but it is shining so it has the 1 per deck ruling, I think it would be ok if a few cards broke the general template a little, it just can't become a "super-usual" thing. I like it with Mew* but I can definitely see where you're coming from.

True, but *s havent been around TOO long anyway, and let's face it, the UF ones are just annoying. Seeing as you can only have 1 in a deck, I think *s need to be better. Besides, everything that is currently held in regard of as far as templates go is just going to go straight out the window when Delta Species arrives, so you might as well get ready for unusual cards..

dom is correct, basically the only useful special energies restricted by this effect would be Rainbow(which isn't even legal anyways) and Multi.

And Xaej, I think everyone feels Pokemon * should be at least a little better then regular cards. Fact of the matter is, they already are, in most cases. You look at Torchic *, Treecko *, Mudkip *, and even Mew *. They have more HP then normal. THAT is the tradeoff. Because quite frankly, "one per deck" isn't that big a deal.

Yeah Burnintating_Torchic, but then there's the doggies.
Click to expand...

...yes. They were a sad excuse for any card, let alone a Pokemon *.
But beggers can't be choosers...or something.

If you have noticed from the dogs, RS starters, and regis(in japanese Eidolon Forest), they are only meant to be good when you're about to lose. They're comeback cards. That's why they're the way they are.
Your Mew * is not. If it had been warranted a comeback requirement such as those on the Nintendo made *s, it'd prolly have been fine.
