Qwilfish LV.X hp90 :water:
LEVEL-UP Put onto Qwilfish
body: Toxic Spikes
Whenever your opponent puts one of their Benched Pokémon as their new Active Pokémon during your opponent's turn, that Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 2 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon in between turns.
:water:sychic: Reacting Splash 40
If the Defending Pokémon is Poisoned, you may do this damage to one of your opponent's Benched Pokémon instead.
:water:sychic::colorless Puffed Volley 20x
Flip 4 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. After doing damage, you may switch Qwilfish with 1 of your Benched Pokémon, or reduce damage done to Qwilfish during your opponent's next turn by 10 times the number of tails. Either way, the defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.
Weakness: :lightning +30
Resistance:
Retreat Cost: :colorless
Design notes:
First of all, you might notice the way I typed out the card is as how it looks like on the card itself. Now as for the card itself.
The HP stat is nothing remarkable. When it gets to the attacks and body, things get interesting. Qwilfish is a poison fish after all, so making him have toxic effects seems only natural. The wording about only your opponents turn is there to prevent Warp Point/Palkia/Pokeblower abuse, and therefore its body won't be of too much use - its just a lovely addition. Reacting Splash coincides nicely, letting you 2-shot most low HP bench sitters while still hurting the active. Puffed Volley plays on Qwilfish's fishy nature and gives him a secondary way of poisoning, and the ability to choose from damage reduction or running to the bench is a tactical play which would influence game outcomes heavily, if this card were ever to be made.
There is a cost of Psychic energy because of Qwilfish's poison subtype.
That is all.
