Daily Pokemon Card

[Kayle]

This just sounds fun. ^ ^

So, I'm going to make a card for a randomly determined Pokemon every day. I'll usually boost NFEs to their full evolution stage, but otherwise, I'll try to be honest with you about what I pick. Whee!

Jynx lv. 35 ||| 80 HP
Basic Pokemon

Hypnotic Allure
Discard a energy attached to Jynx, then choose one of your opponent's Pokemon. If that Pokemon is on the Bench, switch it with your opponent's Active Pokemon. During your opponent's next turn, each of the Defending Pokemon's attacks costs more.

Powder Snow 30
Before doing damage, you may remove as many damage counters as you like from the Defending Pokemon. For each damage counter removed in this way, place a damage counter on one of your opponent's Benched Pokemon.

===============================================

Ariados lv. 35 ||| 80 HP
Stage 1 - evolves from Spinarak

Compound Poison
At any time in between turns, place one more damage counter on each of your opponent's Poisoned Pokemon.

[ . ] Spit String 10
The Defending Pokemon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn.

Poison Sleep 50+
If the Defending Pokemon is Poisoned, this attack does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on the Defending Pokemon. If the Defending Pokemon is not Poisoned, the Defending Pokemon is now Asleep and Poisoned.

RC
W x2

(now that I can legitimately bump this...)

Gastrodon lv. 27 ||| HP 90
Stage 1: Evolves from Shellos

Sticky Hold
As long as Gastrodon is your Active Pokemon, if the Defending Pokemon's Retreat Cost is more than the number of energy attached to Gastrodon, the Defending Pokemon can't retreat.

Gathering Grind 20x
This attack does 20 damage times the number of energy attached to Gastrodon. Before doing damage, you may search your discard pile for a basic energy and attach it to Gastrodon.

4 Weezing GE and Drapion X also equals 70 damage poison. <<

Tomorrow's Pokemon may be a δ Pokemon. ^ ^

gathering grind is pretty much a copy of Hippowdon RRs Gather Sand only it's 20x and not 20+.... i don't like this.... srry but i don't think it's such a good idea

Every exact part of the card doesn't need to be unique. Part of what's interesting is the combination of abilities the card has - imagining the things you could do with the card. I apologize that you can't see the inherent capabilities that the Gastrodon has to trap Pokemon by preventing them from retreating - or, if you did see it, I apologize that you aren't as amused by it as I am.

In further self-defense, Pokemon doesn't seem to care about individuality either, because Gallade 4, Zangoose PL, and Kabutops MD not only have the same attack, they also do the same thing (except damage changes) and they also are all in the same format. Look deeper into the Unlimited format and you'll find that there are a huge selection of attacks that have simply been reused from old cards.

When you're making a single card, keeping the ideas interesting and unusual is much easier. When you're expected to churn out something interesting on a daily basis, it gets unrealistic quite quickly. That's why many Pokemon cards have some feature that aren't terribly interesting (example: Blissey Prime's Strength attack).

Save Sand is also the same as Happy Chance from Blissey MT. By the way.

===============================================

Lickilicky lv. 41 ||| 100 HP
Stage 1- Evolves from Lickitung

Grapple
Once during your turn, you may move a damage counter from Lickilicky to the Defending Pokemon. This power can't be used if Lickilicky is affected by a special condition.

Slam 50
Lickilicky does 20 damage to itself.

Wring Out
Count the number of damage counters on the defending Pokemon. Place that many damage counters on the defending Pokemon.

===============================================
Well, here we are with the first Σ Pokemon I've decided to make. (Originally it was δ. But that was delta. I facepalmed.)

Σ Pokemon are pretty simple - it's a twist off of the delta species mechanic. They have some cards that work specifically with them, but what's most unusual is that they use energy types completely unrelated to their own type (which is unchanged), allowing them to be mixed into decks that normally couldn't run a Pokemon of that type without a convoluted energy line.

They seem like fun.

Here's today's!

===============================================

Kabutops Σ lv. 45 ||| 110 HP
Stage 2 - evolves from Kabuto

Steel Shell
As long as Kabutops Σ has any Energy attached to it, reduce all damage done to Kabutops Σ by 20.

Crush Claw 40+
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 40 more damage and discard an energy attached to the Defending Pokemon. You may discard a basic energy attached to Kabutops Σ; if you do, you may treat the coin flip result as heads.

Mega Drain 60
Remove 4 damage counters from Kabutops Σ.

^tanktank
So much tank.
Reduce by 60 and heal 40.
So... Much... Tank.

[Kayle]

Yes, it's a super tank. It's lots of fun.

I have LOTS of cards to make, so I better just get started...

Clefable Σ lv. 36 ||| 90 HP
Stage 1 - evolves from Clefairy

Fabled Strength
Damage from each of your Pokemon's attacks is not affected by Resistance.

Cosmic Crush 40
Until the end of your next turn, the Defending Pokemon takes 40 more damage from attacks.

===============================================

Uxie Σ lv. 51 ||| 70 HP
Basic Pokemon

Memory Curse
Once during your turn, you may choose as many cards as you like from your opponent's hand and put them on top of their deck in any order. For each card you choose, put a damage counter on Uxie Σ.

Memento
Put Uxie Σ and all cards attached to it on the bottom of your deck. If you do, choose one of your opponent's Pokemon and discard all cards attached to that Pokemon. (If you have no Benched Pokemon, this attack does nothing.)

===============================================

Alakazam lv. 47 ||| 110 HP
Stage 2 - Evolves from Kadabra

Magic Charge
Put Alakazam and all cards attached to it into the Lost Zone. (This counts as a Knocked Out Pokemon.) If you do, search your deck for as many basic Energy cards as you like and attach them to your Pokemon in any way you like.

Focus Blast 100+
You may flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 100 damage plus 40 more damage. If tails, discard an energy attached to Alakazam.

RC

[sapphdrgn]

i just noticed that all of the E cards use Energies that are the opposite of their types. For example: Clefable's weakness is (x2) and u had it so that he uses 1 Energy in his attack. i just recomend that u start to use different types so it's not always their opposites.

[Kayle]

Kabutops (weak to ) uses .
Kingler (weak to ) uses .
Uxie (weak to ) uses .

On a side note, I love Uxie Σ. It seems like such a delicious disruptor.

I apologize if that card doesn't seem terribly interesting. Trust me, it is/will be. ;P

[kyroid]

Very good, very good

[Cardz5000]

So... do Sigma Species evolve, or are they like Pokémon SP?

[Kayle]

They are similar to δ Pokemon, except their evolution lines aren't Σ as well (I haven't been including evolution stages, sorry, I'll go add all that in). Σ represents a specialization/training, in using energy of different types.

[Kayle]

Garchomp Σ lv. 66 ||| 130 HP

RC

This card is broken. I can't believe I just made it. Yikes.

[Cardz5000]

Garchomp is ground type... why would the Sigma Species use Fighting (ground) Energy?

[Kayle]

All Garchomp cards thus far are Colorless type.

Also, because I said so. Since when does Garchomp have resistance ?

[emodicer]

What is Garchomp Σ's type anyway (just to clarify)? Unless it's , you're contradicting yourself based on your definition of Sigma Pokemon. Also the Resistance is odd (especially since you never indicated that a Sigma Pokemon can have varied W/R than their non-Sigma counterparts). The card is not really broken (as compared to some cards I see posted in this forum ).

AAAAAAGH I KEEP FORGETTING THE TYPE >_<
lol sorry. Thank you!

Resistance is odd (especially since you never indicated that a Sigma Pokemon can have varied W/R than their non-Sigma counterparts). The card is not really broken (as compared to some cards I see posted in this forum ).

Actually, I put the resistance down to me being really tired when I made it, and thinking that he was Dragon/Flying or something similarly stupid. I'm going to switch it to now that I'm more awake. -_-" Sorry about the attitude there, Cardz.

His energy type was deliberate, though. It stays, even though in some technical sense it isn't different from normal - I just have yet to see a Garchomp that uses anyway. I consider it primary Dragon.

And compared to the rest of my cards that I'm trying really hard to keep relatively balanced... Garchomp Σ, along with any poke-power poison and Ariados, is really kinda scary. =D

How does Kabutops E reduce 60? I'm not seeing it....

[Kayle]

Reduce by 20.
But reducing by 20 and healing 40 is pretty insane tank.

Hmm, if someone posts a suggestion for today's Pokemon before I decide to roll one up~, I'll take my favorite suggestion and make a bunch of trainers too~

[milotic101]

how about leafeon and glaceon?
i love the eevee-lutions
