This is a small set (45 total cards) based around the legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. Also, while it has influences from the newest Pokémon products (lv x mechanic, DP trainers), it is more of a showcase for many of The Guide's wacky mechanics, including a brand new usage of the experienced mechanic!
Some guidelines first. Various cards have this [...] text next to them. These are individual, obrigatory characteristics for the card next to it. Rarity is only a fancy embellishment to the set list, ignore it when actually doing the card. Other than Experienced and !!, the mechanics are simple, just search The Guide (or current format cards for the newer stuff, such as Holon's and LV.X) for the descriptor, that should provide you information enough to do the card. Anyone is free to reserve or do a card, but this set may only have 1 copy of each card. Done cards will be bolded, reserved cards will be italicized.
For the cards that say only "Must be an Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres", be creative! BTW, their title isn't "????", change that to something that has Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres on it. Include extra descriptors/suffixes if you want. Also change the "???" on "???'s Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres" to whatever owner you choose.
As for Moltres-!!... by now, you must have read The Guide and figured out that "!!" isn't an actual suffix, but instead a common expression for all mechanics that involve a Pokémon that gives 3 or more Prizes once knocked out. So, when you make this card, you must change that "-!!" to an actual mechanic that makes a pokémon give 3 or more prizes. It doesn't need to be one of the currently existing ones (and if anything, it shouldn't be, BT doesn't like people who mess with his mechanics), so what you should do is create the Moltres first, balancing its power with the number of prizes it gives, put two capital letters together to the right of your new Moltres' name, and then call that pair of capital letters a new mechanic that makes the pokémon give the number of prizes you defined for the Moltres.
Experienced isn't much complicated, really, but newbies may have problems getting it. If this specific post from the guide isn't helping much, try reading the original thread on it and then reading that post on the guide again. For your convenience, the few pokémons that may gain a experienced version already have a ID, so reference that when creating the experienced articuno and moltres.
Since this is a small set, let's try to focus on creativity and quality! My CaCing skills are very rusty (not that they were any good to begin with), and as my first actual set in a long time, i expect to see some good ideas being posted so the newbies and me get to (re)learn a few things about CaCing.
Finally, the set list itself!
