Smeargle LV.X:
Top stats: 5
Picture: 10
Powers/Bodies/Items/Attacks/etc.: 25
Random Doodle is worthless, as your opponent could just say 1, and you have a half chance of doing 10 damage, and if that isn't bad enough, you could do it to yourself instead. Just taking a Prize card... isn't very creative.
Flavor Text: 0
Bottom stats: 5
Grammar: -1
You never mentioned that you have to show the drawn card to your opponent, as you would have to do to verify that it is an Energy card if you wish to leave it in your hand.
TOTAL: 44/50 88%
Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:
Darkrai LV.X:
Top stats: 4
HP should be 110, max.
Picture: 10
Powers/Bodies/Items/Attacks/etc.: 30
Flavor Text: 0
Bottom stats: 5
Grammar: -4
"Pokémon", not "Pokemon", capitalize Attacking, capitalize Energy, and should read Energy card not Energy.
TOTAL: 45/50 90%

Koffing:

Should be "crater-like", not "crater like"
TOTAL: 54/55
Weezing LV.X:
Top stats: 5
Picture: 10
Powers/Bodies/Items/Attacks/etc.: 28
Assurance is too good, KO'ing almost anything with three Energy.
Flavor Text: 0
Bottom Stats: 5
Grammar: -3
Should use é, Assurance has a different effect in the TCG, should read "during your opponent's last turn" instead of "on..."

Char. Rox said the lower forms could be throwaways...

They don't need it; Charmander Rox's first grade sheet commented that Flavor Text was "Not applied to Pokémon LV.X." It's just part of the grade sheet, so they put it on there anyway. If you notice, there are no points taken off of the total for the 0 in Flavor Text.

I fully respect the grading that was given for my card, but I would like to share my vision on some of parts of the card.
You say that random doodle is worthless, because if you even everything out it would do an average of 0 damage... But in my opinion it is a strategical attack that adds an exciting angle to the card. Your opponent has the rather tempting chance to OHKO Smeargle LV.X and it requires some thought what number to call. Maybe Smeargle has less HP than the Defending Pokemon so your opponent will call a lower number, or maybe smeargle has 1 energy attached (1 of which is [L]) and the defending pokemon is a Palkia G.The opponent will be in quite a dilemma to take this possible chance to knock out Smeargle LV.X and risk the possible damage, or to face the likely unslaught that Smeargle will wreck on his next turn. Of course when to use this attack is essential to its succes and that is, in my opinion, its beauty....and if nothing else, it atleast is an attack that smeargle can risk to use when he is stripped from energy....
Could you say why you think" just taking a Prize card" isn`t creative, because I don`t know another card with such an attack...
I agree 100% with the rest (I should have thought of that showing to your opponent line..:redface
I do not mean this as criticism on the grading and I`m fine with the fact that the grading won`t change... I just wanted to explain my choices....
Thanks for reading...

Since I'm a bit bored and Super Wooper Trooper is making comments about his card, I'll ask him...If Smeargle happens to be a Fighting type at the time (through the Power of his Lv 36 form) does he take weakness for his own Random Doodle attack? (maybe he's attacking Darthpika's Raichu Lv X :biggrin
If so, that is another possible reason why the opponent (DarthPika in the example) might choose a higher number...(or at least the lower number would have greater effect.)

Well, I haven`t added "don`t apply weakness and resistance for attacks done to Smeargle LV.X" so I guess it does...but maybe I should have added that.... (lol my grading should have been lower..:tongue::lol
The card is just so versatile....:lol:

For Random Doodle, you wouldn't use it because it gives a strategical advantage to YOUR OPPONENT, not to you. Your opponent gets to weight the risks, while you have to take it. If you are attacking a Pokémon with little HP left, your opponent could say "9", so even though your opponent is almost dead and you have no damage, both of you could die from one of YOUR attacks. It's worse than Magikarps attack (whatever it was called) 10: Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.
As far as the prize card, I've seen it on a lot of CaC cards, but not real cards, FOR A REASON.
Oh, and could you please use ' instead of ` for your apostraphes? It's supposed to be '. It's really hard to read when it has `instead. It takes up more space.

Okay, you've made your point....I do not agree with it on the subject of random doodle but you're the judge and I except whatever you judge and I'm going to stop talking about it....
Sorry if Masterpiece wasn't creative, I did not know of any of those cards....
I'll try using ' more often but I really got used to ` so sorry if that pops up once in a while....

Budew Lv 6 Hp 40 [G]
Basic Pokémon
Poké-Power: Baby Pokémon
Once during your turn (before you attack), you may put Roselia from your hand onto Budew (this counts as evolving Budew) and remove all damage counters from Budew.
[G][G] Repeat Absorb
Move a number of damage counters from Budew to the Defending Pokémon up to the number of [G] Energy cards attached to Budew.
Weakness: [R] +10
Resistance:
Retreat: [C]
Picture: Budew is bouncing along happily through a grassland on a sunny day. There is little else to note about the picture.
Tect: Virtually all of Budew's attacks inflict status or steal HP. If not prepared for, it can be a difficult Pokémon to KO, especially for starting trainers with water Pokémon.
Roselia Lv 26 Hp 70 [G]
Basic Pokémon
Poké-Body: Grass Roots
If Budew is anywhere under Roselia, Roselia may use any of Budew's attacks, Poké-Powers, or Poké-Bodies as its own. Each of Budew's attacks cost [G] more to use.
[G][C] Anchor 30
Until the end of your next turn, the retreat cost of the Defending Pokémon is [C][C] more.
Weakness: [R] +20
Resistance:
Retreat: [C]
Picture: Roselia is staring at a picture of a Budew. It can be assumed that it is the Budew in the picture.
Tect: Roselia's assortment of grass-type attacks can make escaping it a difficult task. Being a Pokémon with considerable special attack, going offensive quickly is sound advice rather than failing a retreat.
Roserade Lv X Hp 110 [G]
Place onto Roserade
Poké-Body: Tied Knot
If either player wishes to retreat their Active Pokémon (except [G] Pokémon), the Energy discarded must be basic Energy of the same type as the Pokémon.
[G][C][C] Tie Up 50
Move one Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon to one of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. Then, select one Energy card attached to one of your opponent's Benched Pokémon, and move it to the Defending Pokémon.
Weakness: [R] x2
Resistance: None
Retreat: [C]
Picture: Roserade is planting its arms into the ground and making many vines pop up on both sides of it. The vines extend outside the card image.

Hi, you just made a few errors with your addition, and please see my other questions.
That should be 124/160 = 77.5%

I'll go tell Charmander Rox that he has been neglecting his own context... and that he made stupid mistakes... and that he better finish grading the cards that he said he would. (He might ignore me again like he did last time)

It seems as if you aren't doing much this round. One attack, one attack, one power. Gardy Lv.X can only do 20 damage. The sole power really doesn't add much. Additionally, one damage counter is far too trivial for a coin flip, and it is slightly broken as you can recycle Special Energy.
