Plasma Freeze done! Doing other cards occasionally and on request once I'm done with this set.
My goal is to give all recent and upcoming cards in the modified format a makeover that would make them more useful, or at least more fun to play with or against.
I stick to the current card model.
1) Every Pokémon can have up to two attacks or Abilities.
2) Weakness is always 2x
3) Resistance is always -20
The only difference is that I make some attacks not cost any energy to use, marked as ( )
Any feedback is appreciated. If you have Modified-legal cards in mind you want me to remake into something playable, feel free to request them here.

Weakness: :fighting: x2
Resistance:sychic: -20

Problem: A well designed card, although maybe tier 2.5 at best. Really high damage output that the low HP of the Weavile line and Exeggcute balance. Playing this deck might be straightforward, but the deck building process won't be.
No remake needed.

Weakness: :fighting: x2
Resistance:sychic: -20
Retreat Cost: :colorless:
Problem: At least it has a unique attack, and it OHKO's Rayquaza with a Dark claw and three Power Connect. In other words, Absol is better for all purposes including getting rid of Latias-EX (for which this probably was made). More HP is needed as well.

PLF #096 Staravia
The official card
:colorless: Stage 1 Pokémon 80 HP
:colorless::colorless: Take Down 30
This Pokémon does 10 damage to itself.
Weakness: :lightning: x2
Resistance: :fighting: -20
Retreat Cost: :colorless:
Problem: Gets zapped so easy, and it doesn't even do anything helpful/harmful.
The remade version
:colorless: Stage 1 Pokémon 110 HP
Ability: Flight Formation

Your opponent shuffles the Defending Pokémon and all cards attached to it into his or her deck.
Weakness: :lightning: x2
Resistance: :fighting: -20
Retreat Cost: :colorless:
Problem: In some other format strong breeze could be a threat even if it doesn't give you prizes. But with Thundurus-EX around, this actually needs a remake.

:colorless: Windfall
Shuffle your hand into your deck. Then draw 6 cards.
:colorless::colorless::colorless::colorless: Jet Blast 60+
Does 30 more damage for each Plasma Energy attached to this Pokémon.
Weakness: :lightning: x2
Resistance: :fighting: -20
Retreat Cost: :colorless::colorless:
When a Pokémon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Problem: It is weak, but it can donk hard, is splashable and has hand refresh so I guess it's okay.
No remake needed.
My goal is to give all recent and upcoming cards in the modified format a makeover that would make them more useful, or at least more fun to play with or against.
I stick to the current card model.
1) Every Pokémon can have up to two attacks or Abilities.
2) Weakness is always 2x
3) Resistance is always -20
The only difference is that I make some attacks not cost any energy to use, marked as ( )
Any feedback is appreciated. If you have Modified-legal cards in mind you want me to remake into something playable, feel free to request them here.

Weakness: :fighting: x2
Resistance:
Retreat Cost: :colorless:
Problem: Pretty fun. Almost counters Mewtwo and maybe some dragon. It's also a starter if it faces off against a starter. It can't be made much stronger because in worst case it would be played as a cheap counter to everything. Just some small adjustments.

Weakness: :lightning: x2
Resistance: :fighting: -20
Retreat Cost: :colorless:
Problem: In some other format strong breeze could be a threat even if it doesn't give you prizes. But with Thundurus-EX around, this actually needs a remake.

Weakness: :lightning: x2

Problem: It is weak, but it can donk hard, is splashable and has hand refresh so I guess it's okay.
No remake needed.
