TCG Fakes Ancient Resonance (Original Expansion) - Fossil Pokémon!

Reckless Force should be worded as (Ref: Lugia-EX, Golurk AOR):

If your opponent’s Pokémon is Knocked Out by damage from an attack of this Pokémon, you may put 2 damage counters on this Pokémon. If you do, put 3 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.

The reason damage counters is used is because the effect is an ability, not an actual attack.

I was wondering about this, but must admit I went with "takes damage" because it sounded cooler. It is better with correct wording though, because it'd mean Rampardos can't abuse Hard Charm haha.

Tweaked Rampardos' damage a bit to fit with the adjustment. I'd say it's worth 120 now that Hard Charm can't be used.
 
Today's updates. This concludes the Fossil Pokemon in this set!

:O - A Junk Arm reprint! That'd be interesting. :p

Anyways, should Deoxy's Aura effect be worded more like Octillery BRT? I'm not too sure if you have your own wording for the aura effects or not. :p

Click to expand...

I thought it would give a neat little way for Fossils to recycle FRM!

I wanted to word it that way so that players would only be able to use one Deoxys per turn, rather than one effect per Deoxys like with Octillery. If there's a better way to word it, I am happy to hear.
 
Ah, okay. Victini NVI is the best reference in this case. Your effect should then be worded:

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand. You can’t use more than 1 Deep-Space Draw Radiant Aura each turn.

Just a couple of updates left. I will also be writing some backstory behind the cards in my sets, which will be included in my next set of fakes (whenever that may be).

Celebi (R.Aura) - Grass - 70HP
Basic

Radiant Aura (After you use this effect, place this card in the Spirit Dimension)
Memory Shrine: Until the end of your turn, each of your evolved Pokémon can use any attack and Ability from its previous Evolutions. (You still need the necessary energy to use each attack.)

[G] Time Skip: 20 damage. During your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon by Aura Pokémon. At the start of your next turn, (immediately after your draw) shuffle this Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your deck.

Weakness: Fire (x2)
Resistance: Water (-20)
Retreat: [C]

Delibird (R.Aura) - Water - 80HP
Basic

Radiant Aura (After you use this effect, place this card in the Spirit Dimension)

Aura-Powered Ball
Item
Put 1 Aura Pokémon from your discard pile into the Spirit Dimension. (Its Aura effect is not activated.) Then, search your deck for a Pokémon, (excluding Aura Pokémon), reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

The next one doesn't sound like it's worded right, so I would like some critique on this one specifically;

Team Flare Hideout
Stadium
Whenever any player's Active Pokémon becomes a Benched Pokémon, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon.
 
Last edited:
I'm a bit concerned of the power level of Aromatisse. It's very easily spammable for [Y] types and is extremely powerful considering you could use four in a single turn, and then scoop up the Pokemon and reuse the ability.

Meanwhile, Team Flare Base can be worded as:

"Whenever any player's Active Pokémon becomes a Benched Pokémon, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon."
 
Would it be better if it just accelerated 1 Energy? I've also been sure to avoid scoop-up items/supporters in my set, with Aura Pidgeot being the only one to have that effect.

And thanks for the wording!
 
I would recommend only going with 1, yeah. I'm wondering if you should put a damage counter or a few on the Aromatisse if you use the ability, as a bit more of a drawback.
 
Made it accelerate 1 Energy and confuse your Active Pokemon - just so you can't power stuff up and hit hard too quickly.
 
I really wanted to include the full Porygon line in this set, but I've included way too many Normal Pokemon as it is.

Buuuut I couldn't resist, so have 2 Porygons!

Porygon - Normal - 60HP
Basic

[C] Conversion: Choose a type of a Pokémon in play. As long as this Porygon is your Active Pokémon, it becomes that type instead of its original type.

[C][C] Cyberspace Charge: Search your deck for 2 in any combination of Porygon, Porygon2 or Porygon-Z (excluding Aura Pokémon) and put them onto your Bench or in the discard pile in any way you like. Then, shuffle this Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your deck.

Weakness: Fighting (x2)
Resistance:
Retreat: [C][C]



Porygon-2 - Normal - 80HP
Stage 1 - Evolves from Porygon

Ability: Trace
Once during your turn, (before your attack), you can discard a Porygon, Porygon2 or Porygon-Z from your hand, and send a Pokémon with an Ability from your discard pile to the Spirit Dimension. If you do, until the end of your opponent's next turn, this Ability is now the Ability of the Pokémon you sent to the Spirit Dimension.

[C][C] Network Beam: 30+ damage. You may reveal your hand. If there is a Porygon, Porygon2 or Porygon-Z in your hand, discard pile and on your Bench, this attack does 30 more damage.

Weakness: Fighting (x2)
Resistance:
Retreat: [C][C]

I really like the effect of "Nightmare Void," but am not sure if it's too overpowered...thoughts?

Darkrai - Dark - 100HP
Basic

[D] Sleep Paralysis: 30 damage. If the Defending Pokémon is currently Asleep, your opponent does not flip a coin for Sleep between turns, until the end of your next turn.

[D][D][C] Nightmare Void: 50 damage. Whenever a Pokémon is placed in your opponent's Discard pile during his or her next turn, that card is sent to the Spirit Dimension instead.

Weakness: Fighting (x2)
Resistance: Psychic (-20)
Retreat: [C][C]

Mr Mime - Fairy - 70HP
Basic Pokémon

Ability: Trick
Once during your turn (before your attack), you can move one Pokémon Tool attached to one of your Pokémon to another of your Pokémon.

[F][C] Double Slap: 20+ damage. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 20 more damage for each heads.

Weakness: Steel (x2)
Resistance:
Retreat: [C][C]

Bloom Energy
Special Energy

This card can only be attached to [G] Pokémon. This card provides [G] Energy only while this card is attached to a [G] Pokémon.

When you attach this card from your hand to 1 of your [G] Pokémon, you can attach another [G] Energy card from your hand to the same Pokémon.

(If this card is attached to anything other than a [G] Pokémon, discard this card.)

Nice cards today! I quite like the synergy between the two Porygon, as it is self-sustainable. With Nightmare Void, it could be significantly powerful, however you may like to specify a specific type of card that will go to said dimension. Perhaps Pokemon cards, as you're dealing with Nightmare?

Just so you know, numbers should be always written in numerical form (like 1) not word (like one). There's also a few errors in most of the Porygon's attacks, which I can nitpick if you'd like.
 
Great idea - by making it a Pokémon, Darkrai can also disrupt Aura-based setup, and it can backfire on the Darkrai player if the opponent takes out one of their Shadow Aura Pokémon.

And nitpick away! Seeing as Porygon's attacks are pretty wordy, I thought I'd made a few mistakes somewhere.
 
[C] Conversion: Choose [a type of a] Pokémon in play. As long as this Porygon is your Active Pokémon, it and all [Pokémon] it [e]volves into become that [t]ype.

[C][C] Cyberspace Charge: Search your deck for [2] cards with Porygon in their name (excluding Aura Pokémon) and put them onto your Bench or in the discard pile in any way you like. Then, shuffle this [Pokémon] and all cards attached to it into your [d]eck.

I probably wouldn't go with the "all Pokemon it evolves into" effect for simplicity in both wording and the odd scenarios, but your choice of course. Also, I don't think Porygon-2 counts as having "Porygon in their name", but I'm not 100% on that one.

Ability: Trace
Once during your turn, (before your attack)[,] you [may] discard [a] card with Porygon in its name from your hand and send [a] Pokémon with an Ability from your discard pile to the Spirit Dimension. If you do, until the end of your opponent's next turn, this Ability [is now] the Ability of the Pokémon you sent to the Spirit Dimension.

[C][C][C] Network Beam: 30+ damage. You [may] reveal your hand. If there is a card with Porygon in its name in your hand, [d]iscard pile and on your Bench, this attack does 30 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Network Beam also feels a bit too powerful as it is very easy to Paralyze with the attack.
 
Removed the Paralysis effect from Network Beam and just made it do damage for now, but dropped its cost to a DCE. I figure with Trace, Porygon2 is already a decent card, so I don't need to go TOO overboard.

I agree with your point about "Porygon in its name," especially because I just realised that Porygon-2 is spelled Porygon2, all one word. Should I just go with "Porygon, Porygon2 and Porygon-Z" instead?
