So this is a fan set, from after sun and moon base, so no cards like Lunala/Solgaleo gx and none of the main characters, because I'm guessing those will be in sun/moon base. Ill start with some ultra rares, ex's and trainers, more cards included later, and this will be a 135 card set. Also, apologies for any misformatted cards, this is my first fan set. And I am also adding Alolan cards, which will be similar to how plasma cards used to be for Pokemon.

Muscle band - Trainer - Item
You can play as many Item cards during your turn as you like. (Before you attack)

Uncommon





Feel free to leave any suggestions for new cards and changes for balance or me putting in a typo like the derp that I am. Also, expect Alolan Pokemon to be similar to plasma Pokemon, and all supporters and ex's will have a full art version. I will try to update this thread with at least 2 cards a day, but no promises.

Hey, welcome to the most creative part of the 'beach! :D

Some interesting cards you've got here; I especially like that you're speculating on which Pokémon will be in S/M base and basing your setlist around that. The Alolan mechanic is really cool as well. I loved the Plasma mechanic, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. ;)

That said, a few things I'd like to point out:
  • A lot of things in card text are capitalized: Not only the start of a sentence, but also all words in an attack name ("Moongeist Beam"), "Active Pokémon", "Weakness" and "Resistance", all card types ("Basic Pokémon", "Supporter", "Stadium", "Pokémon Tool", "Energy"; though note that all Trainer cards are followed by the word "card", which is uncapitalized: "Supporter card", "Stadium card"), and so on.
  • Many text-based fakers also capitalize Energy symbols: "[W]", "[P]", etc.
  • Reminder text is always italicized: "(both yours and your opponent's)", "(before applying Weakness and Resistance)", etc.
Hope that all makes sense. Looking forward to your future cards! :)
 
Thx for the help on formatting. I'll probably fix that tomorrow, right now I'm on mobile and as you can imagine, it would be hard to fix anything on a phone:p. Glad you like the set, I'll make sure not to make the Alolan mechanic boring!
 
There will be multiple evolved Pokemon in this set(duh) but for the pre-evolution's, I'll do all of those cards last, because they'll just be boring and normal cards. Also, expect a lot of cards based off of older cards.

Donphan-[F]-hp 100

You may like to consider putting an "enter" space between the Basic/Stage line and the first attack, and the second attack and the Weakness/Resistance/Retreat line, for improved readability. =)

As for a few wording things; "benched" should be capitalised as "Benched", "Do" should be "This attack does" and their should be a "both" before "yours and your opponents". BREAK Coliseum is also worded a little funny - it sounds like you're saying that BREAK Pokemon evolve. :p Instead, you should word it something like the following [Ref: Forest of Giant Plants]:

"Each player’s Pokémon can evolve into BREAK Pokémon during his or her first turn or the turn he or she plays those Pokémon."​

You know, you said that pre-evolutions are fairly boring. I challenge that! I think your should try making your next pre-evolution interesting and creative, rather than boring. If you're stuck, take a look at the Pokemon's PokeDex entries for inspiration. ^.^
 
Oh goodness, Tail Revenge. Haven't we had enough of that in 2010? :p

Looks good, though; I can imagine it would be balanced enough in this metagame (though Battle Compressor might be a bit of a concern in Expanded). The lack of Pokémon Rescue in this format (Buddy-Buddy Rescue and Super Rod being the best options, iirc) is probably enough balance to make a 120-for-free attack okay.

For some other wording stuff, beyond what bb pointed out, I'll throw in one for Donphan's Ability:

"Any damage done to this Pokémon by attacks is reduced by 20." [References: Hard Charm; Eviolite]

As far as the prevos go, I'd suggest not saving them for the end, because by that point it's very easy to get bored with the set already (speaking from experience); there's no point making yourself even more bored with effectless prevos. In addition to using their Pokédex entries for inspiration, you may also like to give them some form of synergy with their final evolutions.

The example that comes to mind is the synergy between Trubbish PLS and Garbodor DRX. Trubbish can search the deck for a Pokémon Tool card, which helps activate its evolution's Ability. It's not a competitively viable combo by any means, but there's some interesting synergy there.
 
Okay then, I see prevos aren't wanted at just the end. Hiw about I do them on days I'm busy? That way, if I have lots of work due the next day, I'll just put in some prevos so I don't need to spend too much time thinking of ideas. I am a busy person after all:p

It's totally fine to do them whenever you want; I'm just trying to make sure you don't get too bored with your own set. :p I'm close to the end of my second set now and I can tell you it's really hard to maintain interest the entire way through. :(
 
One thing I want to see in this set would be some more underrepresented stuff in the TCG, like stage 2's and some Pokemon that never get cards. Stage 2's, I'll accomplish with two cards. For the underrepresented, here are a few of them.

Rare Candy - Trainer - Item
You can play as many Item cards during your turn as you like. (Before you attack)
Choose 1 of your Basic Pokemon in play. If you have a Stage 1 or Stage 2 card that evolves from that Pokemon in your hand, put that card on the Basic Pokemon. (This counts as evolving that Pokemon.)
Uncommon
If you didn't notice, this allows you to get a turn one evolution, as long as you have the evolved Pokemon in your hand, similar to to rare candy before BW ruined it.

Evolution Ball - Trainer - Item
You can play as many Item cards during your turn as you like. (Before you attack)
Return one caard from your hand to your deck. Then, search your deck for an evolution card, reveal it to your opponent, and put it in your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards.

[C][C][C][C][C]-Judgement GX
Discard 5 energy cards attached to this Pokemon. Then, put 10 damage counters on all of your opponent's Pokemon.(You can't use more than one GX attack per game.)
Weakness- [F] Resistance- none Retreat-[C][C]
Ultra Rare

Alolan-Ratticate-[D]-hp 110

That's it for now! Also, I got a ton of ideas, but I don't know what to name certain cards or what Pokemon to use, so feel free to suggest items from the games you want to see in the TCG or Pokemon you think need cards, or even some locations you think could make good stadiums!

If you need Pokemon, can I request a Honchkrow? :3

Deoxys Defense might be a bit OP. Psycho Shift could get setup really early with the right support, and then being able to move damage counters without any drawback is essentially a stronger Damage Change. Maybe make it require a coin flip?

Yeah, you're right. I meant it to be a heavier damage change but with a slightly worse non-ex card, but I messed up the wording bad. My derp:p

Just a general question, what do you guys think about reprints? Yes or no? Should I do more or only a few?

Reprints aren't something I'd personally do a lot of as a text-based faker. For image-based it might be different, since you could use new blanks and art, but for text-based the only thing you could really do is update the wording and maybe alter the effect a little bit (a la Potion from healing 20 damage to healing 30) to keep up with power creep.

Alolan Energy is cool. It'd be interesting to see an archetype based around that. ;)

Got it, I'll keep reprints to only the important cards, cards that are out of format already, and those I'm changing. And I'll probably change a few cards, so I'll put a little note with cards that are changed inside their spoiler, so you know which ones to look at.

I think you may need to fix up the wording on M Medicham-EX, since the number next to the attack name is saying "do 300 damage" and the effect is saying "do 300 [more] damage" if heads. Instead, better wording could be:

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing and put 10 damage counters on this Pokemon.
​
Also, your power levels are creeping up a bit. M Medicham-EX would probably be top tier, as a 50% chance to KO basically any Pokemon is pretty good. I'd suggesting dropping the damage output to 200 or 190. Focus Punch is also pretty insane considering many ways of removing damage counters exist, although it's definitely a neat idea. I would suggest dropping the damage output to 150 or 160.

I quite like how in both Lunala and Lunala BREAK, there is some neat defensive ideas playing around with the effects, so that's cool to see.
