Also a big thank you to the guys on Discord for suggestions, couldn't have finished this without you all.
Thoughts:
The idea was to make a Pichu card to celebrate his (or her) return to Smash Bros Ultimate after 17 years. I've always prefer Pichu over Pikachu or Raichu, so since both of them have a GX card, I thought it'd be fitting to complete the trio with this.
I also wanted to try something new. In this case, I wanted to actually use a 3D rendering software to create that signiture 5ban Graphics style render on real GX cards. This is my first time attempting anything like that, so it's not perfect, but I tried my best.
Since Pichu is not a powerhouse, I've made him more of a supporting card. Being able to attach an energy from the deck is quite strong, but is balanced (at least I hope so) by limiting to only lightning energies. Mini-Bolt is just that, a mini-bolt that Pichu fires out. It's not particularly powerful, but it's cheap for some extra firepower or to finish off weakened Pokemon. Overload! is a standard GX attack that does pure damage and nothing else, but I added in the extra energy rule to better reflect the Pichu in the Smash series. Pichu hurts himself when using his moves in Smash, based on that, if Pichu has more energies attached to it, he'll 'overload' and deal damage to himself, as well as shocking everything around him. Standard fighting weakness and metal resistance, 1 retreat cost as you're not going to want Pichu to stay active for long periods of time.

What software did you use?
I wanted to bring back proper Babies. They've been gone for far too long. It is a criminal injustice that friends like Mime Jr. simply don't exist these days. This Cleffa is of course a homage to the classic, and continues on the past trend of slightly varying it with each iteration to either nerf it or make it more interesting. I also wanted an excuse to make another new element for the card blank, as I've done for each contest in the past so far (if you include re-making the Arceus rule from scratch).
Wow! I am loving this Cleffa card! It has officially won me over. Once the contest is over, would you be able to do the other fifteen babies to go alongside Cleffa?
Just over 3 days remaining to submit an entry!
Is it possible to drop Image and join text? I'll take any penalties necessary.
There wouldn’t be any penalties for switching categories, unless you’ve already posted a submission for one of those portions.
Would it be okay if I entered a card inspired by one of my past fakes? I'm working on a new template and I'm thinking about remaking my old Mew +PLUS as a regular Mew with the +PLUS Attack changed into an Ability, and a different attack.
Provided it's not exactly the same, yes. It's worth noting that you may lose some points for Creativity here anyway, as the card wasn't wholly created for the contest.

I felt like making a card, so I made a card for once! The choice of Duskull was simply because I saw this fantastic 3D render by DillanMurillo on DeviantArt. I then manipulated one of the Guardians Rising official wallpapers, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. The flavour was inspired by an anime episode that I saw when was a young and dumb, which for whatever reason made a massive deal out of a Duskull's (or was it a Dusclops') eye? Vanish Trick is an attack that supports the Lose Eye Ability, by bringing any Duskull that have been Benched undesirably for whatever reason back to your hand, so that Lost Eye can be used. My eye says that placements are wonky but overlayed scans suggest otherwise, and SM-era placements are weird at best, so I have no clue if they're right or not. Whelp.
