RE: Future EXs ideas
I'm new here, so I haven't had enough time to read every ex card invented. I hope I'm not repeating attacks or powers, I tried to make my cards original. I also don't know how to use Photoshop...yet!
These are the ex I invented and posted in another topic. I'll place them here too, seems like the other one is not specific for posting cards... This one is better.
Anyway, if this is not permited, please, somebody delete one of the posts.
Tentacruel ex
110 HP
[Water] (ex)
Poké-body: Colonial protection.
As long as Tentacruel ex has any special energy cards attached to it, ignore both [L] and [P] weakness to all your pokémon.
[C]
Jellyfish pod
Search your deck for as many pokémon with Tentacool or Tentacruel in their names as you want and put them in your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.
[C][C]
Random tentacles 40+
Flip 2 coins. If both are heads, this attack does 100 damage instead of 40. If both are tails, the defending pokémon is now paralyzed and poisoned. Place 2 damage counters between turns instead of 1.
[W][W][C]
Jellyfish invasion 40 +
Show your hand to your opponent. This attack does 40 damage plus 10 damage times the number of pokémon with Tentacool or Tentacruel in their names you have is in your hand. Then, shuffle those pokémon back into your deck.
Weakness: [L][P]
Resistance: -
Retreat cost: -
Hypno ex
110 HP
[Psychic] (ex)
Poké-body: Pendulum distortion
Whenever a player uses a trainer card, poke-power, poke-body, attack, special energy card or any other effect that requires him or her to flip a coin (like special conditions), consider the result of the flip as tails automatically (all the flips, if there are more than one).
[P] Dream eater 70
If the defending pokémon is not asleep, this attack does nothing.
[P][C][C] Mind shock 60
Don’t apply resistance.
Weakness: [P]
Resistance: -
Retreat cost: 1
Xatu ex
100 HP
[Colorless] (ex)
Poké-power: Visionary gaze
If Xatu ex is your active pokémon, flip a coin. If heads, look at your opponent’s hand. Choose up to any three cards you find there and shuffle them into your opponent’s deck. Then, your opponent may draw 2 cards. If tails, the defending pokémon is now asleep (choose 1 if there are 2). You can’t use more than one Visionary gaze poke-power each turn. You can't use this power if Xatu ex is affected by a special condition
[P] Wish
Discard an energy card attached to Xatu ex or this attack does nothing. In the end of your next turn, remove damage counters from your active pokémon (choose 1 if there are 2) equal to half its maximum HP. (rounded down to the nearest 10) (after applying any effects affecting the HP) (benching Xatu ex does not end this effect).
[C][C][C] Psychic wing 60
If Xatu ex has any [P] energy attached to it, Xatu ex’s type is also [P] until the end of this turn (before applying weakness and resistance).
Weakness: [L]
Resistance: [F]
Retreat cost: -
Hypno ex's power is the one i've been praying for ages! I hate to lose a game because my opponent is lucky in his 3 lifeherbs, 4 reversals and I get asleep 3 times in a row. I'm very unlucky when playing, nothing I can do about it. So, with Hypno ex, my opponent will be so unlucky as I am
!
The random effect of the coin will be predictable now, and sleep will be a devastating special condition, that will need a trainer card for recovery (except life herb
, I hate that card). Works both ways, obviously. If i get asleep, I wouldn't be able to wake up. Fair isn't it?
Well, tentacruel ex have pokebody and 3 attacks, quite uncommon but tyranitar ex have 4 attacks, so, maybe it is possible for tentacruel to have a poke-body text in the place of one attack... Hypno ex doesn't have a attack that puts to sleep, and Xatu ex would be vulnerable to Battle frontier in purpose because I find its power a little broken. I could use them in one deck combining their powers (can you see the combos I planned?
) and also use non ex versions (I yet have to invent delta species versions of them).
I tried to balance things a little specially in HP. Not my intention to make overpower unbalanced pokémon ex, my intention is to make a good Hypno, Xatu or Tentacruel
(since there are so few of them...
)
I'll post Aipom ex and Shuckle ex later.
