RE: Future EXs ideas

if non-ex cards are allowed, here goes:
Charizard {R} 120 HP
{RRC} Flamethrower 90
Discard a {R} energy attached to Charizard
{RRRRR} Fire Blast 120
Weakness: {W}
Resistance: N/A
Retreat Cost: {CCC}
Blastoise {W} 100 HP
{WWW} Hydro Pump 70+
This attack does 70 damage plus 20 damge for each {W} energy attached to Blastoise. You can't add more than 60 damage this way.
{WWWW} Hyper Whirlpool 70
Discard all Energy Cards attached to the Defending Pokemon.
Weakness: {L}
Resistance: N/A
Retreat Cost: {CC}
Venusaur {G} 110 HP
{GGC} Poison Pollen 30
The Defending Pokemon is now Poisoned, Burned, and Asleep.
{GGGCC} Solarbeam 100
Weakness: {R}{P}
Resistance: {W}
Retreat Cost: {CC}
Not talking about ex pokemon here, so, the level of attacks should be weakened
Charizard’s flamethrower for that cost should cause 70 damage, just like Houndoom UF does. And Fireblast should have the player discard energy, 2 energy at least. 120 damage attacks can’t be used every turn without a disadvantage.
Blastoise’s Hydro Pump is broken.Totally. Blastoise is not an ex.. 3 energy 70 damage is already an ex level attack. But if you used 3W energy to pay the cost, the damage is 130! And you need to use 3W.
No, this attack should state:
[C][C][C] Hydro pump 40 +
Does 20 damage for each [W] energy card attached to Blastoise but not used to pay for this attack’s energy cost. You can’t add more than 60 damage this way.
So, to cause 100 damage, you would need at least [W][W][W][C][C][C], (6 energy) .
To cause 80, [W][W][C][C][C], (5 energy) and to cause 60, [W][C][C][C] (4 energy). Boost energy could be applied. Compare to Base Set Blastoise or to EM kyogre and see, This Blastoise is still stronger.
Blastoise’s Hyper Whirlpool…. Lol, better even than the Blastoise ex’s
, no coins involved! There should be coin flipping here and the cost should be [W][W][W][C][C], 70 damage. This attack can’t be better than the ex’s.
Or, you may do something specific and funnier like this:
[W][W][W][C] Extra whirlpool. 70
If the defending pokémon is a pokémon ex, discard all energy attached to it
Then it could be possible, since it is specific for ex pokémon. Even though, I think that discarding all energy is still broken…
Venusaur’s poison pollen is better than the ex’s too. For this cost, poison pollen should’nt cause any damage, only the effect. Or, cause 20 damage plus coin flipping: if tails, no effect, only 20 damage. Again, Solarbeam is better than the ex’s. For [G][G][G][C][C], Solarbeam should cause 80 damage. I prefer, [G][G][C][C][C] 70 damage, just like RS scepitile. (boost energy effect). Venusaur should have only one weakness since he is not an ex and does not have an owner. And no resistance to water. Only pure grass type pokémon in the GB have corresponding water resistance in the TCG (only exception: jumpluff line). Venusaur is grass /poison, not a pure plant, so, no resistance.

Arbok ex 130HP (Grass)
Poke-Body- Poison Payback
If Arbok ex is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if Arbok ex is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned.
[grass][colorless] Bite 40
[grass][grass][colorless] Special Reaction 40
If the defending Pokemon is Poisoned it is now Burnt.
Weak---------------[Resist]---------[retreat]
[fire]----------------[none]---------[colorless][colorless]
I agree with what mathace said before. Special reaction should cause more damage, I’d say 60, since arbok is an ex pokémon. Plus poison and burn, the total damage would be 90, which is interesting but involves luck.
130 Hp is ok, since normal arboks lately have more HP than the average stage one pokémon. (just like milotic, steelix and gyarados, arbok has a snake-form shape and more HP, at least in TCG)
What I didn’t catch is the weakness to fire. Why fire? Arbok is poison type only, in the GB, and poison types have no weakness to fire, but to psychic and ground. So, its weakness should be the traditional [P].

Mew * - 40 HP - P 117/117
Poké-Body: Gene Alteration
You can put any Evolution card onto Mew *.
C - Gather Power
Seach your deck for an Evolution card, show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. If Mew * is the only Pokémon your have in play, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Mew * during your opponent's next turn.
CC - Psychic Turn - 20
Switch Mew * with one of your Benched Pokémon.
WK: D / RS: None / RC: None
********
Gligar * - 70 HP - F 116/117
Poké-Body: Reactive Poison
As long as Gligar * is on your Bench and has 2 or more React Energy cards attached to it, the Defending Pokémon is Poisoned. The Special Condition Poisoned can't be removed from the Defending Pokémon.
F - Toxic Turn
The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Switch Gligar * with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.
CC - Star Cutter - 20+
Does 20 damage plus 50 more damage if Gligar * is the only Pokémon you have in play.
Caterpie and Metapod are good, really a possibility. They ressemble a lot the FRLG ones. You should call metapod’s power “extra tight”, the same name for the power Schuckle UF has (that does the same thing). Butterfree is good too. I would give her zero for retreat instead of one. Porygon 1 and 2 delta are both well balanced too.
Pokemon star usually have no powers, but that’s ok for mew and gligar.
Mew*, I believe, could have more HP, like 70. Interesting poke-power, ressembles Brock’s ninetales. You should only explain in the text to consider the evolution card placed upon mew* as an evolved pokémon, just like the “baby evolution” poke-power does.
The text of the gligar *’s pokébody is a bit confusing… Does it works only when gligar * is active? (yes, or it is broken…) So the opponent’s active will be always poisoned, no card can heal it, unless defending pokémon retreats right? If the defending pokémon retreats, the other one will be automatically poisoned? (Only if gligar * is still active, right?) It’s the same as Typhlosion’s UF Pokébody, but affecting only the opponent.
Humm… Since Gligar is *… maybe this would fit, but he has to be active to poison the opponent. If opponent switches and gligar too (warp point, for example), the pokebody won’t poison the new opponent’s active pokemon.
The attacks are ok. Once you get 2 react, no need to use toxic turn.
About the bottom stats, since you forgot to mention, maybe weakness to grass, no resistance and 1 to retreat (every basic pokémon have one for retreat cost since RS.)
