I feel like there would be that one guy who'd run JUST this Unown in a deck. Item lock? How about PRIZE LOCK!
Contest June's Create A Card: Fully Evolved Basics! (Official Results!)

Where did you get the blank and font guide?
Except...Quad Unown would have absolutely no firepower, and you would quickly run out of Pokémon in play and lose, while your opponent didn't take a single Prize card.
It looks like an Aschefield101 blank, possibly this one. The package includes a Photoshop guide, too.
Funnily enough, the artwork is by our very own @CMP and hasn't been edited in any way. That Illustrator credit might need fixing up.
I'll have my own entry up soon, I promise!
Aaaaaaaaaand here's my entry; Tropius!
Not gonna lie, I was planning on a Lapras originally but then Jabberwock requested some Tropius renders and the 3D model for Tropius was just so much more enjoyable to use than a 3D model for Lapras. Both had to be ripped and textured and such since the models aren't around yet, but I just couldn't make anything nice with Lapras compared to the Tropius scene.
Oh, and I've been sitting on that Zeta Aero Ancient Trait for a while too. The idea with Aero to make it harder for your opponent to stop you from setting up, since Tropius is designed as a supporting Pokemon rather than a main Pokemon. It would've been too overpowered on an attacking Pokemon, so hopefully the rest of the card balances it out. While your Benched Pokemon would still be vulnerable to damage from Bench-hitting attacks, at the very least this Ancient Trait can help deter those attacks from being used. And since this trait is geared towards Flying Pokemon and they're usually Colourless in the TCG, the Ancient Trait banner is 'colourless' too!
The Green Gale attack is just a form of damage-dealing on this supporting card. I don't like cards that do no damage, and it also keeps up a Grass/Flying theme by harming anything that isn't Grass or Colourless - including your own Pokemon.
Phototropism is based on a scientific thing where plants grow towards a light source for their photosynthesis. It's a plant thing, for the plant Pokemon. In this instance, a new Active Pokemon gets closer to the battle and gains energy from it. The Pokedex entry is also inspired by phototropism, too.

Mods, could I go back and put an explanation in the same post where I put my entry, or should I make a new post for it?
Make a new post. Editing your original entry will result in me counting it as an edit to the entry and thus resulting in a -2 point penalisation.
Alright!
I like Dedenne. It's one of my favourite types [Fairy] and almost as cute as one of my Favourite Pokémon, Pichu! [Please Sakurai?] I'm not sure if the game designers have used anything like the ability before, but it builds off of the fact that Electric-type Pokémon often have Pokédex entries stating that "if groups of ___ group together, ___ will happen" or "While weak on it's own, a group of ___ can cause ___", as a refrence to Lightning storms, and to several scenes in the anime where Electric type Pokémon can help other electric type Pokémon using their own Electricity. The attack is really simple. [Dedenne PHF has almost the same attack, except this card's does damage.] I feel like with the ability, this card can hit for solid amounts of damage, but nothing too crazy.
Absol - Dark - HP110
Basic
Ability: Super Luck
Once during your turn (before you attack), if you have more prize cards left than your opponent’s, draw 2 cards.
[D][C] Impending Doom: 40+ damage. If any of your Pokémon were Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack during his or her last turn, this attack does 70 more damage.
[D][D][C] Future Sight: 30x damage. Look at the top 5 cards of your deck. You may reveal any number of trainer cards you find there. This attack does 30 times the number of trainer cards you revealed. Discard those trainer cards. Shuffle the other cards back into your deck.
Weakness: Fighting (x2)
Resistance: Psychic (-20)
Retreat: 1
Absol appears when it senses an impending natural disaster. As a result, people commonly mistake Absol as the cause of the disasters it senses.

Hi. Sorry for the late entry. I was travelling so I didn't get time to make my card look exactly as I wanted (it was kind of rushed because of time). Even so I still had fun making it and I wish all the best to anybody else who is in this competition. Good luck all!

Alright, here comes my image based entry for this month - Sudowoodo EX
Who is the illustrator?
I hope it's not to late! 
It still says Johi 44.
I see lots of people are posting explanations of their cards. Does doing/not doing this affect your score overall?
I think it just gives people a better idea of what you were trying to do with your card, but as far as I know doing it doesn't affect your score in any way.
