Alright, the first Delta Pokémon and it's a dual-type! Let's see how this goes:
Creativity/Originality: 20/20pts
This card is very creative, the effects are good and original, and you even brought back the Holon Energy! Also nice touch on the name. Let's hope it literally doesn't burn down the forest. xD Great work, Lugia!
Wording: 14/15pts
I'm just docking a single point for 2 minor errors in typing: You missed an apostrophe in "Pokémon's" in the Ability and also a comma in the "from this attack, take 2 prizes" in the second attack.
Believability/Playability: 14/15pts
I want to start this by pointing something out: In the second attack, you state that you take 2 prizes, not "an extra prize". That's actually very interesting because it lets you take a knockout on a regular Pokémon for 2 prizes, but not being insanely OP to take 3 for an EX. That's actually neat, intentional or not, because it actually gives this card a lot of balance. And if it wasn't enough, the attack cost combined with the drawback are INSANE! xD You can take 3-5 turns charging up the attack, then make one of the most suicidal moves in the TCG and then get KO'd by a plethora of things afterwards. And even though you attach something like a Protection Cube or that stuff, it's nearly impossible to stream this things! xD The ONLY way I can see this "working", is to play both Eelektrik and Heatran Lv.X: Attack, Rush In with Keldeo to charge the Lightnings, manually attach a Fire and retreat, but it's still an almost impossible set-up that could work like 1 out of 250 games. All that said, its very Under-powered. D: But apart from that, the rest of the attacks are good, the Ability can't be abused that much... but yeah, it's an under-powered card. But the real reason I'm docking a point is because Delta Species Pokémon, when Dual-typed, generally have Metal as it's secondary Type, so, that's the only thing that actually wrong.
Wow, I can't believe I actually got to see an Under-powered card... xD But putting this aside, the card is actually very nice, you did an amazingly good job this month, Lugia, keep it up!
Total Score: 48/50pts
I almost feel that making Pokémon like Greninja, Kecleon and the such a Delta Species should not be allowed because they can be of those types at will. xD Alright, let's get going:
Creativity/Originality: 20/20pts
The Ability is something one of a kind, and the Attack is actually something very creative. Way to go!
Wording: 14/15pts
First of all, I want, with all of my guts, to reword the Abiliity... But I just don't know how.
So you got away with that. But what you DON'T get away with are the un-accented é's in Pokémon. Just one point from perfect wording. But the rest is great!
Believability/Playability: 15/15pts
I really can't see this card being OP. I mean, sure, it attacks and then Lysandres, but you can't stall someone Active with it because it forces you to Switch it, and the attack output looks corresponding to a Stage 2 for that amount of Energy. Nice, Squirtle!
This was a fantastic entry, as usual. But just one tiny error kept you from a 3 month perfect score streak. u.u But it's still top notch! Nice job this month!

Delta Dragon Charizard, gotta say I was expecting this. xD But y u no Delta Regis?! D: Haha, let's hit it:
Creativity/Originality: 18/20pts
This card is very creative, I gotta say, but it lacks that POW that says "Wow, this is awesome!". Still, Flames of Justice is an awesome name!
Wording: 12/15pts
I noticed 3 errors about this card: First, you forgot to capitalize Burned in the first attack. Second, the second attack's second part should say "If this Pokémon's remaining HP is 20 or less, don't discard the Energy" (Reference: Archeops PLB). And finally, the "Evolves from" clause shouldn't include the δ (Most recent reference: Ampharos δ, which evolves from Flaaffy δ, that evolves from Mareep δ). Nothing TOO big, good work on everything else!
Believability/Playability: 14/15pts
This cards is very balanced to me, except for it's final attack. Even though it requires a Dark to attack, it's still a little too much for 3 Energy. Consider that Charizard LTR needs 1 Fire and 4 Colorless to hit for 150, and discarding 1. Maybe adding an Energy to the attack cost or nerfing the damage to somewhere near 130 might work to it being a bit more balanced.
I actually liked this card a lot, Reggie, it just had some minor issues. Take care of those and I'll see you next month!

I actually found only one error: the "Evolves from" clause shouldn't include the δ (Most recent reference: Ampharos δ, which evolves from Flaaffy δ, that evolves from Mareep δ). But you still nailed the rest!
Believability/Playability: 15/15pts
This card is actually really balanced. The only way I can see this getting SOME use is in an Agility-like deck with Victini, but it's a really bad call... xD Nicely done!

Wording: 13/15pts
I spotted 2 errors here: First, the Ability should say "Any damage done to this Pokémon by attacks is reduced by 10 for each different type of basic Energy attached to this Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance).", in inverse order of what you depicted (Most recent Reference: Cubone Triumphant). And second, the attack should go "If this Pokémon has any basic Energy attached to it that is the same type as the Defending Pokémon, this attack..." (Reference: Ninetales LTR. Everything else seems fine!
Believability/Playability: 15/15pts
Well, this card just can't be broken. I mean, it's a 110 HP Stage 1 that needs 3 Energy to attack, but the secondary effect is SO situational... And also playing a lot of basic Energy has proven to be bad in most decks. So kudos on a nice, balanced card!
I really liked this card a lot, XDog, I see you're a worthy contender in this Contest. Now go for the gold next month!

Haha, a Fairy Tyrantrum... xD Let's see how this goes:
Creativity/Originality: 20/20pts
This is an amazingly nice card in terms of creativity. Nice attack effects overall and the names are actually funny! xD Nice job!
Wording: 13/15pts
I found 2 errors about your card: First of all, in the first attack you are basically saying "Delta Delta Species Pokémon". You should write "Delta Species Pokémon", "δ Pokémon". or even the old way, "Pokémon that has δ in its name". Either would have worked. Considering that as writing M-Mega-Gengar, as example. Sounds weird, right? Oh, and the second one, is that the final wording in the attack should go "This attack does 150 damage minus 50 damage for each Trainer card you discarded." Reference: Heatmor PLS). Apart from that, everything else is fine.
Believability/Playability: 11/15pts
Well, this card is not that balanced. It just bugs me that being a Basic EX that can get acceleration from Xerneas and potentially attack T2 it's a bit too much. I do get that usually around 2/5 of a deck are Trainers, but I believe that adding maybe [Y][Y] to the Energy requirement could make it a bit more balanced. And also, the Weakness is not corresponding to a Tyrantrum. If a Pokémon is Delta Species, it retains its original Weakness and Resistance, so a [M] weak Dragon is kind of weird. Specially since if you took inspiration from a Figthing type Tyrantrum, no incarnation of Fighting in the TCG is weak to Metal. So another 2 points there.
I liked this card overall, Momaster, it was just a bit unbalanced. Take note on those things and get ready for next month!

Great, a Dragon Clawitzer! Never thought of that one before!

Fantastic card when it comes to effects, it's really creative! I personally love the second attack, it's really cool! Nice job!
Wording: 12/15pts
First of all, you forgot to capitalize Energy once in the attack, so there's a point. Then. the first attack should say "You may discard an Energy card attached to this Pokémon. If you do, attach an Energy from your discard pile to this Pokémon..."(Reference: Landorus FFI), and then place the "You can't choose an Energy you discarded with the effect of this attack." Clause (Reference: Superior Energy Retrieval), so 2 points in that one. Also, I believe the second attack can be reworded better, but there's no reference for that. Nice job.
Believability/Playability: 15/15pts
I think everything that has to be done was said already: It's a good attack, but to pull it off effectively for a lot of turns is very difficult, so this card is in a perfect balance. Kudos!
Wow, I knew this card would do nice! Keep up the good work and go for the gold next month!

I'm not particularly amazed you went with Wiggly. xD Let's take it down:
Creativity/Originality: 20/20pts
This card is of course creative. A very funny Ability, a nicely thought attack... I like it!
Wording: 15/15pts
No mistakes here, moving on...
Believability/Playability: 7/15pts
Ok, you fell straight down. First of all, it's a 180HP Wigglytuff, which is very scary for a non-EX Stage 1. Then, the attack is absolutely SCARY in a Pokémon like that. Just use Xerneas T1 to accelerate Energy and then start a lock by T2 while attacking and hiding behind something like Trevenant, or Pyroar. And, the fact that it goes back to your bench makes a lock far more do-able. It's just scarily OP. I'd make it be worth [Y][Y][Y][C] to make it A BIT less broken. And also, the Weakness is not corresponding to a Wigglytuff. If a Pokémon is Delta Species, it retains its original Weakness and Resistance, so a [Y] weak Fairy is not really from a Delta Pokémon.
Well, the overall concept of the card looked nice... But it was freakin OP! D: Try to deal the power creep down a bit for next month, ok?

Alright, a Metal Crobat! Talk about Poison resistance. xD I wonder who was supposed to know what's behind the card, though... Let's see:

Wording: 15/15pts
Well, the text, even though there's no real recent reference, looks goodly enough. Although "Scizzor" is literally nothing(seriously, I Googled it). D: I guess that it was a typo, but since it's an attack name and looks legitimate enough, so, you dodged that one.
Believability/Playability: 13/15pts
Well, the only thing that makes this card a bit unbalanced is that it LITERALLY can't be OHKO'd, but AT LEAST 3HKO'd. It also makes Weakness a bit, well, useless. Maybe to make that Ability luck-based might do the trick.
I really liked this card, rev, keep up that amazing work!

Believability/Playability: 14/15pts
This card is actually very balanced. Energy requirements are fine, damage output as well, but just one thing hit your believability: The Energy in the first attack. The Energy placement follows the order of the types as in any BW-On set (as in Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness, Metal, Fairy, Dragon and Colorless). That said, you should have placed the icons the other way around (Most Recent Reference: Noivern FFI).

You have a very creative card here, Machamp. Nicely thought and very original. Perfect!
Wording: 14/15pts
Welp, you forgot the "Evolves from" clause. Nothing more besides that, though. *Thanks for noticing D:*
Believability/Playability: 15/15pts
This card's balance is actually very good. The chances that you actually get 6 Stage 2 Pokémon in play at one is extremely low, low enough to guarantee a win. And the attack is simply a bench-filler, so, it works nicely.
Wow, Machamp, you almost nailed this card! Keep up the good work!

Awesome, a Delta Kyurem that's a Dark-type. Where's Team Plasma when you need it? xD Let's unpiece this:
Creativity/Originality: 20/20pts
Awesome card, Drac, the Ability looks really cool and the attack is very original, specially because you brought back Holon Energy! Well done!
Wording: 13/15pts
I'm docking 2 point because of the Ability, that's supposed to say "Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for a Black Kyurem EX or White Kyurem EX and switch it withKyurem EX this Pokémon. (Any cards attached to Kyurem EX this Pokémon, damage counters, Special Conditions, turns in play, and any other effects effects remain on the new Pokémon.) (...)". And also, I should dock a point because of the extra space in the second attack after AND before the comma, but since it's not a big deal, consider that it's part of the first mistake.
Believability/Playability: 15/15pts
Well, first of all, given the Energy requirements in all Black/White Kyurem-EX, the Ability can't really be that abused, and the attack out put is not that big and is dificult to pull off every turn, so it's a perfect balance! Nice!
Very nice card overall, Drac, note those little things if you were to continue faking in BW/XY Era and keep this nice work going!
Total Score: 48/50pts
Ah, the Cradily that started the madness... xD Let's see how even crazier it gets:
Creativity/Originality: 20/20pts
Not going to lie, it's really nice! The Ability is very good in terms of creativity and the second one is actually very interesting(I'll get to it later). The last attack can also be a snipe, so that's neat! And to top it off, it's a Keeper's Pokémon. Nicely done!
Wording: 13/15pts
Well, the most noticeable thing is the lack of HP, so -2 for that. But apart from that, everything else is fine
Believability/Playability: 12/15pts
Well, the attacks are very balanced, TBH. The first attack, actually, I don't know how many Item Cards can be in play besides Tools, so, that's funny. But the fact that it has no HP makes it, LITERALLY, unable to be Knocked Out. You can attack him for 500 + Weakness that it survives, Poison will keep ading indefinitely... It's just hilariously insane!!! xD At first I considered a -5 here, but I'll take less because it's a small mistake, probably because of distraction, and it's a first-timer. But be aware that next time I'll have no mercy.
Well, the Cradily DID turned out to be wacky! But be a bit more careful next time, ok, pal?

All the wording is fine except for one thing: The Ability should say "Once during your turn (before YOUR attack),...". Nothing apart from that.
Believability/Playability: 13/15pts
When it comes to balance, the card is fine, but a little rock hit your believability: The Weakness is not corresponding to a Lampent. If a Pokémon is Delta Species, it retains its original Weakness and Resistance, so a [M] weak Fire-type is not really from a Delta Pokémon.
Well, it wasn't your best work, Alex, I gotta say. Try again next month and climb back to the top!

Wording: 12/15pts
First of all, you forgot to capitalize Energy once in the attack, so there's a point. Then. the first attack should say "You may discard an Energy card attached to this Pokémon. If you do, attach an Energy from your discard pile to this Pokémon..."(Reference: Landorus FFI), and then place the "You can't choose an Energy you discarded with the effect of this attack." Clause (Reference: Superior Energy Retrieval), so 2 points in that one. Also, I believe the second attack can be reworded better, but there's no reference for that.
Nice job. Believability/Playability: 15/15pts
I think everything that has to be done was said already: It's a good attack, but to pull it off effectively for a lot of turns is very difficult, so this card is in a perfect balance. Kudos!
Wow, I knew this card would do nice! Keep up the good work and go for the gold next month!

Wigglytuff's body is very flexible. By inhaling deeply, this Pokémon can inflate itself seemingly without end. Once inflated, Wigglytuff bounces along lightly like a balloon.
I'm not particularly amazed you went with Wiggly. xD Let's take it down:

Believability/Playability: 7/15pts
Ok, you fell straight down. First of all, it's a 180HP Wigglytuff, which is very scary for a non-EX Stage 1. Then, the attack is absolutely SCARY in a Pokémon like that. Just use Xerneas T1 to accelerate Energy and then start a lock by T2 while attacking and hiding behind something like Trevenant, or Pyroar. And, the fact that it goes back to your bench makes a lock far more do-able. It's just scarily OP. I'd make it be worth [Y][Y][Y][C] to make it A BIT less broken. And also, the Weakness is not corresponding to a Wigglytuff. If a Pokémon is Delta Species, it retains its original Weakness and Resistance, so a [Y] weak Fairy is not really from a Delta Pokémon.
Well, the overall concept of the card looked nice... But it was freakin OP! D: Try to deal the power creep down a bit for next month, ok?

Amazing imagination there, rev! Cool Ability, a Moderated attack as well... Oh, and that dual Resistance! Nice!
Wording: 15/15pts
Well, the text, even though there's no real recent reference, looks goodly enough. Although "Scizzor" is literally nothing(seriously, I Googled it). D: I guess that it was a typo, but since it's an attack name and looks legitimate enough, so, you dodged that one.
Believability/Playability: 13/15pts
Well, the only thing that makes this card a bit unbalanced is that it LITERALLY can't be OHKO'd, but AT LEAST 3HKO'd. It also makes Weakness a bit, well, useless. Maybe to make that Ability luck-based might do the trick.
I really liked this card, rev, keep up that amazing work!

This card is actually very balanced. Energy requirements are fine, damage output as well, but just one thing hit your believability: The Energy in the first attack. The Energy placement follows the order of the types as in any BW-On set (as in Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness, Metal, Fairy, Dragon and Colorless). That said, you should have placed the icons the other way around (Most Recent Reference: Noivern FFI).
Wow, bowlerdude, you made a fantastic job this time, congrats! Keep up that amazing work!

Welp, you forgot the "Evolves from" clause. Nothing more besides that, though.
*Thanks for noticing D:*Believability/Playability: 15/15pts
This card's balance is actually very good. The chances that you actually get 6 Stage 2 Pokémon in play at one is extremely low, low enough to guarantee a win. And the attack is simply a bench-filler, so, it works nicely.
Wow, Machamp, you almost nailed this card! Keep up the good work!

Well, first of all, given the Energy requirements in all Black/White Kyurem-EX, the Ability can't really be that abused, and the attack out put is not that big and is dificult to pull off every turn, so it's a perfect balance! Nice!
Very nice card overall, Drac, note those little things if you were to continue faking in BW/XY Era and keep this nice work going!

Not going to lie, it's really nice! The Ability is very good in terms of creativity and the second one is actually very interesting(I'll get to it later). The last attack can also be a snipe, so that's neat! And to top it off, it's a Keeper's Pokémon. Nicely done!
Wording: 13/15pts
Well, the most noticeable thing is the lack of HP, so -2 for that. But apart from that, everything else is fine
Believability/Playability: 12/15pts
Well, the attacks are very balanced, TBH. The first attack, actually, I don't know how many Item Cards can be in play besides Tools, so, that's funny.
But the fact that it has no HP makes it, LITERALLY, unable to be Knocked Out. You can attack him for 500 + Weakness that it survives, Poison will keep ading indefinitely... It's just hilariously insane!!! xD At first I considered a -5 here, but I'll take less because it's a small mistake, probably because of distraction, and it's a first-timer. But be aware that next time I'll have no mercy.Well, the Cradily DID turned out to be wacky!

A very nice card, ATA, the Ability is very nice, and the attack is not really something you see everyday. Nice job!

All the wording is fine except for one thing: The Ability should say "Once during your turn (before YOUR attack),...". Nothing apart from that.
Believability/Playability: 13/15pts
When it comes to balance, the card is fine, but a little rock hit your believability: The Weakness is not corresponding to a Lampent. If a Pokémon is Delta Species, it retains its original Weakness and Resistance, so a [M] weak Fire-type is not really from a Delta Pokémon.
Well, it wasn't your best work, Alex, I gotta say. Try again next month and climb back to the top!
