While maybe not the best card, it would most likely be used as a tech to bring put more Pokemon, like alolan vulpix.
To make it a little more playable, I would pair it with tools like:

I thought about changing the ability to copy any Pokemon in play and to be able to use the attacks of any Pokemon but combined with the GX attack, then maybe(?) it would be too overpowered if you ran a rainbow deck. Either way it would be fun to use different attack/type combinations in different games.
Also I was originally going to make this just a regular, non-GX card but decided to change it in the end to make it a little better. Originally the GX attack was going to be the same except you flipped a coin and if heads looked for a basic pokemon and added to your bench, instead of matching the number of your opponents benched pokemon. I also increased the HP from 60 to 100 because I didn't want it to be considered too weak of a GX Pokemon.

I wanted to make a card that referenced the anniversary. Since Mimikyu is wants to be loved like Pikachu and looks like Pikachu, he would be a perfect candidate. Obviously the card was heavily inspired by ____'s Pikachu (also known as Birthday Pikachu). As for the dex entry I wanted to put a special dex entry (along the lines of the BW Secret Rares. I wanted to make it similar to ___'s Pikachu's dex entry, but when that card was printed dex entries weren't featured on the card.

Here everyone is making Prism Star Pokémon or Pokémon-GX and while I think that's cool, I'm the kind of person who wants to create something unique and creative, different from what the crowd will create. So I decided to make my first non-GX Pokémon in the competition where everyone seems to make something special. Its uniqueness is how simple it is compared to the rest. So, does it stand up in terms of thought process against the more powerful and creatively balanced Pokémon-GX or Prism Star Pokémon?
My basis for this once again was using the ability of the Pokémon I chose from the video games and the lore surrounding it from the Pokédex to create ideas. But as Justified was already printed for a Cobalion promo and did exactly what you expect it would do, I had to be more creative and punish Dark-type Pokémon specifically in another way. The idea for Righteous Blade just came from Metal typically being a very defensive type, lowering the damage output I would think to give a more agressive Pokémon and give it a more creative idea for a defensive playstyle rather than the basic "Taking less damage" or "Healing damage" and added a fun little bit of disruption to play into the already disruptive playstyle of the ability, as well as something to strengthen the card if it was too underpowered and could just allow the targeted Pokémon-EX or Pokémon-GX to retreat and completely bypass the attack's effect.
I hope this was well balanced, fun to read, and faithful to my sources. I had fun with this one.

While this isn't an actual issue or anything I would edit my entry for, it does look fairly confusing to have Kingdra Prime listed as a reference when my entry seems to have no connection to it. This was actually for a scrapped idea for the ability, and I simply forgot to take it out. If this lowers my score by the judges, I wish to own up to that mistake and state that my entry should be fairly evaluated with this fact in mind.
