TCG Fakes ReapThaWhirlwind's Graphic Underworld [Text Based Designs]

Focus Serum

Focus Serum [Pokémon Tool]

Damage the Pokémon that this card is attached to would take from Pokémon it has Weakness to is reduced by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Prevent all damage the Pokémon this card is attached to would deal to itself and your Benched Pokémon.

Imposter Pikachu

Imposter Pikachu [Supporter]

You can play this card only if you discard 2 other cards from your hand.

Discard 2 Energy cards attached to your opponent's Benched Pokémon.


Anyone think this is overpowered as it is? I know it is a powerful effect, but for a Supporter (targeting the Bench), it seems like it would be a fair play as a Supporter. Potentially, it doesn't even disrupt the Primary Threat, and only hurts the opponent on the exchange, or when you have the advantage.

UPDATE

I decided that this does need an additional cost of some kind. Pokemon TCG is very open source and free-flowing. Although requiring a combo, it is too easy a combo.

Of course, I had originally thought to go the route of the original Super Energy Removal, but in reality, that didn't really do anything for the original card. It was still overpowered and discontinued, so it should be obvious that is not enough restriction.

If you take a look back at the previous Nidoking V card I made, it shows how little a restriction it truly can be. Easily affordable for Pokemon with Bench swapping attacks and abilities requiring only single energy (or no energy at all).

Discarding two cards is much better. It now becomes a 4 card combo from the hand (saying you have Bench swapping Item), but also then enables rebound potential with other Supporters that reload your hand from empty (Professor Juniper, Giovanni's Scheme, Lillie). That synergy makes it healthy for continuance. And makes the design fun and interactive for strategies to be built around it.

I also think this restriction is better than making it a Prism Star card, since that would reduce the best potential of this effect to very low probability. There's almost no reason making it at all. It could be a different effect entirely instead—better suited to the Prism Star dynamics.

Victory Road

Victory Road [Stadium Card]

Once during each player's turn, that player may discard a Pokémon from his or her hand. If that player does, they may search their deck for a Pokémon, reveal it, and put it into their hand. Then that player shuffles their deck.

Very simple, straight forward. I thought this would be helpful in the Stage 2 era with all the GX and sort. Now with the new V-Union cards it would see another world of potential. The concept is based on Pokémon catching in Victory Road, that would be expending a Pokémon in attempts of catching a powerful or elusive Pokémon in return. Plus, the name Giovanni's Concentration Camp probably isn't very G-Rated friendly.

I question if for coherence it would want to highlight [Dynamax Max, Gigantamax G-Max, V Star Star attacks]. Because honestly, I would just put those details in comprehensive rulings. It only extends to attacks with those names from those specific types of cards. GX refers to the literal GX attack, and not just any attack from a GX card. Same for the others.

Snorlax V

Snorlax V 220HP

{Ability} Brilliant Leftovers [During Pokémon Checkup, if this Pokémon in your Active Spot, remove 3 damage counters from it.]

CCC Hungry Skull Bash [100] This Pokemon may use this attack even if it has no energy attached to it. If it does, the base damage is 20 instead. Otherwise, flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokemon is now Confused and can't retreat during your opponent's next turn.

The idea here was to create a V so good, you couldn't mess it up, even with the worst V Star design.

Misty's Breaststroke // Misty's Masterstroke & Ho-Oh ex

Misty's Breaststroke [Ver 1] [Ver 2]

Misty's Masterstroke [Ver 1] [Ver 2]

Misty's Breaststroke/Misty's Masterstroke [Supporter]

Flip a coin for each Energy attached to your Active Pokémon. For each heads, you may attach an Energy card from your hand or discard pile to 1 of your Pokémon.

Here's a design I came up with after seeing someone post the Misty supporter from Pokémon TCG Pocket. I didn't realize it was a real card at the moment, but this is what I believe would be a better version of that effect.

Ho-Oh ex

Ho-Oh ex 220HP

{Ability} Baptizing Fire [Once during your turn (before your attack), if this Pokémon is in your Active Spot, you may heal 60 damage from 1 of your Pokémon that has any F Energy attached to it. You can't use more than 1 Baptizing Fire Ability during your turn.]

FFCC Dive Bomb [200] Flip a coin. If tails, discard all Energy attached to this Pokémon.

Weakness: W 2x
Resistance: F -30
Retreat: CC


This was another design inspired by another person's design that I felt was a failed attempt. Their version of the ability they had wasn't really effective for the cost (something like 20 damage at the cost of an energy a piece). This would effectively cost you everything and essentially gain you nothing. You wouldn't be able to offset any significant damage exchange, or disrupt the prize exchange either. The user would effectively still get two-pieced or three-pieced in every relevant scenario. I had explained that, even Super Potion only costs you a single energy for 60 damage healing. This wants to be on the curve for that, and in the meta today, blends well with modern healing; going as far back even as when running dual Florges BREAK (of which I had a deck that could accomplish this consistently [see here]). The hike plus risk factor for the attack seeks to tie everything together and bring it full circle.
