At the risk of having made a broken card, here's a Xerneas. I'm probably going to nerf it.

Even more Plasma, haha. I think during the last Marathon I commented on how neat it was to be able to try out all these new eras of faking, whereas now I'm just using it as an excuse for a miniset. xD
Blank by asche, edits by me, as per usual. The art is from a TCG wallpaper (I think Platinum?). Virtually everything else by asche.

I haven’t had much of a chance to fake this time around, but here’s a pre-evo for a Parasect-GX I made a few months ago.

The mushrooms, known as tochukaso, are controlling the bug. Even if the bug bugs the mushrooms, they tell it to bug off.

Probably the last one for me. Time constraints! Dx
It's been fun! This has been a neat opportunity to dust off Photoshop and break out what are rapidly becoming my favorite blanks to mess around with. Not sure how much I'll do with them in the future, whether I'll set aside the time for a miniset or not, but they're certainly fun to use.
The render is by @Nyan, who graciously whipped up this render super super fast when I asked for one. The choice of Lurantis for this card was also hers.

MissingNo. HP 880 Colorless/Metal
Stage 2 - Evolves from Persian-GX
NO. ∞ Glitched Pokémon HT: 9" WT: 70 ltr
[W][M] Blast Off 90
This attack does 90 damage to 1 of your Benched Pokémon (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon). If that Pokémon now has 10, 50, 150, or 170 HP remaining, discard the top 2 cards of your opponent's deck. If any Supporter cards were discarded in this way, your opponent puts all Energy cards from their discard pile into their hand. Put 1 damage counter on your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like for each card they put into their hand in this way.
Fifty-six pineapples fell from the sky into a bucket full of tomato soup on a fine Winter morning. The result was whatever the <redacted> this <redacted> Pokémon is.

Resistance: Basic -30
Retreat: [W][C][C]

And that's a wrap, everyone! I'm really happy with the turnout for this year's marathon and hope to continue to do it for years to come! This marathon has had more entrants, more entries, and a higher score than the one held in 2016. (Even scoring those cards based on the new scoring system, it comes in at 231 points.)
This contest had 9 contestants who submitted a total of 45 fake cards, which altogether scored 238 points! Of those cards, two scored the maximum possible points for a single card. Congrats on a job well done, everyone!
For those interested, I've created a spreadsheet with all the points breakdowns for this contest and the previous contest. View it here!
What do you think can be done to improve this contest in the future? Two thoughts I had were that Fakemon should count for extra points and a loose theme could also be applied to future contests, similar to what is done for Create-a-Card Contests, but not required for every card that is submitted. For example, +2 points to your card's score if you use a regional variant Pokémon, etc. If you have any thoughts, suggestions, comments, questions, or anything else, post it below!
And once again, well done for this contest! I consider it a huge success and everyone involved made some amazing cards!
