A Dark Tinkaton with art by dA's Marcos-A-Rodrigues! The effect comes from a conversation I had with a friend of mine the other day about an effect we decided would be a blast to play on a real card. We'll see if I have time to make another Tinkaton before the deadline to really cash in on the Poké-Body.
Here's a holo and non-holo version for comparison (and so you can see the art and text more easily), but we're only counting the holo version for points, of course!
EDIT: Fixed a couple things — the card correctly says Stage 2 now, and has the "before applying Weakness and Resistance" reminder text. I also made it evolve from Dark Tinkatuff for believability's sake, though that might limit its playability with other Tinkaton!

I was looking at Gravity Monkey’s Greninja and was wondering if copying any attack and changing your type was too strong for two Energy, especially when you didn’t have to get the Pokémon into play first. Then I thought “would it be more balanced if your opponent could copy an attack on your turn, too?” That was where I got the idea for this card.
P.S. I would be curious to hear people’s feedback on what would happen if I submitted this card as-is to the Lackey Counsel. I’m not sure how I feel about Shades of Imitation balance-wise, so I would value more experienced card designer’s first (and second) impressions.
Basic Marshadow HP 60 (P)
NO. 802 Gloomdweller Pokémon HT: 2’04” WT: 48.9 lbs.
(F) Wisp Break 30
Put an Energy attached to this Pokémon on top of your deck.
(P)(C) Shades of Imitation
Choose 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon’s attacks and use it as this attack. Then, your opponent chooses 1 of your Pokémon’s attacks. Their active Pokémon uses that attack. (If this attack Knocks Out their Active Pokémon, they must choose a new Active Pokémon first.)
Weakness (D) x2 Resistance (F) -20 Retreat (C)
It slips into the shadows of others and mimics their powers and movements. As it improves, it becomes stronger than those it’s imitating.

This is a beautiful card with interesting design potential, but it looks like you forgot to change the default HP. Out of curiosity, how much HP did you plan to give it? It looks like a card I may want to play with casually.
@Jabberwock Wouldn't it evolve from DARK Tinkatuff? And why is it Basic?
@SleepyBoi I had no idea "Name" evolves into Cradily. Never heard of that Pokémon lol

Hmmm, yes, that one-HP Pokémon with superb Ability Swap cheese potential and the Sprout Tower mascot that nearly swept Ash’s team until he discovered that another of his random, unused Pokémon was stronger than Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Squirtle combined. Conway’s Shuckle is in good company.Posting the ones I made last night for points++. Had to get at least a few in this year.
In all seriousness, even after wearing out his regular team escaping his kidnappers, Ash still could have cheesed Richie with Muk and Kingler if he’d asked the ref nicely for just five more minutes of patience. I didn’t realize it when I was Ash’s age, but those two Pokémon carried him through the first four rounds.
Yep, we definitely get sloppier during the Faker’s Marathon. There was that one time I left the placement layer for the set symbol on for one of my cards, but my favorite “blunder” was the time I used the exact same texture—and virtually the same homemade illustration—for twelve cards. PMJ only counted one of those cards. I thought I was a genius who had discovered a way to cheese 180 points, but it was not to be, and that was probably for the best.
So let Name evolve into Cradily. The Cradily is fine craftsmanship. The same cannot be said for the TM I created in Google Drawings in five minutes.

Here is another card. This one was designed to go with the Protean Energy I submitted to the June and July CaC. https://www.pokebeach.com/forums/th...cial-energy-swap-all-results-up.153914/page-5
Basic Kecleon HP 70 (C)
NO. 352 Color Swap Pokémon HT: 3’03” WT: 48.5 lbs.
Ability Rotating Coat
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard an Energy from this Pokémon. If you do, attach a basic Energy card from your discard pile to this Pokémon. You can’t choose a card you discarded with the effect of this Ability.

I’m not sure what inspired me to create this card, but this feels like an interesting way to represent Porygon’s ability to travel through cyberspace while exploring some design space that I, for one, have not explored before (I’m not sure how many people have used similar effects already).
Designing a Porygon2 and Porygon-Z that synergize with this Porygon will be fun, but as a stand-alone card, it offers a counter to cards like N, Judge and Reset Stamp (taken in the historical context of the Sun and Moon era) at the expense of not being able to top-deck something other than Porygon next turn. It would also protect you from shenanigans like Gengar & Mimikyu GX. I’m not sure what it would protect you from in Lackey’s Expanded format if it ever got added there.

Happy New Year y'all!
A hasty last-minute fake! Thanks to Steve K on our Discord for his always-amazing artwork. 
I've also fixed a couple things in the Dark Tinkaton I posted before, which I've edited into the post. Thanks for pointing them out, all!
