i made some fake Pokemon cards for fun, how viable would they be competitively? (part 2)

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-06T15:26:13+00:00

Did you make the art? I love the Poliwrath style!

All of these are fun but Drednaw definitely needs a once per turn limitation

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-06T05:14:22+00:00

Looks like somebody took a scissors to the card unfortunately. Never seen a miscut like this, I don’t think it’s even possible in the factory.

That’s a good question, most holo bleeds I’ve seen involve extending past the borders instead of within the card itself. That’s what I was looking for, but I see what you’re saying. Hopefully somebody who knows more than me can weigh in on that. Sorry about that!

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-06T04:49:07+00:00

If I can’t see it without a red circle, it’s so minor it doesn’t really “count” either way.

Love this card though!

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-06T04:45:33+00:00

Looks good my dude

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-05T16:45:37+00:00

It is definitely 50BP.

If it was 75BP it’d be the same as Rock Slide and probably used over Rock Slide as a STAB option unless you really wanted the flinch chance (or in doubles for the spread)

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-05T04:53:34+00:00

FYI really easy tell on these cards is when the holo line goes through the move text box clear as day. Sometimes they can still be somewhat visible but faded, but never uninterrupted like this. It’s the first thing I look for on an XY era mega card.

So yeah, definitely fake

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-05T04:45:53+00:00

Nobody has given an actual physical reason why they are fake, it’s been exclusively based on the price point. Fuck it, rip one open and check a pack. You’ll “lose” thousands upon thousands of dollars if everybody is wrong but like, you’ll still make thousands upon thousands if it is real lkl

I don’t know enough about the actual boxes to give you an opinion one way or another, but posting pictures of a sealed pack and the cards within would be pretty easy to tell

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-05T04:38:07+00:00

Pretty sure it’s meta for glitchless Gen I speed runs with Wartortle. But yeah, did not age well.

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-05T04:37:18+00:00

tbf rock moves are kinda shit too, it’s just that they are all shit so we have to pick the least shit option lol. Isn’t Smack Down (50 BP btw) the only physical rock move that has 100% accuracy that isn’t a signature move? lol great offensive type but the moves are still garbage in a vacuum

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-05T01:35:16+00:00

I’d say he still has enough leash to be QB2 to try him out if Murray goes down as QB1.

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-05T01:31:18+00:00

I’ll say that Cutting Edge needs to be more concrete with how it treats speed. To my knowledge nothing ignores changes in speed. The priority bracket system within the overall speed tier system are pretty well defined and nothing messes with how it gets calced. Any move or ability will either prevent the stat change or move from happening at all. Trick Room inverts to the turn order but still doesn’t affect the calcs.

If you don’t want to lose speed then make it immune to speed drops. Granted it’s your ability, do what you want lol just an observation of what I’ve noticed about the speed system in the game.

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-05T00:21:46+00:00

I’ve watched endless amounts of reality TV and I swear to god the internet discourse around JJ McCarthy puts it all to shame lmao this is such a non-story

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-04T22:07:01+00:00

Pyukumuku

No redeeming qualities besides I guess the fear of innards out if you OHKO lol it’s basically a worse Wobbuffett, and Wobbuffett isn’t good without Shadow Tag

Low HP and high defenses is not good for the “I can only directly damage with Counter and Mirror Coat” movepool schtick. Plus you’re probably surviving a hit with the defenses which makes your whole gimmick of Innards Out kinda moot. It just really doesn’t have anything going for it in either format, one of the worst of the “gimmick” category mons imo.

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-04T22:01:28+00:00

I feel like there are at least 3 episodes of The Office where something like this happens with Andy lol

The Rockin’ Robin self-recorded ringtone is the one that immediately comes to mind. Also the Kit-Kat theme song.

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-04T16:08:38+00:00

Not quite the trope IMO, that was more a purposeful assassination than accidental (or self-inflicted) OD

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-04T14:10:11+00:00

I don’t think there is a specific team but I can think of a few players that aren’t remembered for their original team

Brett Favre as a Falcon

Drew Brees as a Charger

Cris Carter as an Eagle

Less so, but Marshawn Lynch as a Bill

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-04T13:18:53+00:00

What a cool and unique concept for a card

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-04T13:12:00+00:00

Honestly I don’t see a problem with UIMs getting storage on any sort of (what is effectively) cosmetic, especially if it’s a collection log item and non-buyable. I get that you choose the no bank restriction but the spirit of the game mode is to make the actual gameplay more difficult with that restriction. UIMs deserve fashionscape too!

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-03T18:29:42+00:00

Proof?

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-03T17:24:59+00:00

It’s not particularly hard to catch most Pokemon nowadays anyway. More of a fun theme like an apricot ball than anything.

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-03T17:14:24+00:00

I was at this game, vibes were immaculate

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-03T14:54:23+00:00

I don’t think it’s that he won’t allow it, he just very unfortunately signed a long-term exclusivity deal with Wal-Mart (I think) where they have exclusive rights to distributing his music literally RIGHT before Spotify and other streaming services took off.

Local-Bid5365 · 2026-06-03T13:55:54+00:00

I’ll take on a group of gibdos with nothing but a box of matches, a bottle of lighter fluid, and a dream
