Hi everyone! I'll be showing off some of my fake card ideas here. Any feedback on them is greatly appreciated.
The idea I'd like to share now is the concept of Swarm Pokemon. All these Pokemon have the ability Swarm, and though their effects may vary, they greatly improve the capabilities of your active Swarm Pokemon for each of them you have in your bench. They may be basic, stage one or fully evolved, but they will all be Bug type Pokemon in the video games.
Bugcatcher
Supporter
Look at your Prize Cards. You may add up to 2 cards from your hand to your Prize Cards. Then, reveal a Pokemon with the same name as any of your Pokemon in play for each card you added to your Prize Cards and put them into your hand.
You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).
Changelog:
0100 - 24/5/15 - Added Scizor, Paras and Scolipede.
1630 - 24/5/15 - Fixed grammar errors. Revised Scizor's ability and attack.
1830 - 24/5/15 - Added Whirlipede and Metal Coat
2045 - 26/5/15 - Added Scyther, Venipede and Bugcatcher
