Beware this trio of cute bunnies, full of fun, bouncy tricks, and easter eggs ! First they are a drawing engine, with direct access to your Propagation Exeggcute... and later on to your Lucky Eggs (especially on the turn you plan to resolve the GX attack). Then they can pack a punch, or a kick really - dealing 160 in a pinch. Finally when they have done enough tricks for the day, they vanish back home - leaving mums or dads behind to solve the troubles they have caused.

There is only 1 Fighting Type TTGX and it only represents 1 out of 3 types under Fighting and isn't good in a Fighting friendly meta. This TTGX is designed to spice up the Standard meta. The ability is based on a Carbink print and directly counters the Hammer meta. It works in tandem with the GX attack, which blocks anything that doesn't attach from hand (yes to Welder/Moth, no to Intrepid). With buffed X Ball attack unlike Coalossal, it can do more than Boss benched supports, and unlike Urshifu, doesn't contribute to a Psychic/Dark/Fighting triangle meta.

My card is based on the abilities of Durant and Excadrill: Durant is infamous for its Devour mill, represented through the ability and second attack effect. Excadrill is well known for its Rototiller card in the TCG and power in the VGC. Both of these strengths are shown through the first and third attack effects.
The GX attack represents the pair’s ability to dig deadly tunnels. If placed correctly, the opponent will take damage, but if the friendly side interferes, they’ll be hit too. The additional effect offers a control attack to slow down the opponent and give yourself more time to mill.

COMMENTS
I wanted to bring Golisopod and Inteleon's defining features (retreating and sniping) to life in this card. The Parting Shot ability incorporates both, giving you 1 free damage counter placement every time you leave the active spot.
Fight and Flight has low damage output, but embodies Golisopod's hit and run playstyle and allows you to hide behind defensive Pokemon or Dolls.
The ace in the hole is the Million Mile Missile, which snipes any Pokemon for 200 damage from the safety of your Bench. I hope these mechanics capture all that makes Golisopod and Inteleon vibrant and unique.

Hypno and Musharna, more or less seemed like an obvious choice to put together. Its designed more or less to create a board state win condition rather than, Big Damage = Big Win.

COMMENTS
This card is heavily based on the story of X&Y by incorporating both life and death mechanics from both Xerneas and Yveltal. The GX attack does both effects at the same time but independent of each other so if you don't have any extra of one type of energy the other effect will still go off with no problems.

I designed this card around the mechanics of Lost Zone.
The idea is to have a card that has high damage ceiling (up to 330 damage!) and has its own energy acceleration (its ability), but has a downside of potentially losing key cards to the Lost Zone as you use them
For its GX attack, imagine the Lost Zone collapses and a big wave hits all Pokemon in play dealing some damage to them as a result. The extra effect is a somewhat protection to your own Pokemon.

I wanted to center this card around the idea of wishes and time, which led to card manipulation and additional turns. The ability allows the player to decide whether damage or card search is more important, and allows this card to be both utility and offense.

I chose to exclude certain aspects from my card because I felt it would intrude on the card art. This was too fun to make.

Rush In + Secret Sword are from Keldeo EX, buffed with Keldeo GX's Sonic Edge effect. Hell Freeze references Kyurem's destructive power and works well with Rush In, but comes at a cost of two prize cards.

I really like the notion of a card stacking damage and defense over time, and I also made it so that if your 1 ZamaZacian gets KO'd your other ones still have the effect of the GX attack!

In general, Tag Teams are all about hitting large numbers, so I decided to make one that is more focused on control. The Lost Zone is one of my favorite mechanics, but most of the cards dealing with it are very restrictive, i.e. Trumbeak from Lost Thunder. This is why I gave the ability and the GX attack the ability to hit any card in the respective area. Without a reference point, the GX attack may be too strong, but I would rather see a strong control card rather than a broken control combo (rip Bellelba & Brycen-Man and Oranguru).
