Here was my submission for the Illustration Grand Prix 2022! Unfortunately didn't make it into the top 300, but the challenge gave me a reason to at least try and draw something at a time when my motivation was at its lowest, and I'm still quite happy with it! 🦆🤖🦆

Went to a flea market hoping there was a tiny chance I'd find some vintage Pokémon goodies,
instead I've found something that's both way better and way worse.

Poltchageist's Scarlet Pokédex entry:
"It sprinkles some of its powdery body onto food and drains the life-force from those who so much as lick it."
Oooh 😨
Friendly reminder that, although the English wording on those Abilities is misleading, Abilities that reduce the costs of "this Pokémon's attacks" are actually intended as "attacks this Pokémon uses", and do definitely apply to TMs.
"I'm the Radiant Charizard now"
As my opponent's Concealed Cards gets them the Nest Ball and Switching Cart they need for a third Flower Selecting into a Colress for two Mirage Gates and
I'm very, very happy to announce I just secured my Worlds invite! 💖
A League Cup Top 2 today got me that +8CP I needed to get over the line, and I'm now at 504/500
73% came from Miraidon, then Roaring Moon took care of the remaining 27%. I play dumb aggro decks, but it works⚡️🌚
Here's my take on the Comfey 1st VS Colress 1st debate:
Obviously you want to bench Comfey first, since that's an extra draw with Colress 👍✨
Hope that helped!
I feel dumb it took me this long to realise Toedscruel prevents your opponent from putting into their hand the items they hit with PokéStop. It's been so long since I actually read PokéStop, I imagined it as "put the Items into your hand and discard the rest". It's not. 🍄
