Making a custom card
Search any of the 1,025 Pokémon and the card fills itself in: official artwork on a painted background, HP, two attacks, weakness, resistance, retreat cost and a Pokédex entry. Random does the same with a Pokémon picked for you. Every field can then be changed, or press Blank and write a card from nothing for a fan-made Pokémon, a pet or a friend.
Card styles from 11 eras
Era switches the whole frame: Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, X & Y / Black & White, HeartGold & SoulSilver, Diamond & Pearl, EX, EX (eCard), eCard, Pocket, Prototype. Each era offers the card kinds it really had, so Scarlet & Violet has ex and Tera frames, Sword & Shield has V, VMAX and VSTAR, and Sun & Moon has GX. Text sits where it does on a printed card, in the same typefaces, and shrinks the same way when an attack runs long. An evolved Pokémon gets its pre-evolution in the corner inset.
Where the numbers come from
Nothing in an auto-filled card is invented. HP scales from the Pokémon's base HP stat, the attacks are moves it learns by level in its latest game with damage scaled from move power, weakness and resistance are the ones printed on its latest real card, and retreat cost follows its weight. The video games have 18 types and the card game 11, so each type is printed as the card type the real game uses for it: a Rock Pokémon gets a Fighting card.
Your own art
Upload image takes any picture from your device. Fill the frame crops it to the art window, Whole image shows all of it, and the three sliders zoom and move it. Behind the official artwork goes a painted background in one of three styles: a simple location like a background from the anime, a loose watercolour wash like the early sets, or a soft out-of-focus scene. It follows the card's type unless you pick another.
Saving and printing
Download PNG saves the card at 745 by 1,040 pixels, which prints at the standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches at 300 dpi. Your last card is kept in the browser, apart from uploaded art, which you add again after a reload.
