Q&A for How to Make a Pokémon Card

Create your image on a paint editor or a 3d model editor and download it. You can also draw and illustrate your own character.

Yeah! Make whatever you want.

Not unless you're actually trying to pass them off as real ones. If you're just making custom cards for fun, you're not hurting nobody.

You cannot because Pokémon restricts custom-made cards or fake cards.

Yes, but it would be illegal to do so. In other words, don't do it.

You can trade custom-made cards, provided the person you are trading with knows the card is not a legitimate Pokemon card.

Go to trusted stores such as Chimera and GameStop.

Be creative and you can do whatever you want, but try not to make an all-powerful card. Maybe give it some sort of weakness, too.

If you are using a website, save an image you find on the internet and click the button on the website that imports your image. Then, select your image.

Yes, because you could still get in trouble for copyright infringement for using the Pokemon name or any characteristics that are copyrighted by Pokemon.

Use the Stage 1 and Stage 2 indicators. Basic is a 1st evolution, and Stage 1 is a 2nd evolution, while Stage 2 is a 3rd evolution. You can also get Mega Evolution, where the card will say MEGA where it normally says BASIC.

Download it and email it to your computer. Then download it onto the computer.

Of course! in fact some Pokémon ( like Gardevoir, Elfuun, and others ) are both grass and fairy!

Of course you can make secret rare custom cards. You can make any types or rarities of Pokemon.

You can at home, but anywhere else (if you get caught) you can't, at least not in official battles.

You can go to photopiea, put your screenshot in, go to file, export as, click any.

Use energy cards unless you don't have any. Then you can trade with a friend.

If someone thinks that the card is real but it is your creation, you should just let them know.

Yes, you can both sell them and trade them, just as long as you don't claim them as real cards because that is illegal.

Yes, you can do it by using weakness and resistance. For example: weakness water times 2, resistance all -600.

You can use any device to make custom cards, preferably one that is connected to a printer.

Yes. In fact, most mega's are EX's! So your card will fit right in with other ones. (Just don't claim they are real, because that is illegal.)

Besides the sites mentioned in the article, you can use other websites to create cards. A good example is pokecardmaker.com.

You can buy cards from a store like Target or from a person who does have cards. I prefer to use energy cards because I think that they have no use.

Yes, you absolutely can! In fact, you can make GX's, EX's, Vmax's, Vstar's, basic's, stage 1's, stage 2's, and all the other types of Pokemon!

You can use any kind of paper you want but it might not come out the same.

If you mean how to choose a move in a battle, then you must attach enough energy as it needs, as shown to the right of the attack. You must have the appropriate energy type for each, except if it is a star in a circle. That means you can use any energy. As long as you have enough energy attached to that Pokemon, for that move, you can use it.
