    Might as well make an equivalent one for the Pokemon TCG here. It's pretty straightforward even if you're not particularly knowledgeable about the game. All you have to do is defeat the previous card and provide a reason why your card beats it. Weakness or resistance is a common one but also think of anything else like having more HP, or less retreat cost. As long as you can provide a reasonable explanation as to why your card beats the previous one, it's all good.

    I'll begin with this.

    Absol wins for being a basic Pokémon, making him much easier to get out into the battle.

    Growlithe wins because it helped Officer Jenny find Giovanni so she could send him and his Machamp to prison.

    Articuno wins because Water trumps Fire and just one attack from Articuno is enough to destroy Growlithe entirely!

    As the master of Articuno and the other two, Lugia commands Articuno to fly away and leave poor Growlithe alone :(

    By virtue of the fact that Keldeo EX has more HP than your Lugia's attack can deal with one hit, Keldeo EX easily survives the hit and attacks for 110 HP (assuming he has three water energies attached to him with which he can perform the attack.) This is assuming that Keldeo has used the Rush In ability to enter the fray after Lugia came in, so he has the chance to attack, live, and attack again, meaning that he knocks your Lugia out.

    yeaaaah strategizing this thing SO HARD

    This Serperior could easily stand a hit or two from Keldeo and he'd hit back even harder with Leaf Storm's super effective 120 power whilst healing himself. Game and match my friend.
     
    Game and match?

    You think this... this... this STARTER can take down a LEGENDARY?
    Say HOLO to my little friend.

    This is Groudon Holo from the EX Delta Species 11 set. He can single-handedly accumulate Energies for his second attack off of one, and hit for 80 with the second one. Your Serperior'll be forced to switch in two-to-three turns, if not dead by the fourth.

    Did I mention it's a shiny?
