Rulebook

Rarity

Rarity comes from follower count.

Verification changes the finish: a blue check makes the card a reverse holo, a gold check makes it gilded (and grants the Blue Chip ability — it can’t be ratioed). Protected accounts can’t attack and can’t be attacked.

Stats

• HP — follower count on a log scale, capped at 340.
• Stage — account age. Under 4 years is Basic, 4–11 is Stage 1, 12+ is Stage 2.
• Attack damage — total posts and follower ratio. A ratio above 50 adds +20.
• Retreat cost — total posts. Above 100K posts it costs the full 4 energy to log off.

Types

Type is read from keywords in the bio. If nothing matches, it falls back to a hash of the handle. Each type is weak to one type and resists another:

The chart is two cycles. Elements: Ember → Flora → Volt → Tide → Ember. Vibes: Shade → Psy → Steel → Prism → Shade.

Battles

1. Each card has a power score: HP + attack damage + a rarity bonus, plus small bonuses for verification and abilities.
2. Type advantage multiplies it: ×1.6 against a card weak to you, ×0.75 against one that resists you.
3. Higher adjusted score wins. A tie goes to the older account.

Battles are deterministic — a rematch always ends the same way.

FAQ

• Is this official? No. It’s a parody and uses no Pokémon assets.
• Is my data stored? No. Cards are generated on the fly from public profile info.
• Can I reroll my card? Only by changing your profile. The card reflects the account.
