How would you re-do Base / Jungle / Fossil?

My favorite card from Base :blush:

I like all of the changes in your list. The one I’ve thought about before and definitely wish was a thing is holo golem!!

Sorry to bump such an old thread but I was just about to make it again and I guess there are enough new active members who may not have seen it that would like to fantasize along with me.

What prompted this was Mr. Mime being the only psychic in jungle, which makes no sense. It should be in base set, and exeggcute/tor should be psychic typing for jungle, and throw slowpoke/bro in there too.

With so few fire and electric types I’d re-distribute them like this:
Base - pika/raichu, electabuzz, charmander, growlithe, vulpix lines
Jungle - pika/raichu, voltorb/electrode, ponyta line, flareon
Fossil - zapdos, magemite/ton, moltres, magmar

For colorless:
Meowth/persian, J/Wigglytuff, pidgeot and dodrio in base
Chansey and dratini line to jungle
Clefairy/fable in fossil

Jungle has only 3 water types so I would move krabby and kingler there, and maybe horsea and seadra.

And finally to complete evolution lines, butterfree to base, drowzee to fossil, koffing to fossil, sandslash to base

Anyway, fun thought experiment!

Base → Jungle, demoted to uncommon.

Replacing Clefairy as 5/102, i.e bumped up to holographic.

Jungle → Base, retain holographic status.

These two should swap.

Jungle → Base/Fossil, promoted to rare or holographic.

With Fossil I would want to do either this:

Uncommon → Rare holographic

Or this:


Demoted to uncommon and then one of these three are promoted to rare holographic:
