1. ABILITY EXPLANATION
IMAGE
Bromguard is wearing armour-like plates that resemble shields and has flames or charred marks on his design, a connection to how bromine is flame retardant and can resist fire. He has a metallic, reddish-brown body to reflect bromine’s colour and his design also includes misty or vaporous elements, representing bromine’s gaseous state.
“PURIFICATION”
My Pokémon’s “Purification” ability is based on how bromine can be used to purify water effectively as it dissociates in water by forming hypobromous acid (HBrO), which has powerful disinfectant properties and can kill the cells of many pathogens. I associated the element symbol HBrO with this ability because it is the symbol of the acid bromine forms during the purification process.
“FLAME RETARDANT”
My Pokémon’s “Flame Retardant” ability is based on how bromine acts as a flame retardant by releasing active bromine atoms into the gas phase before the material reaches its ignition temperature. These bromine atoms disrupt the combustion process by quenching the chemical reactions occurring in the flame, reducing the heat generated and slowing or preventing the burning process. The number that I associated with Bromguard’s flame retardant abilities is 19.7%, because it represents the share of brominated flame retardants in the global flame retardant market.
“WEAKNESS”
My Pokémon’s weakness is high reactivity and corrosiveness, with the corrosion symbol representing its corrosiveness and the bomb representing that bromine can be highly reactive, even without external triggers like heat or pressure.
2. AI IMAGE GENERATOR PROMPTS
It took me three prompt iterations to end up with my final image.
- generate an image of a pokemon style character that is related to what bromine is used for such as medicine or sanitizer or for flameproofing agent.
- generate an image of a pokemon style character and the image displays the character being a flame retardant
- generate an image of a creature called Bromguard in pokemon style with a metallic, reddish-brown body to reflect bromine’s color, with armor-like plates resembling shields. design includes misty or vaporous elements, representing bromine’s gaseous state. Also includes flames or charred marks on its design.
3. INFORMATION FLUENCY REFLECTION
ASK
The main questions I asked to drive my research were: “What is bromine used for?” and “What are the commercial uses for bromine?” These two questions led me to learn many interesting things about bromine such as its flame retardant and purification benefits. They were the leading questions to help me shape the information I had gathered into Pokémon abilities.
ACQUIRE
The main tool I used to do my research was Google. My Google searches would often lead me to Wikipedia, where I found the basic information about bromine such as its atomic mass and number.
ANALYZE
The primary method I used to verify the accuracy of the information was cross-referencing. I noted the details from one website and then compared them with 2-3 additional sources to ensure consistency. Regarding plagiarism, the task of presenting the information as though it were a Pokémon’s ability effectively required me to phrase everything in my own words.
ASSESS
I believe that my Pokémon card achieves Mr. Cornwall’s standard where the card must fool him for at least a moment if he were to pull the card from a pack. My card, including the element information, abilities, weaknesses, image, and visuals, is perfectly laid out to provide information about the element Bromine while also resembling an actual Pokémon card accurately.

1. ABILITY EXPLANATION
IMAGE
Platinumia is wearing metallic armour which represents platinum’s metallic resilience because armour is a symbol of strength and resilience and the armour is metallic, representing the metallic part in “metallic resilience.” She has jewel and crystal elements in her design to reflect platinum’s use for jewelry such as wedding rings. Her armour is also shiny and reflective, reflecting platinum’s shiny and reflective qualities.
“RADIANT SHIELD”
My Pokémon’s “Radiant Shield” ability is inspired by platinum’s reflective qualities. The number I associated with this ability is 60% because it represents platinum’s reflectivity in the visible spectrum, which is a measure of how much light it reflects.
“METALLIC RESILIENCE”
My Pokémon’s “Metallic Resilience” ability is based on how platinum is highly durable and corrosion-resistant. The number I associated with this ability is 1,768°C, which is platinum’s high melting point. This extreme heat tolerance contributes to its durability and ability to withstand harsh environments without degrading.
“WEAKNESS”
My Pokémon’s weakness is DNA alterations and cancer, because platinum is known to be able to cause DNA alterations as well as cancer.
2. AI IMAGE GENERATOR PROMPTS
It took me one prompt to end up with my final image.
- generate an image of a creature called Platinumia in pokemon style with a silver and shiny body to reflect platinum’s color, and with metallic armor. also add elements of jewels or crystals for platinum’s use in jewelry.
3. INFORMATION FLUENCY REFLECTION
ASK
The main questions I asked to drive my research were “What is platinum?” and “What is platinum used for?” These two questions helped me create my mystery card and led to me to discover essential information for the making of my mystery card including that platinum is used in jewelry and that platinum is a reflective liquid.
ACQUIRE
The main tool I used to do my research was Google. My Google searches would often lead me to Wikipedia, where I found the basic information about platinum such as its atomic mass and number.
ANALYZE
The main tool I used to verify the information I found during my research process was cross-referencing. I checked multiple websites and resources to ensure accuracy in any information I discovered before moving on. This assignment required information to be written as if it were a Pokémon ability, which ensured that I completed this assignment without plagiarism.
ASSESS
I believe that my Pokémon mystery card is well laid out, has interesting abilities and weaknesses that both relate to my element as well as a Pokémon character, and the image I generated looks convincing. Overall, I am proud of how it turned out and I think it would pass Mr. Cornwall’s standard where he must be fooled for at least a moment if he were to pull my card from a pack.
