Dinowrestler Pendulum Monster.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Dinowrestler Taekwonodon (Taekwondo + cionodon)
Level 3 | EARTH | Dinosaur | Pendulum | Effect
1500/0
Scale 0
PE: You can target 5 "Dinowrestler" cards in your GY; shuffle all 5 into the Deck, then draw 2 cards. You can only use the Pendulum Effect of "Dinowrestler Taekwonodon" once per turn.
ME: If your opponent controls more monsters than you do, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can only Special Summon "Dinowrestler Taekwonodon" once per turn this way.

1. Extra Deck Pendulum
2. "Endymion" monster
3. Pendulum Monster that can hard counter Flip monsters.

[Draconus297]

Librarian of Endymion
WATER - Level 3 - Spellcaster/Pendulum/Tuner/Effect - 1200/1200 - Scale 2
Pendulum Effect - Each time a Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card when that card resolves. You can remove 3 Spell Counters from this card: Special Summon this card from your Pendulum Zone and 1 Spellcaster Pendulum monster from your hand or Graveyard, and if you do, place 1 Spell Counter on each.
Monster Effect - You can only Special Summon "Librarian(s) of Endymion" once per turn. If this card is Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Spell Power Grasp" or "Spell Power Mastery" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. Each time a Normal Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated: Place 1 Spell Counter on this and 1 other card you control when that card resolves. If this card with a Spell Counter would leave the field, you can place it in your Pendulum Zone instead, then place the same number of Spell Counters on it that it had as a monster.

1) Pair this with their "adult form". Servant and Reflection both serve to be defensive combo girls, Magister and Mighty Master are the offensive ones.
2) Create another card with Timebreaker's interesting "if this card is Pendulum Summoned alone" restriction.
3) Give Pendulum Decks a combo extender that recuperates resources in some way.

[The Nepfessor]

Starbreaker Magician
Level 5 Scale 7 LIGHT Spellcaster/Effect
2400/0
If this card is placed in the Pendulum Zone: You can target 1 card in your other Pendulum Zone; Special Summon that target. You can only use this effect of "Starbreaker Magician" once per turn.
----
When this card is Pendulum Summoned from the hand (and no other cards are Pendulum Summoned at the same time): You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; halve its ATK until the end of this turn.

Make a Pendulum Monster for an Arc-V anime-oriented deck that doesn't have one.

[Draconus297]

Rondo the Melodious Diva
LIGHT - Level 4 - Fairy/Pendulum/Effect - 1400/1800 - Scale 2
Pendulum Effect - Special Summoned "Melodious" monsters you control gain 100 ATK and DEF for each of your opponent's banished cards. If a card(s) with an effect that requires you to control no monsters mentions "Melodious" in its card text, that card can still be activated if you control only "Melodious" monsters. Once per turn, if a "Melodious" monster is Special Summoned: You can banish 1 card from your opponent's Graveyard, and if you do, draw 1 card.
Monster Effect - If this card is Special Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Melodious" monster from your hand or Graveyard. If you take damage (by battle or your opponent's effect) while you control this Special Summoned card: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half that damage you took. If this card in a Monster Zone would leave the field: You can place it in your Pendulum Zone, instead.

In much the same vein as this thing, create a Pendulum that solves an unfortunate issue in an existing archetype's support (Gusto with "When", Venom with their Counters being slow to spread, Resonators with running out of non-Tuners, etc.)

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I'm probably going to make Majespecter support here b/c obvious Pendulum stuff already (and because I want to play them, sans waiting for ToyLynx to get more copies of the support stuff)

Majespecter Reindeer - Mikazuchi
Level 7 | WIND | Spellcaster | Pendulum | Effect
2500/2000
Scale 5
PE: You can shuffle 3 "Majespecter" monsters from your GY and/or face-up Extra Deck into the Deck, then draw 1 card. If you control another "Majespecter" card: You can Special Summon this card from your Pendulum Zone. You can only use each Pendulum Effect of "Majespecter Reindeer - Mikazuchi" once per turn.

ME: If you control another "Majespecter" monster, except "Majespecter Reindeer - Mikazuchi", you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can only Special Summon "Majespecter Reindeer - Mikazuchi" once per turn this way. Cannot be targeted or destroyed by an opponent's card effects. You can banish cards your opponent controls, up to the number of of "Majespecter" monsters you control with different names. You can only use this effect of "Majespecter Reindeer - Mikazuchi" once per turn.

====
We all know Kirin's banned and Majespecter suffers from being Pendulums and having low stats / getting run over by big bodies.

So yeah, another big boss to help provide field presence and get rid of shit that Tornado/Cyclone, etc cannot. Also recycles your stuff if needed. Yes, it does require that you actually HAVE a 'specter out, but that's about it. Also it's Level 7 so you can least use the Dragonpit/Dragonvein Magician engine if needed. Otherwise, this Summons itself from the P-Zone.

(Not that I didn't already make another Main Deck 'specter that spits this out for free. See Katsuyu.)

Oh yeah, and naming comes from Amanokagu no Mikazuchi (Gizmek), since apparently this one is also patron deer deity. Suppose it works, outside of Mikazuchi being a standard deer instead of the reindeer one here. Also note that I can just rip off one of my Flyer models for designing if needed.

Make a Ritual Pend

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Time to open can of worms and make something I have never done before.

Ruka the Eon Flash Blossom Reindeer
Level 7 | LIGHT | Beast-Warrior | Ritual | Pendulum | Effect
2500/2500
Scale 8
PE: Your "Flash Blossom Reindeer" monsters cannot be targeted or destroyed by an opponent's card effects, also they cannot be destroyed by battle. If you control a "Flash Blossom Reindeer" monster: You can Special Summon this card from your Pendulum Zone. You can only use this Pendulum Effect of "Ruka the Eon Flash Blossom Reindeer" once per turn.

ME: You can Ritual Summon this card with "Advent of the Flash Blossom Reindeer". Cannot be targeted or destroyed by an opponent's card effects. If your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can negate the activation, and if you do, shuffle it into the Deck. You can only use this effect of "Ruka the Eon Flash Blossom Reindeer" once per turn. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed: You can place it in your Pendulum Zone.

Advent of the Flash Blossom Reindeer
Quick-Play Spell
This card is used to Ritual Summon any "Flash Blossom Reindeer" Ritual Monster from your hand or GY. You must also Tribute "Flash Blossom Reindeer" monsters from your hand or field, and/or send "Flash Blossom Reindeer" monsters from your Deck or Extra Deck to the GY. whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster. During your Standby Phase, if this card is in your GY: You can add it to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Advent of the Flash Blossom Reindeer" per turn.

=====
Think of Ruka as a secondary boss monster in case either me or Rudolph can't get out onto the field. I probably will make a Level 6 Ritual too.

In some way, this kinda is another version of me since I also use the name Ruka in some shape/form on other sites (see Fandom); also name of my first Latias. And yeah, part of this card's effect is derived from the Psychic Dragon Synchro. So it's like my Eon, but not really at the same time.

The more you know.

===================
Make a Pendulum that enables you to hand/Deck verify the opponent.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Clairvoyant Wyvern
Level 8 | LIGHT | Wyrm | Pendulum | Effect
2800/2100
Scale 4
PE: Your opponent must play with their hand revealed, also they cannot Set any cards. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was placed in your Pendulum Zone: You can pay 800 LP; Special Summon this card from your Pendulum Zone.

ME: You can send 1 face-up Pendulum Monster in your Extra Deck to the GY; Special Summon this card from your hand. You can activate 1 of these effects.
- Declare 1 card name; your opponent reveals their hand and shows their Deck to you, and if that card is in your opponent's hand, they must banish all copies of it, face-down.
- Pay 2000 LP and declare 1 card name; your opponent shows their Deck to you, and if that card is in your opponent's Deck, they must banish all copies of it, face-down.
You can only use each effect of "Clairvoyant Wyvern" once per turn.

====
Well, you can kiss Mind Crush good-bye since this one is better and ensures the opponent can't bullshit their way out of it (unless they use Impermanence). And yes, I wrote that prompt because people were pissed at the Konami judge who made this ruling that you can't verify or call judge to confirm.

Whoever they are, shame on you for promoting cheating.

Anyway...

Make a Pendulum Monster that can move itself to the Main Monster Zone (or help move others there)

[Draconus297]

Swap-Style Sorceror
WIND - Level 5 - Spellcaster/Pendulum/Effect - 1000/2600 - Scale 8
Pendulum Effect - During the Main Phase, you can target 1 face-up monster each player controls (Quick Effect): Control of both targets is switched.

You can only activate each Pendulum Effect of "Swap-Style Sorceror" once per turn.

If this card on the field destroys your opponent's monster by battle: You can Special Summon 1 monster that is face-up in your Pendulum Zone, and if you do, place this card in the Pendulum Zone that card occupied.

1) Give Swap-Style a buddy for the other Scale.
2) Create something that duplicates a support/utility set in Pokémon (reducing stats through burns, locking things in place with paralysis, making it difficult for your opponent to field things with hazards, or anything else run as pure support.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

(inb4 I go reboot my old Pokemon Card Set series again, but probably not...)

Sunstar of Thorns
Level 4 | WATER | Aqua | Pendulum | Effect
500/2100
Scale 3
PE: Once per turn, if a monster you control is targeted by an opponent's monster for an attack or card effect: You can negate that attack or card effect, then place 1 Poison Counter on that monster. During each End Phase: Your opponent loses 500 LP for each Poison Counter on monsters they control.

ME: You can activate this effect; this turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle. You can only use this effect of "Sunstar of Thorns" once per turn.

This is an implicit reference to Toxapex, which is apparently still very annoying.

1. Ritual or ED Pendulum (you can also do Link Pends, but make sure you include something for them to bypass the no Levels thing)
2. "Hieratic" Pendulum Monster (you can do a pair if desired; also thank Slacker for this)
3. Deals with counters

[Draconus297]

Colossal Tortoise
EARTH - Level 7 - Reptile/Pendulum/Effect - 200/2700 - Scale 2
Pendulum Effect - If your opponent Summons a monster(s), place 1 Moss Counter on this card for each monster they currently control. If a monster your opponent controls is destroyed by battle, place 1 Moss Counter on this card.

If this card in the Pendulum Zone would be destroyed by your opponent's card: You can move this card to an unoccupied Monster Zone, without removing any Moss Counters.
Monster Effect - This card is unaffected by your opponent's Spell/Trap effects, and the effects of monsters with less ATK than this card. If this card battles: Place 1 Moss Counter on this card before damage calculation. This card gains 300 ATK for each Moss Counter on it. At the start of the Battle Phase, you can remove 1 Moss Counter from this card (Quick Effect): Apply the appropriate effect depending on whose turn it is:
●Yours: This card can attack all monsters your opponent controls, once each.
●Your opponent's: All monsters your opponent controls are changed to Attack Position, and must attack this card.

1) Create a Pendulum for an anime archetype of your choice, that would have allowed the character playing it to win a Duel that they lost.
2) Create a Pendulum that blocks Evenly Matched in some way.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Shirokenmaru, Blade of the Celestial
Rank 7 | LIGHT | Beast | Xyz | Pendulum| Effect

ME: 2 Level 7 Beast monsters
Once per turn, you can also Xyz Summon "Shirokenmaru, Blade of the Celestial" by using a Beast monster you control with 2500 or more original ATK as material. (If you use an Xyz Monster as material, transfer its materials to this card.) If you can Pendulum Summon Level 7, you can Pendulum Summon this face-up card in your Extra Deck. While this card has material, your opponent cannot activate card effects from their hand. Once per turn: You can detach 1 material from this card; banish 1 card your opponent controls or from their GY, face-down. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed: You can place it in your Pendulum Zone.

====
This doesn't really stop the opponent from setting Evenly Matched, but most of the time, Evenly gets played during 2nd turns, pass and activate. For whatever it's worth, also stops Impermanence.
====

1. Ritual or ED Pendulum (you can also do Link Pends, but make sure you include something for them to bypass the no Levels thing)
2. "Hieratic" Pendulum Monster (you can do a pair if desired; also thank Slacker for this)
3. Anti-Performapal (or Performage) card; basically, just make a Pend that screws over Yuya and PePe decks.

[Draconus297]

Borrelash Dragon
DARK - Link-4 - Dragon/Link/Pendulum/Effect - 3000 - Scale 8 - TL/L/R/BR

Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this effect or its activation.

It's a whip!

1) Create a Pendulum for an anime archetype of your choice, that would have allowed the character playing it to win a Duel that they lost.
2) Create a Pendulum with an effect that at least partially circumvents the need for Linked Zones.

----
During your opponent's turn, if you control a face-up "D/D/D" monster (Quick Effect): You can banish this card from your Extra Deck, face-up; negate the next attack this turn from a monster your opponent controls.

Duel in point is Reiji vs. Zarc (if that counts, as he was the last of the characters to intervene in that humongous duel).

N/C: Options time:

1) Gradius-themed Pendulum Monster
2) D/D Savant Pierre and D/D Savant Marie (Pierre and Marie Curie; you have to make both)
3) Pendulum Monster that is neither Ritual or ED, but puts it in the Pendulum Zone once destroyed in the Monster Zone.
