What program did you use to make this? All I have right now is GIMP.

I used Illustrator, but it can be done fairly easily in GIMP as well. Just create a radial gradient (via Blend Tool) with the colors of your choice, starting at the center of the canvas and dragging to the outer edge, and crop it to a circle with the Ellipse Select Tool. Draw the curved highlight with the Paths Tool (using a white stroke) on a separate layer and apply a Gaussian Blur filter.

I did it.
Would you consider this a close attempt:

Looks pretty close to the orbs on some Energy Cards (namely the exEmerald holos). 940ee6dce6677fa01d25-0f55c9129β¦

Now, I need to put the symbol font on it. Do you know I can do that?

Custom symbols or official symbols?

First you'd probably have to remake the orb without the white highlight, draw/paste the symbol onto another layer, then make the white highlight on another layer above that.
For official symbols, feel free to use this font: icycatelf.deviantart.com/art/Pβ¦
If the symbol you're using has a white background, change the layer blending mode to Multiply.

Would it be alright if I could borrow this and the fairy symbol you put on PokΓ©beach please? I'd like to try out an experiment to see if I can create the perfect Fairy type orb.

Of course! These resources are made for using.

Thank you. I'll experiment with them right away, and post the results on here as soon as I'm done.

I hope it goes well. This is what I used when I made my previous (official) type orbs, so it shoul be okay. The trickiest part for me was making it darker/lighter without distorting the highlight/shadows, but Multiply, Burn, Hard Light, and Overlay helped a lot.
