Salamence (Stormfront)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Salamence from the Stormfront set. It has 140HP, a Colourless type Pokemon, and a Stage 2. Salamence has 2 attacks called Combustion and Steam Twister and 1 Poke-Body entitled Battle Rush. Battle Rush is actually pretty useful since if your opponent has any Pokemon in play including Benched Pokemon that has 120HP or over, any of Salamence's attacks that need 1 Colourless energy or more to play it, you can ignore them and pay the other energies to play the attack. Combustion which is Salamence's first attack need's 1 Fire energy and 1 Colourless energy to play it for a whopping 50 damage! But if your opponent has any Pokemon in play with 120HP or more, you just have to pay 1 Fire energy! Anyway, Salamence's other attack entitled Steam Twister, needs 1 Fire energy, 1 Water energy, and 2 Colourless energy to play it and deal 120 damage! As I explained above, if your opponent has a Pokemon in play with120HP or over, you can skip the crap and forget about those pesky Colourless energies! It does have a catch though. After you play Steam Twister, you have to discard 1 Fire and Water energy. With a Weakness of Colourless+30, a Resistance of Fighting-20, and a Retreat cost of 3 Colourless energies, this Pokemon Card deserves Pokemon Card of the Day and a 9 out of 10.
