Flygon ex (EX Legend Maker)


Today's Pokemon Card Review is Flygon ex from the EX Legend Maker set. It has 150HP, a Stage 2 Colorless type and has pretty nice artwork. Flygon's Poke-Power, Emerge Charge, can allow Flygon to search your discard pile and attach 2 energies to Flygon which is pretty useful since Flygon's Dragon Claw attack takes up FIVE energies! Anyway to be more specific, you need 3 Colorless energies and 1 Grass and Lightning energy. The Base Damage of this attack is 100 which is pretty huge but for 5 energies......That's a lot. OK, screw that attack, it's gonna be a real pain attaching all those energies just for 1 attack. Next up is Reactive Blast for 1 Lightning energy and 1 Colorless energy. You can discard as much energies as you want from Flygon and for each of those energies you discarded, that's a +30 damage you can add to the 40+ Base Damage. Let's do the math OK? So with 5 energies attached to Flygon which could be used for Dragon Claw, which is instead going to be used for Reactive Blast. 40 Base damage, + 3 discarded energies= 130 damage! Take that Dragon Claw! Anyway with a Weakness to Colorless Pokemon, a Resistance of Lightning AND Fighting-30, and 2 Colorless energies for a Retreat Cost, this card is definitely a 9.00.
