Shining Gyarados (EX Holon Phantoms)

Today's Pokemon Card Review is Shining Gyarados from the ex Holon Phantoms set.It's a Basic Fire Type with     80HP and 2 attacks. They are called Spiral Growth and All-Out Blast. Spiral Growth has a Base Damage of 20 and needs 1 Fire energy and 1 Colorless energy. Flip a coin and if it;s heads, search your discard-pile for a Basic energy card and attach it to Gyarados.That's pretty helpful since you need 4 Fire energies to play Gyarados' next attack called All-Out Blast. With a Base Damage of 50+, that's a big put-down considering you had to have at least 4 Fire energies attached to Gyarados but it's effect is pretty risky but powerful. So you basically discard ALL of the cards in your deck until you have only 1 card left but for each energy card you discarded, that's 20 more damage added to the 50+  Base Damage you already had. That's a pretty risky move but I recommend you to use this when your opponent only has 1 Pokemon left. Gyarados has a Weakness to Lightning Pokemon, no Resistance and a Retreat Cost of 2 Colorless energies, this card is pretty amazing and the artwork is pretty decent too.
The final rating of this card is 8.5.
