Rocket’s Zapdos ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Zapdos ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Zapdos’s Poke-Body is called Darkness Guard and as long as Zapdos has any darkness energy cards attached to it, attacks on Zapdos are reduced by ten. Besides the Poke-Body, Zapdos has two moves, the first move is called Plasma which does 10 damage for one colorless energy card and allows you to search your discard pile for an electric energy card and attach it to Zapdos. Zapdos’s second move is called Raging Thunder which does 60 damage for three energy cards, two electric and one colorless, however this move does 30 damage to one of your Pokemon.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This card along with the Articuno and Moltres ex cards from this set have to be some of the coolest looking cards out of all the Pokemon cards out there. I love the artwork on these cards, I especially like how this card looks like it came right out of an N64 game. Other than the amazing artwork on this card, this card isn’t too great, I like the fact this card can do 60 damage but there is no way I would do 30 damage to one of my own Pokemon while doing this move so I think I would keep this card in my album not in any deck I would have. I do have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $15, on Professor-Oak it sells for $22 and $22.49 on PokeOrder.
