Heatran EX Full Art -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Heatran EX Full Art from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Heatran is a basic, EX, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Heatran EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Heat Boiler, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one fire and does 60 damage, unless Heatran is affected by a special condition, then this move does 120 damage instead.  Heatran's second move is called Dynamite Press, this move requires four energy cards, two each of colorless and fire, and does 80 damage plus does 10 more damage for each damage counter on the defending Pokemon if you have a Plasma Energy card attached to Heatran EX.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Heatran EX is a basic Pokemon card you won't need to use any other cards with this card.  But remember, because this card is an EX card, if this card is knocked out, two prize cards are taken instead of one.  Because Heatran EX's fastest move requires three energy cards, I would suggest keeping this card on the bench until it has at least three energy cards on it.  When you move it to the active Pokemon spot you'll want to use Dynamite Press whenever you can.  I actually may not use this EX card in a deck because it is so slow and neither of its moves are anything too special.  So if I were to use this card in a deck, I definitely wouldn't use more than 1, but I probably wouldn't use even 1 in a fire type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average EX Pokemon card.  Surprisingly I don't like this EX card much at all, besides the artwork.  This card is not powerful enough in my opinion to merit an EX annotation.  So of the EX cards I've reviewed in the recent sets, this is definitely one of the worst ones out there.  It has too high of a retreat cost, too high of energy costs for its moves, and the moves just aren't that good.
