Lugia EX Full Art -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Lugia EX Full Art from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  Lugia is a basic, EX, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Lugia EX's Ability is called Overflow and says that if Lugia EX knocks out one of your opponent's Pokemon you get to take two prize cards instead of one.  Besides the Ability, Lugia EX Full Art just has one move called Plasma Gale, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 120 damage, however when using this move you must discard a Plasma Energy card attached to Lugia, otherwise if you don't do this Plasma Gale does nothing at all.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Lugia 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 Lugia EX is a colorless type Pokemon card this card can be added to any deck since it can use any type of energy cards to attack, however make sure to include 4 Plasma Energy cards in your deck so that you can actually use Plasma Gale, otherwise if you don't have any Plasma Energy cards attached to Lugia EX, it is extremely worthless.  Also, since you can only have 4 Plasma Energy cards in a deck, make sure to include trainers in your deck that not only allow you to pull energy cards from your deck but also to retrieve them from your discard pile and put them in your hand.  You're going to want to set up Lugia EX on the bench and put all four Plasma Energy cards you have in your deck on it.  That way, when you use Plasma Gale, you can attach any type of energy card after using the move.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average EX Pokemon card.  I really like this card's Ability allowing it to take two prize cards if it knocks out a defending Pokemon, however this card is extremely limited on how and when it can knock out the defending Pokemon, I think this card relies too heavily on Plasma Energy cards, so you can never use many of these in a deck and you can't put this card into the active Pokemon spot very quickly because it is slow to attack.
