Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Excadrill EX from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set. Excadrill EX is a basic, EX, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to lightning type Pokemon, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Excadrill EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves. The first move that this card has is called Dig Out, for two colorless energy cards this move does 40 damage to your opponent's active Pokemon and makes you discard the top card from your deck, if it is an energy card you may put that card onto one of your Pokemon. Excadrill's second move is called Break Ground, for four energy cards, two each of fighting and colorless, this move does 120 damage plus 10 damage to each of your opponent's benched Pokemon.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Excadrill 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. So knowing this, and seeing that the main move you'll want to use with this card is Break Ground which requires four energy cards to use, if you use this card in your deck, you'll only want to use one since it requires such a long time to set up. You should keep this card on your bench until you get four energy cards on it, then move it to the active Pokemon spot and use Break Ground every turn. This card will do well in a spread damage type deck since Break Ground also spreads damage around. You shouldn't want to use this card for Dig Out because not only is it just an average move especially for an EX card, but you will be forced to take a card from your deck and discard it if it isn't an energy card.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is an average to slightly above average EX card from the Legendary Treasures set. If you're building a spread damage type deck, this card could be a nice addition to that deck, but this card only gets an average rating from me because it is slow on the attack, costs quite a bit to retreat, and even though this card has two moves, only one of them is worthwhile. So this is a middle of the road EX card from the Legendary Treasures set and one that should really only be used in certain situations that I've outlined in this blog post.

There are 4 EXs in RC: Mew EX Full Art, Shaymin EX Full Art, Meloetta EX Full Art and Meloetta EX.
One other thing I'd like to bring to your notice is that Break Ground does not damage the opponent's benched Pokemon, it deals 10 damage to each of your own benched Pokemon. This actually makes that attack much worse, meaning I won't use it unless in specific situations like when I want my benched Pokemon to take damage (in an Outrage like deck), or have a way to heal all the damage (like Serperior's Royal Heal or Champions Festival), or prevent it altogether with Mr Mime, but it's still not that great for a 4 card attack cost. Break Ground would have been a pretty good attack if it damaged the opponent's bench, but it actually helps your opponent spread damage, making it an inferior choice. Dig Out on the other hand could in some cases be used with the item Pokedex or the ability of Lunatone to help energy acceleration which can be kind of nice early game, though it is very unreliable if not aided in such a way and 40 is not too much damage for an EX. So my rating for the card would remain similar, it's about average to slightly below average as it requires to be only used in specific situations in certain combos, but if used in such situations, it could be well above average.
I hope you don't mind me giving such a feedback of your reviews once in a while. Just trying to help. ^_^
