Emolga EX -- Pokemon X and Y Card Review

Emolga EX Pokemon X and Y Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Emolga EX from the X and Y Pokemon Card Set.  Emolga EX is a basic, EX, lightning type Pokemon card with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a free retreat cost.  Emolga does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Energy Glide.  This move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to search your deck for a lightning energy card, attach it to Emolga and then retreat Emolga to your bench.  Emolga's second move is called Electron Crush, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one lightning, and does 60 damage, if you choose to discard an energy card attached to Emolga, then this attack does 90 damage instead of 60.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Emolga 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, I would not recommend using this card in a deck.  The main reason I say this is because Emolga only has 110 hp which is very low and can cause it to get knocked out that much easier, and two prize cards is a big thing to give up.  If you do choose to use this card in a deck, don't use more than one, make sure you have three energy cards on Emolga EX  before moving it to the active Pokemon spot.  When in the active Pokemon spot, use Electron Crush the first turn, discarding an energy card, and then retreat Emolga the next turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very poor EX Pokemon card from the X and Y set and one that I would recommend staying away from.  Even though this card has a free retreat cost and two moves, I still don't like it.  Energy Glide is a useless move in my opinion, and even though Electron Crush can do a fair amount of damage, discarding an energy card to do above average damage seems like a lot to do for a stage 2 Pokemon yet this is an EX card.
