Toxicroak EX Full Art -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Toxicroak EX and Toxicroak EX Full Art from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Toxicroak EX is a basic, EX, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 170. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Toxicroak does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Triple Poison, for two colorless energy cards this move poisons your opponent's active Pokemon and makes them need to put 3 damage counters on between turns instead of 1.  Toxicroak's second move is called Smash Uppercut, this move requires three energy cards, two psychic and one colorless, and does 80 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Toxicroak 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 more than likely wouldn't not use this card in a deck because it isn't very over powering and I wouldn't want to risk giving up two prize cards if Toxicroak is knocked out.  However, you could definitely use this card in a psychic type deck because it can cause a lot of havoc by poisoning a Pokemon and making them have 30 damage between every turn and being able to do 80 damage a turn with Smash Uppercut, plus if you really get into trouble with Toxicroak you can retreat it for only 1 energy card.  So as far as EX cards go, this one is a little weaker, but it is still a solid card that I would definitely consider using if I were building a psychic type deck, or a deck that inflicts a lot of special conditions.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average EX Pokemon card from the Flashfire set.  This card isn't that impressive for an EX card, but it is solid overall.  It does have two moves that are both average moves for this type of card, it has a little below hp for an EX card, but it can retreat for only one energy card which makes up for the little lower hp that Toxicroak has.  So if you're building a psychic type deck, definitely consider using this card in your deck.
