Aggron EX -- Primal Clash Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Aggron EX and Aggron EX Full Art from the Primal Clash Pokemon Card Set.  Aggron EX is a basic, EX, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost.  Aggron EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Steel Headbutt, for three energy cards, two colorless and one metal, this move does 50 damage plus 30 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Aggron's second move is called Raging Hammer, this move requires four energy cards to use, two each of colorless and metal, and does 60 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Aggron, so a maximum damage of 230 damage a turn, which will knock out every Pokemon out there in one move.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Aggron 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.  However, Aggron does have a mega evolution you could use from this set and I will be reviewing that card tomorrow, so this strategy below will act like Aggron EX does not have an evolution.  So knowing this, on its own, I would definitely not include more than one of this card in a deck because it is so slow on the attack and has such a high retreat cost.  Ideally, this would be a card that is set up on the bench, and then another card in your deck may have a very powerful move that does damage to your own Pokemon, that way Aggron could get 50 or 60 damage on it, and when in the active Pokemon spot could do well above 60 damage a turn with Raging Hammer.  If you don't want to use a risky strategy like this, doing damage to your own Pokemon, I would recommend against using Aggron EX, neither move's base damage is that great, especially for an EX card.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this card is a little below average for an EX Pokemon card, thus the 2 out of 5 rating.  This card does have a good HP and two moves that have the potential to do great damage, but this card is too slow for my liking and has too high of a retreat cost.  To me, the benefits don't outweigh the costs, thus making me not recommend using this card in a deck.
