Audino EX -- Fates Collide Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Audino EX and Audino EX Full Art from the Fates Collide Pokemon Card Set.  Audino EX is a basic, EX, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Audino EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Drain Slap, for one colorless energy card this move does 20 damage, plus heals 20 damage from Audino EX.  Do the Wave is Audino EX's second move and for three colorless energy cards this move does 60 damage plus 10 more damage for each of your benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Audino 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, Audino 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 Audino EX does not have an evolution.  So knowing this, on its own, this card would work well in the beginning of a game since it can do at least 110 damage a turn with a full bench, thus making this a very powerful move.  Later in the game this card won't be that effective, since doing 60 damage for three energy cards is pretty standard for even non Pokemon EX cards.  So if you're building a deck and want to use this card, use only one of these at the most, try and get it into the active Pokemon spot early, while you have a full bench, and use Do the Wave every turn.  Of course if you can knock out the defending Pokemon with only 20 damage, definitely use that move that way you can heal Audino EX too.

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 Fates Collide set.  This card doesn't have anything too great about it, but not too many negatives either.  This card's retreat cost is a bit high, but it is a solid starter type Pokemon, since it is able to attack for only one energy card and can do more damage the more Pokemon you have on your bench.  So overall, this card can definitely help a deck, but it is not required in great decks out there.
