Scyther ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Scyther ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Once again this card doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Agility which takes one grass energy card and does 10 damage plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, all effects of an attack on Scyther the next turn are prevented. Slash is Scyther's second move which does 50 damage for three energy cards, two grass and one colorless.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
If I remember correctly, I pulled three of these ex cards in the EX Ruby and Sapphire box I opened on YouTube. I do like Scyther as a Pokemon but this isn't one of my favorite cards, the artwork done by Ryo Ueda isn't anything special, the background is mostly silver which is quite bland and the drawing of Scyther doesn't make it look very menacing.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $9.18 and on PokeOrder it goes for $22.50. I have no idea why PokeOrder is charging such a high price for this card, it seems like this card is quite cheap on the other two sites I look.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
The other ex cards from this set are: Chansey, Hitmonchan, Lapras, Magmar, Mewtwo, Electabuzz, and Sneasel.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:

Mewtwo ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mewtwo ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Once again this card has two moves, not a Poke-Power or Poke-Body. Mewtwo's two moves are called Energy Absorption and Psyburn, Energy Absorption takes one psychic energy card and allows you to discard two energy cards from your discard pile to Mewtwo. Psyburn does 60 damage for three energy cards, two psychic and one colorless.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is definitely the best ex card I've reviewed so far, it looks quite cool and can do the most damage, quite quickly too. It actually does 60 damage for 3 energy cards which is standard today on a lot of current cards. I like the artwork on this card which was done by Katsura Tabata, the background is a dark purple but Mewtwo is holding a Psyball that is beaming with red all around it. I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $12.36 and on PokeOrder it goes for $19.99. As I figured this card sells for a bit more than the other ex cards in this set, since Mewtwo is a popular Pokemon and this card is a little stronger than the other ex cards.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
The other ex cards from this set are: Chansey, Hitmonchan, Lapras, Magmar, Electabuzz, Scyther, and Sneasel.

Magmar ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Magmar ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, fire type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. There is not a Poke-Power or Poke-Body on this card but there are two moves, the first move is called Smokescreen which does 10 damage for one fire energy card. After using this move, when your opponent tries to attack the next turn they have to flip a coin and if they get a tails the move does nothing. Magmar's second move is called Super Singe which takes three energy cards, two fire and one colorless energy card and does 40 damage plus burns the defending Pokemon.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
Magmar ex is probably one of the better cards I've reviewed in terms of attacking so far, I really like Super Singe on this card. Another thing I noted about this card and Electabuzz ex is that now these cards would never be produced because both Magmar and Electabuzz have stronger evolutions. The artwork on this card is quite similar to the Lapras card I reviewed yesterday since it has the same illustrator. This card has dark overtones with a dark red background which a dark Magmar blends right in to. I do have this ex card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $12.00 and on PokeOrder it goes for $11.99. So it sells a tad bit higher than the other ex cards I've reviewed so far from this set.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
The other ex cards from this set are: Chansey, Hitmonchan, Lapras, Electabuzz, Mewtwo, Scyther, and Sneasel.

Lapras ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Lapras ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Once again this card doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Energy Ball which takes one water energy card and does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each energy card attached to Lapras not including the one needed for this move. However you can't add more than 20 damage in this way. Lapras's other move is called Confuse Ray and for three energy cards, two water and one colorless, it does 30 damage and confuses the defending Pokemon.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is an ex card that I'm glad can't be used any more since both of its moves are so weak, the most this card can do is 30 damage and I don't think 30 damage is fair for a card that if knocked out counts for two prize cards. The artwork on this card is quite cool, I like how Lapras has a dark look to it with the whole holo pattern dark as well as Lapras. The Illustrator of this card was Hikaru Koike. I do have at least one of these cards in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $10.00 and on PokeOrder it goes for $15.00.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:

Hitmonchan ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Hitmonchan ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Just like the other two ex cards I've reviewed from this set, this card doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Steady Punch which does 10 damage plus 10 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin all for one fighting energy card. Hitmonchan's second move is called Sky Uppercut which does 50 damage for three energy cards, two fighting and one colorless. This move is not affected by resistance so it will always do at least 50 damage.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is an ex card that is quite weak to some of the newer cards made today, neither move can do much damage but that is why these cards can't be used in the current format. The Illustrator for this card is Hiromichi Sugiyama. I like the artwork on this card quite a bit, I like the gradient on the background of the holo, it goes back and forth between purple and yellow and since I'm a Vikings fan this card is definitely the right colors. I am quite sure I have this ex card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $5, on Professor-Oak it sells for $4.08 and on PokeOrder it goes for $7.50. This is the cheapest of the ex cards from the ex set I've reviewed so far.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:

Electabuzz ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Electabuzz ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, electric type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to metal type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Electabuzz doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Thundershock which does 10 damage for one electric energy card and you may flip a coin when using this move, if you get a heads the defending Pokemon is now paralyzed. Electabuzz's other move is called Quick Attack which takes three energy cards, two electric and one colorless and does 40 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is an ex card that surprises me it was made since Electabuzz isn't known as a strong Pokemon and it shows since this card has only 90 hp. I do like the artwork on this card a lot better than Chansey, the Illustrator of this card is Hikoru Koike. I like the dark holographic pattern on this card and how Electabuzz which is yellow really stands out against the black. If you could actually battle with this card neither move would be too great especially with such a low HP. I actually don't think I have this ex card.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $5, on Professor-Oak it sells for $8.50 and on PokeOrder it goes for $11.25.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
The other ex cards from this set are: Chansey, Hitmonchan, Lapras, Magmar, Mewtwo, Scyther, and Sneasel.

Chansey ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Since I've reviewed all the rare Pokemon cards from the newest sets I'm going to be taking a break from my normal Pokemon card reviews to review all the EX Pokemon cards made since the next expansion set will introduce or reintroduce the EX Pokemon cards to the TCG. Since none of the older EX Pokemon are playable in the current format I'll be talking about a few different things on each card, first I will give an overview of the card like I normally do, then I will say what I like about this card if I like it at all, and then I will report how much this card actually is worth, I will indicate what other EX Pokemon cards are in this set then I'll indicate the card I am going to review the next day. So I hope you like these new types of reviews (I'll be going back to my old style when a new set is released). I would really appreciate it if you would comment on this review to say you actually read it and then give your thoughts on the review.

So, today's Pokemon Card Review is of Chansey ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 120. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Chansey ex doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Healing Egg which takes two colorless energy cards and lets you remove 2 damage counters from each of your Pokemon, however you can't remove any damage counters from Chansey. Chansey's other move is called Double-edge which does 80 damage for three colorless energy cards, however Chansey does 60 damage to itself.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
So in this section of the review I will indicate if I like this card or not, if I have this card in my collection, what I think of its moves, and what I think about the artwork. I know these older ex cards aren't too great but compared to today's cards Double-edge is a pretty bad move considering if you use it twice it will knock Chansey out. The artwork on this card isn't anything too special, it was illustrated by Ryo Uedo, the Chansey is set against a plain background that doesn't do anything to increase the appeal of this card. I do have this ex card, but it isn't one of my favorites, I think I pulled this card out of the Ruby and Sapphire and box I opened on YouTube.

Pokemon Card Price:
In this section I will indicate the prices this card is selling for, the best place to find a price is to search completed listings on eBay. This card sells on eBay for around $5, on Professor-Oak it sells for $6.12 and on PokeOrder it goes for $11.25.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
The other ex cards from this set are: Electabuzz, Hitmonchan, Lapras, Magmar, Mewtwo, Scyther, and Sneasel.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Chansey ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Electabuzz ex from the same set.
