Rocket’s Zapdos ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Zapdos ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Zapdos’s Poke-Body is called Darkness Guard and as long as Zapdos has any darkness energy cards attached to it, attacks on Zapdos are reduced by ten. Besides the Poke-Body, Zapdos has two moves, the first move is called Plasma which does 10 damage for one colorless energy card and allows you to search your discard pile for an electric energy card and attach it to Zapdos. Zapdos’s second move is called Raging Thunder which does 60 damage for three energy cards, two electric and one colorless, however this move does 30 damage to one of your Pokemon.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This card along with the Articuno and Moltres ex cards from this set have to be some of the coolest looking cards out of all the Pokemon cards out there. I love the artwork on these cards, I especially like how this card looks like it came right out of an N64 game. Other than the amazing artwork on this card, this card isn’t too great, I like the fact this card can do 60 damage but there is no way I would do 30 damage to one of my own Pokemon while doing this move so I think I would keep this card in my album not in any deck I would have. I do have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $15, on Professor-Oak it sells for $22 and $22.49 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Suicune ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Suicune ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Suicune’s Poke-Body is called Dark and Clear and says that as long as Suicune has a darkness energy card attached to it, Suicune can’t be affected by special conditions. Besides the Poke-Body, Suicune has two moves, the first move is called Icy Wind which does 10 damage and puts the defending Pokemon asleep for one colorless energy card. Suicune’s second move is called Hyper Splash which does 50 damage for three energy cards, two water and one colorless, plus this move does 40 more damage if you are attacking a stage 2 evolved Pokemon.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
Contrasting yesterday’s Snorlax ex card review, I like this card very much. I like how it can do major damage against evolved Pokemon, doing 90 damage a turn for only three energy cards is amazing, especially since this card is older and older cards are usually weaker. I would consider putting a darkness energy card on Suicune but it won’t matter much if your opponent doesn’t inflict special conditions. This card’s artwork reminds me of Scizor ex and the icicles in the background of the card, it looks very cool…and cold. I know for sure that I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $20, on Professor-Oak it sells for $25 and $59.99 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Snorlax ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Snorlax ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Snorlax’s Poke-Body is called Dark Healer which says as long as Snorlax has a darkness energy card attached to it, you may remove one damage counter between turns. Besides the Poke-Body, Snorlax has two moves, the first move is called Poison Claws which does 20 damage for 2 colorless energy cards and if you get a heads when you flip a coin the defending Pokemon is poisoned. Snorlax’s second move is called Collapse and does 60 damage for four colorless energy cards, after doing the damage Snorlax is asleep.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
As much as I like Snorlax, I am somewhat disappointed with this card. For one, it doesn’t have enough hp to be able to last long enough to do some damage, its Poke-Body helps but not enough. And four energy cards to do 60 damage seems like a waste of energy, besides the fact Snorlax goes to sleep after the move, so I would stay away from this Snorlax card if I were you. It is colorless though so it does fit in any deck but I wouldn’t put it in any unlimited format deck if I were you. I am also disappointed in the artwork of this card, it isn’t anything special and Snorlax looks like one giant slob. I have this ex card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $12, on Professor-Oak it sells for $26.25 and $22.49 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Sneasel ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Sneasel ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to psychic type Pokemon and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Sneasel doesn’t have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Drag Off which takes one darkness energy card and does 10 damage before attacking you may choose to have your opponent switch their active Pokemon and then do 10 damage to that new Pokemon instead. Sneasel’s second move is called Dark Ring which takes three energy cards, two darkness and one colorless, and does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each dark Pokemon you have in play.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This card is another weaker ex card from this set. However this is the first ex card I’ve reviewed from this set that is actual a dark type card that requires dark type energy to attack. Since this card is a dark type card you’ll want to use this card in a dark type deck thus you should wait until you have a good number of dark Pokemon in play before you use Sneasel ex so you can do more than 30 damage with Dark Ring. The artwork on this card is okay, I like how the background coloring makes it look like Sneasel is falling down through the air, but other than the motion aspect of the artwork I don’t really like this card. I do have this ex card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $8, on Professor-Oak it sells for $15 and $14.99 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Scyther ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Scyther ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark 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. Scyther’s Poke-Body is called Dual Armor and is quite similar to Scizor’s Poke-Body from yesterday, it says that if Scyther has any grass energy cards attached to it, Scyther is both grass and darkness types. Besides the Poke-Body, Scyther has two moves, the first move is called Bounce which does 10 damage for one colorless energy cards and allows you to switch Scyther with one of your benched Pokemon, if you choose. Scyther’s second move is called Slashing Strike which takes three colorless energy cards and does 40 damage, however you can’t use this move two turns in a row.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
You can definitely tell this is a basic ex Pokemon card that evolves into another ex card because this card sure is weak. There is no way I would put this card out there right away with no energy cards attached to it because it only has 80 hp and has a shot of getting knocked out in a move or two. I do like the fact that both of Scyther’s moves require colorless energy cards so you can put it in any type deck but you’ll want to attach a grass energy card to it to be able to use its Poke-Body. The artwork on this card is okay, I like the silver background color but I don’t like how Scyther is positioned in the picture way to the side of it. I believe I pulled three of these from the EX Team Rocket Returns box I opened on YouTube, so yes I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $10, on Professor-Oak it sells for $24.32 and $22.49 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Scizor ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Scizor ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a stage 1, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 120. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to grass type Pokemon and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Scizor’s Poke-Body is called Dual Armor and says that as long as Scizor has any metal energy cards attached to it is both metal and darkness type. Besides the Poke-Body, Scizor has just one move called Rotating Claws and for three colorless energy cards does 50 damage. Also you may discard an energy card attached to Scizor ex and search your discard pile for a different energy card and attach it to Scizor.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is the first stage 1 ex card that I’ve reviewed from this set and it is a bit better than the basic ones I’ve been reviewing. First off I’d like to point out the importance of having this card be two types, that way you can be twice as strong against double the amount of Pokemon, so I would use Rotating Claws and discard a grass energy card attached to Scizor and switch it with a metal energy card if I could. I’ll be reviewing Scyther ex tomorrow so you’ll know why you’d have a grass energy card attached to this card tomorrow. Other than getting the necessary energy types on Scizor you’ll just want to use Rotating Claws every turn you can. I like the artwork on this card but not as much as some others from this set, Scizor is drawn at a weird angle but I like the icicle type background colors making Scizor look extremely tough for being in a frozen cave or something like that. I do have this ex card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $13, on Professor-Oak it sells for $15 and $37.49 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Moltres ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Moltres ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Moltres’s Poke-Body is called Dark Lift and it says that if Moltres has any darkness energy cards attached to it, the retreat cost of Moltres is free. Besides the Poke-Body, Moltres has two moves, the first move is called Fire Dance and for two energy cards, one fire and one colorless, it does 30 damage and allows you to search your discard pile for a fire energy card and attach it to one of your Pokemon. Moltres’s second move is called Combustion which does 50 damage for three energy cards, two fire and one colorless.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is one of the weaker ex cards I’ve reviewed from this set so far, it can’t do much for damage, but this is one time I would definitely consider attaching a darkness energy card to Moltres so you could retreat it at will, I would just keep this card on my bench and have two energy cards attached to it, one fire and one darkness, and then if one of my Pokemon gets knocked out, put Moltres in, use Fire Dance once, attach an energy card with this move to one of my benched Pokemon, and the next turn retreat Moltres for one of my benched Pokemon. Once again I like the artwork of this card, I like how sizzling Moltres looks and the red and yellow colors of the red-hot flames coming off of Moltres. The background colors of green, yellow, and black make Moltres look even more magnificent and makes the card that much cooler. Unfortunately I don’t have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $15, on Professor-Oak it sells for $15 and $26.24 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Mewtwo ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Mewtwo ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Mewtwo doesn’t have a Poke-Body or Poke-Power but it does have three moves, the first move is called Darkness Switch which takes one psychic energy card and says that you must discard an energy card when using this move, once you discard the energy card you may switch all the damage counters on Mewtwo with the defending Pokemon. Mewtwo’s second move is called Hypnoblast which takes three energy cards, one psychic and two colorless, and does 40 damage and if you get a heads when you flip a coin the defending Pokemon is asleep. Mewtwo’s third move is called Psyburn and for four energy cards, three colorless and one psychic does 70 damage.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is the first ex card from this set that doesn’t have a one colorless energy card retreat cost, but it is also the first card from this set to have three moves. All three moves Mewtwo has are pretty good but the card is a little slow at first unless you have a ton of damage on Mewtwo and want to use Darkness Switch to remove the energy from Metwo, but if you do use this move you have to discard an energy card which will make Mewtwo slower yet. I do like that this card requires mostly colorless energy cards so you can mix this card easily into any deck and once you get four energy cards on Mewtwo it can consistently do 70 damage every turn. The only bad thing about this card is that it has a fairly low hp for being slow and if this card gets knocked out the opponent will get to take two prize cards instead of one. This is another amazing looking ex card in my opinion. I really like the colors and the swirls of the background of the picture and this card would have definitely been in my top 10 favorite ex card video if I had it in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $30, on Professor-Oak it sells for $30.64 and is $64.99 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Hitmonchan ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Hitmonchan ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Hitmonchan’s Poke-Body is called Strike Back and says that any time Hitmonchan is attacked put 2 damage counters on that attacking Pokemon. Besides the Poke-Body, Hitmonchan has two moves, the first move is called Mach Punch and does 10 damage to one of your opponent’s Pokemon for one fighting energy card. Hitmonchan’s second move is called Magnum Punch which does 60 damage for the standard three energy cards, two fighting and one colorless.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:

Once again this card is quite similar to the previous ex cards from this set with the 100 hp, same retreat cost, and same move set, 2 moves and one Poke-Body. This card really is a fighting type Pokemon card since it only requires fighting energy cards and unlike the last two ex cards from this set, Hitmonchan’s Poke-Body can be used regardless if you have a darkness energy card attached to it or not. I like how Hitmonchan can be thrown out there right away with little or no energy attached to it and still be able to do at least 20 damage every turn because of its Poke-Body. And if you use Magnum Punch a few times you should knock out at least one Pokemon every time you play this card during a game. This card has great artwork and I love how the moon is reflected in the background of the picture, it reminds me of the Umbreon Holo I have from the Neo Discovery set. I do have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $8, on Professor-Oak it sells for $15.30 and $44.99 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Entei ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Entei ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Articuno’s Poke-Body is called Dark Condition and says that as long as Entei has a darkness energy card attached to it, Entei has no weaknesses. Besides the Poke-Body, Articuno has two moves, the first move is called Energy Link which does 10 damage for one colorless energy card and allows you to search your discard pile for an energy card and attach it to Entei. Entei’s second move is called Volcanic Ash and for three energy cards, one colorless and two fire, it does 60 damage to one of your opponent’s Pokemon that you choose. However before you can use this move you must discard two energy cards attached to Entei.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
Overall, this card is pretty similar to the Articuno ex card I reviewed yesterday, both its Poke-Body and first moves are quite similar and this card is also a dark type card but doesn’t require any darkness type energy cards to attack. This is the way all the ex cards from this set will operate. Strategy-wise, if you were to use this card you’d want to put it in a fire type deck and try to have spread damage type cards in the deck so you could put Entei in and use Volcanic Ash and hopefully knock out one of your opponent’s benched Pokemon that has some previous damage on it. I have this card in my collection, I have two or three of these to be exact. I like the artwork on this card but not as much as others from this set.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $20, on Professor-Oak it sells for $25 and $34.99 on PokeOrder.

Rocket’s Articuno ex – EX Team Rocket Returns Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Rocket’s Articuno ex from the EX Team Rocket Returns set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Articuno’s Poke-Body is called Darkness Veil and says that as long as Articuno has a darkness energy card attached to it, all effects of an attack on Articuno are prevented besides damage. Besides the Poke-Body, Articuno has two moves, the first move is called Freeze Solid which does 10 damage for one colorless energy card, and when you use this move you can search your discard pile for one water energy card and attach it to Articuno. Articuno’s second move is called Ice Wing which does 50 damage for three energy cards, two water and one colorless.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
I really like all the artwork on the ex cards from this set. I like the dark tones and how menacing all of the Pokemon look in their pictures. One thing you’ll have to be aware of if you are trying to use this card is that even though it is dark type, it doesn’t require any darkness energy cards to attack unless you want to attach one to use its Poke-Body. I do have this card in my collection but I like these cards so much it makes me want to go out and buy another ex Team Rocket Returns booster box. Move-wise, this card isn’t the greatest, neither of its moves can do much but at least the card is somewhat quick if you use Freeze Solid first you will be able to use Ice Wing in two turns instead of three.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $16, on Professor-Oak it sells for $27.56 and $24.99 on PokeOrder.
