Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Excadrill EX from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set. Excadrill EX is a basic, EX, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to lightning type Pokemon, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Excadrill EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves. The first move that this card has is called Dig Out, for two colorless energy cards this move does 40 damage to your opponent's active Pokemon and makes you discard the top card from your deck, if it is an energy card you may put that card onto one of your Pokemon. Excadrill's second move is called Break Ground, for four energy cards, two each of fighting and colorless, this move does 120 damage plus 10 damage to each of your opponent's benched Pokemon.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Excadrill 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, and seeing that the main move you'll want to use with this card is Break Ground which requires four energy cards to use, if you use this card in your deck, you'll only want to use one since it requires such a long time to set up. You should keep this card on your bench until you get four energy cards on it, then move it to the active Pokemon spot and use Break Ground every turn. This card will do well in a spread damage type deck since Break Ground also spreads damage around. You shouldn't want to use this card for Dig Out because not only is it just an average move especially for an EX card, but you will be forced to take a card from your deck and discard it if it isn't an energy card.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is an average to slightly above average EX card from the Legendary Treasures set. If you're building a spread damage type deck, this card could be a nice addition to that deck, but this card only gets an average rating from me because it is slow on the attack, costs quite a bit to retreat, and even though this card has two moves, only one of them is worthwhile. So this is a middle of the road EX card from the Legendary Treasures set and one that should really only be used in certain situations that I've outlined in this blog post.
