Genesect EX -- Fates Collide Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Genesect EX and Genesect EX Full Art from the Fates Collide Pokemon Card Set.  Genesect 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 two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Genesect EX's Ability is called Drive Change and says that once per turn, before you attack, you may move a Pokemon Tool card attached to Genesect back into your hand.  Besides the Ability, Genesect has one move called Rapid Blaster, for three metal energy cards this move does 100 damage plus 20 more damage for each metal energy card you discard from Genesect.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Genesect 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 about Genesect EX, this card is pretty straightforward strategy wise, it is really just an attacker, doing 100 damage per turn.  So you could include one of these in a metal type deck, put three energy cards on it on the bench and then use Rapid Blaster every turn when in the active Pokemon spot.  I do like Genesect's Ability, it can help save Tool cards from going to the discard pile if Genesect is supposed to be knocked out, lets you change Tool cards on Genesect often, and allows you to use the same Tool card on more than one Pokemon.

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.  There really isn't anything to complain about on this card.  It is slow on the attack, but having only one move will let this happen.  The one move that Genesect has is very powerful and does above average damage, add in a solid Ability and this card is one to look at when building a metal type deck.

Genesect EX Full Art -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Genesect EX Full Art from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Genesect is a basic, EX, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 170. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Genesect EX's Ability is called Red Signal, this allows you to switch your opponent's active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon each time you attach a Plasma Energy card to Genesect EX.  Besides the Ability, Genesect has one move called Megalo Cannon, this move requires three energy cards, two grass and one colorless, and does 100 damage, plus 20 damage to one of your opponent's Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Genesect 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, you'll definitely want to use this EX card in your grass type deck.  The reason I say this is because this card is absolutely amazing.  Strategy wise, you'll want to make sure and have four Plasma Energy cards in your deck and a trainer card or two so you can get those energy cards into your hand.  Once you have those energy cards in your hand, move Genesect EX to the bench, make sure your active Pokemon can attack and do at least 60 damage, then each turn attach one Plasma Energy card to Genesect, move your opponent's weakest Pokemon into play and attack it with your active Pokemon hopefully knocking that Pokemon out.  The best Pokemon to have in your active Pokemon spot at this time is of course Genesect since you can use Megalo Cannon every turn thus doing even more damage to your opponent's benched Pokemon which will shortly be moved to the active Pokemon spot.  So again, I would highly recommend using this card in a deck, and I would recommend using at least 2 of them in your deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is another excellent EX Pokemon card.  I am giving this EX card my top rating and I definitely think at least one of these cards should be in every single grass type deck out there, you could easily build a deck around this EX card, same goes for the Virizion EX card I reviewed just two days ago.  This card really should be unstoppable once it is set up, since it can do basically 100 damage every turn plus spread damage, and if you use two Genesect at once, you will easily win the game.  So after only reviewing 2 Plasma Blast EX cards, I like both of them a ton!
