Mega Charizard EX X -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Mega Charizard EX X Flashfire Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mega Charizard EX version X from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Mega Charizard EX is a Mega Evolution, EX, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 230. It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mega Charizard does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Wild Blaze, this move requires six energy cards to use, two fire, one darkness, and two colorless, and does 300 damage a turn, however you must discard the top 5 cards off the top of your deck when you use this move.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
Before I start with the strategy, remember that this card is a Mega Evolution card and an EX card so if you use this card in your deck and it gets knocked out, your opponent gets to take two prize cards instead of one and when you evolve an EX card into its Mega Evolution, your turn ends, you cannot do anything else.  So knowing these things, you'll always want to use Mega Evolution cards with caution, but with that being said, if you're building a dual deck of fire and darkness and already using 1 or 2 Charizard EX cards in your deck, I would highly recommend putting this card in your deck.  That way, you can use Charizard EX most of the game or get it set up on the bench, and late in the game, you can evolve Charizard EX into Mega Charizard EX and the next turn you can do 300 damage with Wild Blaze and knock any Pokemon out in the TCG in one move.  However, as far as the TCG is concerned, Mega Charizard Y is the much better EX card because instead of discarding cards from your deck when using this move, it just does damage to itself.  And especially late in the game is when you'll want to make sure and knock out a Pokemon quickly, and with this card, you may end up losing the game if you choose to use Wild Blaze and then run out of cards in your deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  This card can definitely do major damage in a deck since it can do 300 damage a turn, however it isn't that great of an EX card in my opinion because it requires so many energy cards to attack, different energy cards at that, plus when you do attack the move discards a ton of energy cards which may make you lose the game pretty quickly.  But if you can get this card into the active Pokemon with a pretty full deck, this card can absolutely dominate!

Mega Charizard EX Y -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Mega Charizard EX Y Flashfire Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mega Charizard EX version Y from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Mega Charizard EX is a Mega Evolution, EX, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 220. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mega Charizard does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Crimson Dive, this move requires five energy cards, three colorless and two fire, and does 300 damage.  However after using this move, Mega Charizard does 50 damage to itself.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
Before I start with the strategy, remember that this card is a Mega Evolution card and an EX card so if you use this card in your deck and it gets knocked out, your opponent gets to take two prize cards instead of one and when you evolve an EX card into its Mega Evolution, your turn ends, you cannot do anything else.  So knowing these things, you'll always want to use Mega Evolution cards with caution, but with that being said, if you're building a fire type deck and am already using 1 or 2 Charizard EX cards in your deck, I would highly recommend putting this card in your deck.  That way, you can use Charizard EX most of the game or get it set up on the bench, and late in the game, you can evolve Charizard EX into Mega Charizard EX and the next turn you can do 300 damage with Crimson Dive and knock that Pokemon out and hopefully win the game.  When you get this card set up, the game is pretty much over because you can one hit KO any Pokemon in the TCG.  I would make sure to pad your deck with super potion and potion cards as well as including Pokemon with Abilities that can remove damage off of cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  This card is definitely the most powerful Pokemon card that I've ever reviewed on my blog.  Crimson Dive can knock out any Pokemon in the game and it is a great card to use in your deck.  I am not giving this card a perfect rating because it only does have the one move and the only move that it does have requires a ton of energy cards to use plus it does damage to Charizard.  But if you get this card into the active Pokemon spot late in a game, you should have a pretty good chance of winning.
