Mega Heracross EX -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Mega Heracross EX Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mega Heracross EX from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Mega Heracross EX is a Mega Evolution, EX, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 220. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mega Heracross does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Big Bang Horn, this move requires three energy cards to use, two grass and one colorless, and does 180 damage minus 10 damage for each damage counter on Mega Heracross.

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, however I probably would just stick to using Heracross EX if I were to build a grass type deck.  Heracross EX is very powerful on its own being able to do 120 damage turn and healing damage from itself.  I say I would not use Mega Heracross in a deck because even though Big Bang Horn can potentially do 180 damage every turn, as soon as you get damage counters on Mega Heracross that attack's total damage goes down and eventually it may do nothing at all.  So instead of risking putting a Mega EX in play, I think I would play it a little safer and just use Heracross EX in a deck.  Of course, if you want to use this Mega card in your deck, your only option will be to get 3 energy cards on it and use Big Bang Horn every single turn and you'll want to make sure to have plenty of potion cards in your deck to remove damage from Mega Heracross EX.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Mega EX card from the Furious Fists set.  This is probably the poorest Mega card I have reviewed on my blog so far and the reason I think it is so poor is because the only move this card has may end up doing 0 damage before Mega Heracross is knocked out and I wouldn't want to waste a spot in my deck for something that doesn't do any damage.  Other than that, this card is average overall, its HP is high, and 180 damage initially per turn is very good.  So again, I would not recommend using this card in a deck, it just doesn't do consistent enough damage for me.
