Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Tyranitar EX and Tyranitar EX Full Art from the Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Set. Tyranitar EX is a basic, EX, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost. Tyranitar EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves. The first move that this card has is called Hammer In, for three energy cards, two colorless and one darkness, this move does 60 damage. Tyranitar's second move is called Break Ground, for four energy cards, two each of colorless and darkness, this move does 130 damage, however it does do 10 damage to each of your own Pokemon.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Tyranitar 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. However, Tyranitar does have a mega evolution you could use from this set and I will be reviewing that card tomorrow, so this strategy below will act like Tyranitar EX does not have an evolution. So knowing this, on its own, unless you can take advantage of Tyranitar doing damage to your own Pokemon with Break Ground, this card should not be used on its own. If one of your Pokemon's attacks is based on how much damage is on all of your benched Pokemon, this Tyranitar card would be ideal, you would attack with it for a few turns then move the aforementioned Pokemon to the active Pokemon spot.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is a slightly below average EX Pokemon card from the Ancient Origins set. This card can do major damage every single turn but it is really slow on the attack and it also does damage to your own Pokemon. So unless you're a huge fan of Tyranitar or can utilize damage on your own Pokemon, this card shouldn't be used in a deck.
