Pokemon Card of the Day: Yanmega (Legends Awakened)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Yanmega from the Legends Awakened set. This is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a +20 weakness to electric type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and free retreat costs. Yanmega doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Sonic Wave which does 10 damage for no energy at all. Plus it does 10 damage to each of your opponent's benched Pokemon and makes your opponent switch their active Pokemon, this would be an excellent card to precede the Spiritomb card I reviewed yesterday in play. Yanmega's second move is called Pursue and Turn which requires 4 energy cards, two each of grass and colorless energy cards, and does 60 damage to the defending Pokemon unless that Pokemon already has at least 20 damage on it then Pursue and Turn does 80 damage to the defending Pokemon and you switch Yanmega with one of your benched Pokemon. As far as strategy goes I would mainly use Sonic Wave with this card, first off I would use it because it doesn't cost any energy cards at all and secondly because it can do damage to every Pokemon your opponent has in play. I really wouldn't even use Pursue and Turn because it takes too long to perform and I would include other spread damage and high attack Pokemon in this deck so I would just use Sonic Wave a couple turns in a row and then retreat for free and move in a Pokemon that does more damage. I would give this card a 4 out of 5 because I really like how it can set up cards like Spiritomb that I reviewed yesterday or other cards that require damage on cards in order to do damage to Pokemon. Also I like you can retreat Yanmega in and out of the active Pokemon spot for free and you don't need any energy at all for this card. So thanks for reading today's review of Yanmega from the Legends Awakened set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Azelf from the same set.

Pokemon Card of the Day: Spiritomb (Legends Awakened)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Spiritomb from the Legends Awakened set. This is a basic, psychic type Pokemon, with an hp of 70. It does not have a weakness, it has a -20 resistance to normal type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Spiritomb's Poke-Power is called Curse Breath which says that once per turn when you move Spiritomb from your hand onto your bench you may put 1 damage counter on all Pokemon that already have any damage counters on them, this includes yours and your opponent's Pokemon. Spiritomb's only move is called Transfer Pain which takes 1 Psychic energy card and says to move one damage counter from one of your Pokemon to one of your opponent's Pokemon. As far as strategy goes this card is a must for any spread damage type deck, and even if the Pokemon damage your own Pokemon that is okay. I would make sure to have a Pokemon that does damage to the benched Pokemon in play as your active Pokemon before you even more Spiritomb into play, otherwise Spiritomb won't be able to do anything at all. So this card is mainly a card to have in your hand until you spread damage to all your opponent's Pokemon with a spread damage card in your deck and then you can move Spiritomb on your bench and damage all of those Pokemon. I would give this card a 2 out of 5 because even though it spreads damage quite well it only spreads 10 damage at once and can't do any damage at all unless Pokemon have damage on them already so this card is highly dependent on other cards in your deck and since this card is a basic Pokemon you may have to play it before you want to which will mean an automatic prize card for your opponent. So thanks for reading today's review of Spiritomb from the Legends Awakened set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Yanmega from the same set.

Pokemon Card of the Day: Regigigas (Legends Awakened)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Regigigas from the Legends Awakened set. This is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 120. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a 4 colorless energy card retreat cost. Its Poke-Body is called Slow Start and this says that Regigigas can't attack until your opponent has 3 or less prize cards left. Regigigas's only move is called Crush Grip and for four energy cards, one each of water, fighting, metal, and colorless, Regigigas does 120 damage unless the defending Pokemon already has some damage counters on it. So as far as strategy goes you'll want to keep Regigigas on your bench until you have already lost three Pokemon so you can actually attack, and this time gives you the opportunity to get the appropriate cards attached to Regigigas, I would include this deck in a dual type deck of two of the three energy cards necessary to perform Crush Grip and I would use a special energy card for the other energy card. Once your opponent does have 3 or less Prize cards left this card can do quite good if it is set up and ready to go, you'll want to avoid using spread damage type cards in this deck however so Regigigas can do its full damage when using Crush Grip and if you at least knocked out a Pokemon or two earlier in the game you have a decent chance of winning the game once Regigigas is in the active Pokemon spot. I would rate this card a 2 out of 5 because of its Poke-Body you don't want to put too many of these in your deck because then you won't be able to attack if you have to play one of them right away, another downfall to this card is that it requires so many different energy cards to attack, but like I was saying earlier if you do get this card set up on your bench it can be quite dominant but you'll just have to wait awhile before you're able to use it. So thanks for reading today's review of Regigigas from the Legends Awakened set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Spiritomb from the same set.

Pokemon Card of the Day: Probopass (Legends Awakened)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Probopass from the Legends Awakened set. This is a stage 1, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a +20 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance, and a 3 colorless energy card retreat cost. Probopass's Poke-Body is called Steel Coating which says that any damage done to Probopass by your opponent's attacks is reduced by 10 for each metal energy card attached to Probopass, only 20 damage can be reduced in this way. Probopass's only move is called Metal Bomber which does the standard 60 damage for 3 energy cards, in this case, one fighting and two colorless energy cards, besides doing the damage for each metal energy card attached Probopass you can do 20 damage to that many of your opponent's benched Pokemon. As far as strategy goes I would want to include metal energy in whatever deck you're using with this card that way you can utilize Probopass's Poke-Body and attack better, you can make Probopass stay alive longer by reducing your opponent's attacks and you can do twenty damage of let's say 2 of your opponent's Pokemon. So I would include this card with other fighting type spread damage cards so that after a few turns of Metal Bomber you should be able to knock out a Pokemon or two of your opponent's. I would give this card a 3 out of 5 because I like how Probopass's Poke-Body and move work so well together but I don't like that it depends on metal energy to be more effective and at the same time, since Probopass is a stage 1 Pokemon card it doesn't have a very high hp and yet it has an extremely high retreat cost. So thanks for reading today's review of Probopass from the Legends Awakened set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Regigigas from the same set.
