Chansey ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Since I've reviewed all the rare Pokemon cards from the newest sets I'm going to be taking a break from my normal Pokemon card reviews to review all the EX Pokemon cards made since the next expansion set will introduce or reintroduce the EX Pokemon cards to the TCG. Since none of the older EX Pokemon are playable in the current format I'll be talking about a few different things on each card, first I will give an overview of the card like I normally do, then I will say what I like about this card if I like it at all, and then I will report how much this card actually is worth, I will indicate what other EX Pokemon cards are in this set then I'll indicate the card I am going to review the next day. So I hope you like these new types of reviews (I'll be going back to my old style when a new set is released). I would really appreciate it if you would comment on this review to say you actually read it and then give your thoughts on the review.

So, today's Pokemon Card Review is of Chansey ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card 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 three colorless energy card retreat cost. Chansey ex doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Healing Egg which takes two colorless energy cards and lets you remove 2 damage counters from each of your Pokemon, however you can't remove any damage counters from Chansey. Chansey's other move is called Double-edge which does 80 damage for three colorless energy cards, however Chansey does 60 damage to itself.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
So in this section of the review I will indicate if I like this card or not, if I have this card in my collection, what I think of its moves, and what I think about the artwork. I know these older ex cards aren't too great but compared to today's cards Double-edge is a pretty bad move considering if you use it twice it will knock Chansey out. The artwork on this card isn't anything too special, it was illustrated by Ryo Uedo, the Chansey is set against a plain background that doesn't do anything to increase the appeal of this card. I do have this ex card, but it isn't one of my favorites, I think I pulled this card out of the Ruby and Sapphire and box I opened on YouTube.

Pokemon Card Price:
In this section I will indicate the prices this card is selling for, the best place to find a price is to search completed listings on eBay. This card sells on eBay for around $5, on Professor-Oak it sells for $6.12 and on PokeOrder it goes for $11.25.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
The other ex cards from this set are: Electabuzz, Hitmonchan, Lapras, Magmar, Mewtwo, Scyther, and Sneasel.

Reuniclus #53/101 -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Reuniclus from the Noble Victories set. This is the second of two Reuniclus cards I'll be reviewing from this set. This is a stage 2, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Reuniclus doesn't have an Ability, but it does have two moves, the first move is called Dizzy Punch which takes one psychic energy card and does 30 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins. Reuniclus' second move is called Mind Bend which does the standard 60 damage for three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic in this case. Besides doing the damage, the defending Pokemon is now confused.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, just like Volcarona from yesterday, use whichever move you have the necessary energy cards for. I would prefer to use Mind Bend every time but if you only have two energy cards attached to Reuniclus you'll have to use Dizzy Punch instead.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This card is quite similar to Volcarona from yesterday, however this card has a little lower hp, and Dizzy Punch isn't as good as Volcarona's move so I am giving this card an average rating instead of a four.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Reuniclus from the Noble Victories set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of another rare Pokemon card.

Volcarona -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Volcarona from the Noble Victories set. This is a stage 1, fire type Pokemon card, with an hp of 110. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Volcarona doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Fiery Dance which does 30 damage for one fire energy card and besides doing the damage you may move one energy card from your discard pile to one of your Pokemon. Volcarona's other move is called Heat Wave and for three energy cards, two colorless and one fire it does 60 damage and burns the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, this card is extremely straightforward. Just use the move you have the necessary energy cards for, I would prefer to use Heat Wave the entire time. The only time I would consider using Fiery Dance would be if I needed to attach energy cards to my benched Pokemon and the defending Pokemon wouldn't be knocked out by doing 60 damage to it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating. This card is slightly above average for a stage 1 Pokemon card, it has 20 more hp than most stage 1 cards, it can do a move very quickly requiring only 1 energy card and it can do the standard 60 damage for 3 energy cards plus it burns the defending Pokemon. So if you're looking for a few fire cards to put into your deck, Volcarona may consider a look.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Volcarona from the Noble Victories set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of the second Reuniclus card from the Noble Victories set.

Meowth -- Noble Victories Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Meowth from the Noble Victories set. This is a secret rare card in the Noble Victories set and you can tell this by looking at the number on this card which is #102/101. So Meowth is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Meowth doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Fury Swipes which takes one colorless energy card and does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 3 coins. Meowth's other move is called Pay Day which takes 2 colorless energy cards and does 20 damage plus you get to draw a card when using this move.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, you can put this card in any type deck since it is a normal type card. This card is definitely one you'll want to start the game with since it can do 30 damage for only one energy card and early in the game, Pay Day can help you get that one card you need to level up a Pokemon or get an energy card to attach to one of your benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. This is definitely a solid starter Pokemon for any deck. However, I would probably try and find other, less rare and expensive starter cards to put in my deck.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Meowth from the Noble Victories set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Volcarona from the Noble Victories set.
