Aerodactyl ex -- EX Sandstorm Pokemon Card Review

Aerodactyl ex Pokemon Card EX Sandstorm SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Aerodactyl ex from the EX Sandstorm set. This is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Aerodactyl's Poke-Body is called Primal Lock and says that as long as Aerodactyl ex is in play your opponent can't play Pokemon tool cards. Aerodactyl ex has two moves, the first move is called Supersonic which does 10 damage for one colorless energy card and makes the defending Pokemon confused. Aerodactyl's other move is called Wing Attack which does 60 damage for three colorless energy cards.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This card is pretty similar to the types of cards we have today, Wing Attack does the standard 60 damage for three energy cards and Supersonic does a little damage and inflicts a special condition very quickly. I would say this card would have been pretty good back in the day. The artwork which is done by Hikaru Koike is very well done. Aerodactyl looks very cool in green against a red background, it makes Aerodactyl look very menacing. I have this card in my collection and it is one of my favorite ex cards.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $5, on Professor-Oak it sells for $7.36 and on PokeOrder it goes for $19.99. The next few days I will be reviewing the other ex cards in this set and I'll be able to compare prices with this card.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
The other ex cards from this set are: Aggron, Gardevoir, Kabutops, Raichu, Typhlosion, and Wailord.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Aerodactyl ex from the EX Sandstorm set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Aggron ex from the EX Sandstorm set.

Sneasel ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Sneasel ex Pokemon Card EX Ruby and Sapphire Set
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sneasel ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, dark type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. This card doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Double Scratch which takes one darkness energy card and does 10 damage times the number of heads when you flip two coins. Beat Up is Sneasel's second move, this move does 20 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip a coin for each of your Pokemon in play. This move requires three energy cards, two darkness and one colorless.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
Sneasel ex's Beat Up move has the potential to do the most of any move of the ex cards I've reviewed from the EX Ruby and Sapphire set, it does depend on some luck flipping a coin and a full bench but this card can do quite a bit of damage. The artwork on this card is average, it doesn't have much for a background of the holo, most black, but I do like how Sneasel is in attack mode, it looks like it is performing Double Scratch and there is a cool looking pattern on the card that makes Sneasel looks like it is in motion. The Illustrator of this card is Rya Ueda. I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $4, on Professor-Oak it sells for $7.19 and on PokeOrder it goes for $11.25. So this is one of the least expensive cards from this set as far as ex cards go.

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

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Sneasel ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Aerodactyl ex from the EX Sandstorm set.

Scyther ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Scyther ex Pokemon Card EX Ruby and Sapphire SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Scyther ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Once again this card doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Agility which takes one grass energy card and does 10 damage plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, all effects of an attack on Scyther the next turn are prevented. Slash is Scyther's second move which does 50 damage for three energy cards, two grass and one colorless.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
If I remember correctly, I pulled three of these ex cards in the EX Ruby and Sapphire box I opened on YouTube. I do like Scyther as a Pokemon but this isn't one of my favorite cards, the artwork done by Ryo Ueda isn't anything special, the background is mostly silver which is quite bland and the drawing of Scyther doesn't make it look very menacing.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $9.18 and on PokeOrder it goes for $22.50. I have no idea why PokeOrder is charging such a high price for this card, it seems like this card is quite cheap on the other two sites I look.

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

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Scyther ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Sneasel ex from the same set.

Mewtwo ex -- EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card Review

Mewtwo ex Pokemon Card EX Ruby and Sapphire SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mewtwo ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon Card set. This is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Once again this card has two moves, not a Poke-Power or Poke-Body. Mewtwo's two moves are called Energy Absorption and Psyburn, Energy Absorption takes one psychic energy card and allows you to discard two energy cards from your discard pile to Mewtwo. Psyburn does 60 damage for three energy cards, two psychic and one colorless.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is definitely the best ex card I've reviewed so far, it looks quite cool and can do the most damage, quite quickly too. It actually does 60 damage for 3 energy cards which is standard today on a lot of current cards. I like the artwork on this card which was done by Katsura Tabata, the background is a dark purple but Mewtwo is holding a Psyball that is beaming with red all around it. I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $12.36 and on PokeOrder it goes for $19.99. As I figured this card sells for a bit more than the other ex cards in this set, since Mewtwo is a popular Pokemon and this card is a little stronger than the other ex cards.

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

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Mewtwo ex from the EX Ruby and Sapphire set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Scyther ex from the same set.
