Raichu ex -- EX Sandstorm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Raichu ex from the EX Sandstorm set. This is a stage 1, electric type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. This card doesn't have a Poke-Body or Poke-Power but it does have two moves, the first move is called Dazzle Blast which does 20 damage for one electric energy card and makes the defending Pokemon confused if you get a heads when you flip a coin. Raichu's second move is called Mega Thunderbolt and does 120 damage for three energy cards, two electric and one colorless, however after using this move you have to discard all energy cards attached to Raichu.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This card can knock almost any Pokemon out in one move with Mega Thunderbolt but unfortunately you'll have to wait a few turns after that to be able to use the move again. It looks like the whole card is based around that move since the artwork reflects Raichu using a thunderbolt move, it reminds me heavily of the Pokemon Movie that featured Mewtwo. The illustrator of this card was Ryo Ueda. I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $16.54 and on PokeOrder it goes for $39.99. I have no idea why it is listed for so much on PokeOrder so if you're looking to buy this card definitely check out the other two sites.

Kabutops ex -- EX Sandstorm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kabutops ex from the EX Sandstorm set. This is a stage 2, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150. It has two x2 weaknesses to grass and electric type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. This card doesn't have a Poke-Body or Poke-Power but it does have two moves, the first move is called Hydrocutter which takes one colorless energy card and does 40 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip the amount of coins equal to the number of energy cards attached to Kabutops up to three energy cards. Kabutops' second move is called Spiral Drain which takes four energy cards, two each of colorless and fighting and does 70 damage and allows you to remove 2 damage counters from Kabutops.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
One thing I noticed about this card right away that it is a water type card yet it doesn't require any water energy cards to any of its attacks. Spiral Drain is a pretty good move doing 70 damage and removing damage counters and making Kabutops' 150 hp seem even higher. This card was illustrated by Ryo Ueda and is very well done. This card's artwork reminds me of Aerodactyl ex from this set, since the background is orange/red and black and then Kabutops looks quite menacing. I also like how this card is blue since it is a water type but everyone knows Kabutops is normally a fighting type Pokemon. I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $8, on Professor-Oak it sells for $8.86 and on PokeOrder it goes for $15.99. This card sells for more than the other ex cards from this set on eBay, the other sites it is about the same.

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

Gardevoir ex -- EX Sandstorm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Gardevoir ex from the EX Sandstorm set. This is a stage 2, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150. It has two x2 weaknesses to grass and psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. This card doesn't have a Poke-Body or Poke-Power but it does have two moves, the first move is called Feedback which does the amount of damage equal to the number of cards in your opponent's hand, so if your opponent had 3 cards in their hand this move would do 30 damage. Gardevoir's second move is called Psystorm which takes 4 energy cards, three colorless and one psychic and does 10 damage time the total amount of energy attached to all Pokemon in play.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is a card that benefits you greatly if you have it in play early in the game and late in the game, early in the game Feedback should do quite a bit of damage and late in the game when your Pokemon are set up on your bench it can do quite a bit of damage. Since this card does so much damage it has the dual x2 weaknesses once again to two popular types of Pokemon. The artwork was done again by Hikaru Koike, I actually don't like the artwork on this card as mcuh, Gardevoir just isn't drawn well in my opinion. I don't think I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $3, on Professor-Oak it sells for $15.75 and on PokeOrder it goes for $11.99. So overall this card sells for a little less than the other two ex cards from this set I've reviewed.

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

Aggron ex -- EX Sandstorm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Aggron ex from the EX Sandstorm set. This is a stage 2, metal type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150. It has two x2 weaknesses to fire and fighting type Pokemon, it has a -30 resistance to grass type Pokemon, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost. Aggron ex doesn't have a Poke-Body or Poke-Power but it does have two moves, the first move is called Rend and for three colorless energy cards this move does 30 damage plus 30 more damage if the defending Pokemon has any damage counters on it. Aggron's other move is called Metal Surge which takes 5 energy cards and does 50 damage plus 20 more damage to each of your opponent's benched Pokemon.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is definitely the most powerful EX Pokemon Card I've reviewed so far. Aggron has a massive HP and has the ability to do a lot of damage but you have to wait a long time to be able to do the damage and that HP doesn't seem so high with dual x2 weaknesses to very popular Pokemon types. The illustration on this card was once again done by Hikaru Koike and is well done, Aggron doesn't look as good as Aerodactyl from yesterday but I do like the black and orange holographic pattern on the background of the picture. This is another ex card I have in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $4, on Professor-Oak it sells for $15 and on PokeOrder it goes for $19.99. So overall this card sells for a little more than the Aerodactyl ex card from yesterday.

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