Milotic -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Milotic Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Milotic from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is going to be the first of three consecutive Dragons Exalted Pokemon card reviews.  Milotic is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 110.  It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Milotic doesn't have an Ability, but it does have two moves, the first move is called Clear Search and for one water energy card this move allows you to search your deck for three cards and put them into your hand.  Milotic's second move is called Water Pulse and for three energy cards, two colorless and one water, it does 60 damage plus it puts the defending Pokemon to sleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, like yesterday's Cinccino Pokemon card review, with this Milotic card it will be beneficial for you to get three energy cards onto Milotic as soon as possible so you can put this card into the active Pokemon spot and then use Water Pulse every turn to either knock out a Pokemon by doing 60 damage or putting the defending Pokemon to sleep, hopefully a majority of the defending Pokemon stay asleep when you attack them so that you can set up your bench quickly without having to receive damage from your opponent's active Pokemon.  A way to make sure you can get energy on all the Pokemon you need or to get an evolution card is to use Clear Search once and either get energy cards into your hand or find the Pokemon you need to evolve your benched Pokemon.  I would stick to using Water Pulse every turn but if you get Milotic into the active Pokemon spot soon enough and are facing a weak defending Pokemon that is the time I would use Clear Search.  I will include at least a 2-1 line of Feebas and Milotic in any water type deck I would make.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  After giving yesterday's Cinccino card a 4 out of 5 rating I had no choice but to give this card a 5 out of 5 rating, it is a much better card than yesterday's card even though it uses the same strategy.  I like the fact this card has a high hp, low retreat cost, and two great moves, one that helps the rest of your Pokemon and the other that does a good amount of damage to the defending Pokemon and hopefully keeps it from attacking a turn or two.

Cinccino -- Emerging Powers Pokemon Card Review

Cinccino Emerging Powers Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cinccino from the Emerging Powers Pokemon Card Set.  Cinccino is a a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, that has an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Cinccino doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Captivate which takes one colorless energy card and allows you to switch one of your opponent's benched Pokemon with their active Pokemon.  Cinccino's second move is called Fluffy Tail and for two colorless energy cards it does 30 damage and puts the defending Pokemon to sleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, you'll want to get this card into the active Pokemon spot pretty early in the game, once you get it into the active Pokemon spot you first want to use Captivate and switch your opponent's active Pokemon with one of their weaker benched Pokemon, the next turn you'll want to use Fluffy Tail and put the defending Pokemon to sleep, you can then hope that your opponent's Pokemon doesn't wake up so it can't retreat or attack and then use Fluffy Tail again every turn putting it back to sleep even if it does wake up, so turn after turn you'll be putting your opponent's Pokemon to sleep, and since Fluffy Tail only requires two energy cards, you should have plenty of time to set up your benched Pokemon so you can move more powerful Pokemon into the active Pokemon spot and start attacking right away with them later in the game, after you've been able to put energy cards on them, while your opponent's Pokemon are put  to sleep with Cinccino.  Since Cinccino is a colorless type Pokemon, I would suggest putting a 2-1 line of Minccino and Cinccino in almost any deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  Even though this card cannot do much for damage, I still think this card is very good.  It has a low retreat cost, average hp, and two good moves that work very well together and can help you set up your other Pokemon on the bench which will make you that much better later in the game.  So like I said earlier, I would recommend having at least one Cinccino card in any deck you might make.

Audino -- Emerging Powers Pokemon Card Review

Audino Emerging Powers Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Audino from the Emerging Powers Pokemon Card Set.  Audino is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Audino doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Powerful Slap and for one colorless energy card it does 40 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip a coin for each energy card attached to this card.  Audino's second move is called Heal Pulse which takes three colorless energy cards and heals 50 damage from one of your Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would prepare Audino on the bench by getting at least 3 energy cards on it, I would then strategize during the game so that whenever my Pokemon are close to feinting I retreat them so towards the end of the game I would have a healthy Audino with three energy cards on it and a full bench of injured Pokemon, I would then move Audino into the active Pokemon spot and either attack using Powerful Slap if I only need to knock out one or two more Pokemon but if I have more than two Pokemon to knock out I would use Heal Pulse a couple turns in a row and remove a great amount of damage from my benched Pokemon.  Since Audino is a colorless type Pokemon, I can put it in any deck, and I would consider putting one Audino card in almost every type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  I think this is an above average basic Pokemon card, I really like that you can put it into any deck and attach any type of energy card to it, another thing I like about this card is that it has the potential to do a massive amount of damage with Powerful Slap but at the same time has the ability to heal a ton of damage from your own Pokemon.  So Audino not only helps your team offensively but defensively as well.

Tranquill -- Emerging Powers Pokemon Card Review

Tranquill Emerging Powers Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Tranquill from the Emerging Powers Pokemon Card Set.  Tranquill is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Tranquill doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Claw and for one colorless energy card it does 30 damage unless you flip a tails when using this move then the move does nothing at all.  Tranquill's second move is called Wing Attack and for three colorless energy cards it does 50 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since this is a stage 1 Pokemon card that has a stage 2 evolution in Unfezant, I would recommend keeping Tranquill on the bench and evolving it into Unfezant before putting it into play, I would do this because Unfezant can do much more damage than Tranquill and it has a higher hp.  There is one Unfezant card in this set, and I've reviewed that card on my blog previously.  If you have to put KlangTranquill into play, I would recommend using Wing Attack every turn because it is the only move on Tranquill that is guaranteed to do damage, the only time I would use Claw would be if I have less than 3 energy cards on Tranquill, otherwise there is no reason at all to use Claw.  If I wanted to use Tranquill in my deck I would make sure to include Unfezant in that deck, I would use a 4-3-2 or 3-2-1 line of Pidove, Tranquill, and Unfezant in any type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a well below average Pokemon card, even though it can be in any deck because it is a colorless card, it is still that bad of card that I  am giving it a poor rating.  First off, it has a horrible hp, and secondly both of its moves are terrible, the first move has only a 50/50 chance of doing damage, and the second move does below average damage for three energy cards, so again, I recommend if you want to use Tranquill in your deck, keep Tranquill on the bench and evolve it into Unfezant before putting it in the active Pokemon spot.
