Wurmple -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Wurmple from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Wurmple is a basic, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Wurmple has two evolutions in this set, its stage 1 evolution is Silcoon, and its stage 2 evolution is Beautifly.  Wurmple does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Sleep Poison which requires one colorless energy card and allows you to flip a coin, if you get a heads when you flip a coin the defending Pokemon is poisoned and asleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Wurmple is a basic Pokemon card that has two evolutions in this set, like I mentioned in the previous section, I would recommend keeping Wurmple on your bench until you can evolve Wurmple into its stage 1 and eventually to its stage 2 evolution.  If you have to put Wurmple into the active Pokemon spot you'll have no choice but to use Sleep Poison, since this is Wurmple's only move, you can hope you get a heads but either way, I would make sure to evolve Wurmple into Silcoon as fast as possible.  Stay tuned for the next two days of card reviews to see how the rest of Wurmple's Pokemon line fairs out.  As of now I can't recommend using this card in a deck because it can't guarantee doing any damage.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  Based on this card alone and not any of its evolutions from this set, I am going to give this card a very low rating because it can't do any damage for sure, it is only a 50% chance.  So without Wurmple's evolutions this card definitely isn't worth playing, but if for some reason you only have one of these in a deck it better be a deck that is based around inflicting special conditions.

Yanmega -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Yanmega from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Yanmega is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  Yanmega is the stage 1 evolution of the Pokemon card I reviewed yesterday in Yanma.  Yanmega has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a free retreat cost.  Yanmega doesn't have an Ability, but it does have two moves, the first move is called Agility and for two colorless energy cards it does 30 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin all effects of attacks from your opponent during their next turn is prevented on Yanmega.  Yanmega's second move is called Cutting Wind and for three colorless energy cards this move does 70 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Yanmega is a a stage 1 Pokemon card, I would recommend keeping Yanma on the bench, then evolving it into Yanmega, once Yanmega has at least two energy cards on it I would then put it into the active Pokemon spot.  Once Yanmega is in the active Pokemon spot I would use Cutting Wind two turns in a row unless the defending Pokemon has more than 140 hp or Yanmega is likely to get knocked out during its next turn, if that was the case I would use Agility instead of Cutting Wind.  If possible, I would put this card in a spread damage type deck, so I could use Yanma a turn or two, then evolve Yanma into Yanmega, use Cutting Wind a turn or two, then use Yanmega's free retreat cost and move it to the bench, besides having spread damage type Pokemon in the deck I would include a couple that would have free retreat costs so I could freely move Yanmega and those other Pokemon in and out of the active Pokemon spot quite regularly.  I would use Yanmega in any type deck since it only requires colorless energy cards, and I would include a 2-2 line of Yanma and Yanmega in that deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  This is a very good stage 1 Pokemon card, and the best Dragons Exalted card I've reviewed lately.  I like the fact that this card has a free retreat cost, can be put in any deck, and has two great moves.  I know this is a stage 1 Pokemon card but this card really would be dominant if it had a little higher hp or a sweet Ability.  Either way this card is a great card, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Yanma -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Yanma from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Yanma is a basic, grass type Pokemon, that has one evolution in Yanmega.  Yanma has an hp of 70, a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Yanma does not have an Ability, and it only has one move called Whirlwind which takes two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage, besides doing the damage your opponent must switch their active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Yanma is a basic Pokemon card that has one evolution in this set, with Yanmega, I would recommend keeping Yanma on your bench until you can evolve Yanma into Yanmega.  However, if you don't have Yanmega in your deck or you need to put Yanma into the active Pokemon spot the best time to do so is as soon as you get two energy cards on Yanma, this way you can use Whirlwind right away, do 20 damage to the active Pokemon, then have them move in a weaker Pokemon that is not ready to attack by using Whirlwind the next turn.  In essence, what you're doing is spreading damage around.  So if I were to use this card in a deck, I would try and use this card with Yanmega, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, I would include this card in a spread damage type deck, and if you are only going to use Yanma, you can put this card into any deck since it can use any type of energy.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average basic Pokemon card.  I like the fact that it has an above average hp, and good retreat cost, however it is fairly slow for only doing 20 damage, and by making your opponent rotate new Pokemon into the active Pokemon spot each turn, you're only asking for trouble, because soon enough your opponent is going to put in a Pokemon that can knock out Yanma in one turn.

Jumpluff -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Jumpluff from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Jumpluff is a stage 2, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  Jumpluff evolves from Hoppip and then into Skiploom which evolves into Jumpluff.  I have reviewed both of those other Pokemon from this set the past two days.  Jumpluff has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a free retreat cost.  Unlike the other two Pokemon in this line, Jumpluff does have an Ability which is called Leave It to the Wind and it says that once during your turn before you turn you may move Jumpluff and all the cards attached to it back to your hand.  Besides the Ability, Jumpluff has one move called Acrobatics which takes one grass energy card and does 20 damage plus 30 more damage for each heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Jumpluff is a stage 2 Pokemon, you'll want to evolve Hoppip into Skiploom and then Skiploom into Jumpluff on the bench so you can start attacking right away when you put Jumpluff into the active Pokemon spot and not worry about getting knocked out after one move.  Since Jumpluff has a free retreat cost you don't really have to worry about removing damage from Jumpluff when it is attacked since you can either use its Ability and move it back to your hand or retreat it.  Attacking wise, your only choice is to use Acrobatics which only requires the one energy card, and with some luck you could do 80 damage per turn for only one energy card.  I would include Jumpluff in a deck that is based on speed and the ability to rotate your Pokemon in and out of play for free.  Depending on how much room you have, you may not want to use Jumpluff in your deck and just use Hoppip and Skiploom, since Skiploom is quite similar to this card but does a little less damage and has less hp.  But, if you want to use the full line of this Pokemon, I would suggest using a 3-2-2 line of Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff in at least a partial grass type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  This is an average stage 2 Pokemon card in my opinion, even though it only has 90 hp which is extremely low, and it can only do 20 damage for sure each turn, the card makes up for this by having a free retreat cost, a great Ability, and a fast move.
