Roserade #14/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Roserade from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Roserade Pokemon cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Roserade is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Roserade does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move is called Crosswise Whip which requires one grass energy card and does 30 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 4 coins.  Roserade's second move is called Poison Point and for three energy cards, two colorless and one grass, this move does 60 damage and poisons the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Roserade is a stage 1 Pokemon card, I would recommend getting Roselia on your bench first, then evolving it into Roserade while on the bench, once you get one energy card on Roserade you are ready to put it into the active Pokemon spot.  If the Pokemon you're facing has 120 hp or less on it, I would use Poison Point two turns in a row, if it has more than 120 hp or you only have one energy card on Roserade I would use Crosswise Whip instead.  Since there is another Roserade Pokemon card in this set which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, I don't know which one is better yet, but I would definitely suggest using this card and using it in a grass type deck.  I would suggest using a 2-2 line of Roselia and Roserade.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a great stage 1 Pokemon card, it has an average hp, low retreat cost, and two great moves.  One is extremely quick and can do major damage, the other does average damage for average energy but being able to poison the defending Pokemon makes Poison Point an above average move.  So I would definitely recommend using this card in a grass type deck.

Roselia #13/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Roselia from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two consecutive Roselia Pokemon card reviews from this set.  Roselia is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  Its stage 1 evolution is Roserade and there are two Roserade cards in this set as well.  Roselia has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Roselia does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Needling Sting which takes two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, and does 10 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Roselia is a basic Pokemon card that has two evolution cards in this set, I would not use Roselia in the active Pokemon spot if I didn't have to, I would start putting energy cards on Roselia, one or two, and leave Roselia on the bench until it evolves into one of the two Roserade cards.  If you have to put Roselia into the active Pokemon spot the strategy is quite simple, the only thing you can do is use Needling Sting.  It is too early to say how many of each Pokemon in this line you would put in a grass type deck, but if you're looking to use just Roselia in a deck, I wouldn't use more than 1 at this point, even after reviewing both Roselia cards I wouldn't use more than 1.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  This card is a below average, basic Pokemon card.  Both Roselia cards I've reviewed these past two days aren't very good, they both have good hp but that is about it, this card can't do much damage, at least guaranteed damage, so I would not use this card unless you are going to use Roserade.

Roselia #12/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Roselia from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Roselia Pokemon card reviews from this set.  Roselia is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  Its stage 1 evolution is Roserade and there are two Roserade cards in this set as well.  Roselia has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Roselia does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Double Whip and for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.  Roselia's second move is called Relaxing Fragrance which takes one grass energy card and removes 30 damage and heals all special conditions from this Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Roselia is a basic Pokemon card that has two evolution cards in this set, I would not use Roselia in the active Pokemon spot if I didn't have to, I would start putting energy cards on Roselia, one or two, and leave Roselia on the bench until it evolves into one of the two Roserade cards.  If you have to put Roselia into the active Pokemon spot the strategy is quite simple, I would attack with Double Whip until I either can evolve it into Roserade, or until I have a special condition on Roselia or am about to be knocked out, in that case I would use Relaxing Fragrance instead of Double Whip.  It is too early to say how many of each Pokemon in this line you would put in a grass type deck, but if you're looking to use just Roselia in a deck, I wouldn't use more than 1 at this point.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  This card is a below average, basic Pokemon card.  There are a few good things about this card, it does have a good hp, one average move, and a low retreat cost, however the reason I'm giving this card a low rating is because it can't do much damage, and the little damage it can do isn't guaranteed.  I would rather have a Pokemon that is guaranteed to do 20 damage a turn as their only move than a Pokemon like this one that has two moves and the move that does damage isn't guaranteed.

Shedinja -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Shedinja from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Shedinja is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60.  It does not have a weakness, resistance or retreat cost.  Shedinja is one of two evolutions of Nincada, I reviewed Nincada's other stage 1 evolution in Ninjask yesterday.  Shedinja's Ability is called Empty Shell and says that if Shedinja is knocked out your opponent can't take any prize cards for knocking this Pokemon out.  Besides the Ability, Shedinja has one move called Cursed Drop which takes one psychic energy card and does 30 damage to any of your opponent's Pokemon in any way you would like to distribute that 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Shedinja is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you need to evolve a Nincada to be abe to use Shedinja.  There are two ways you can do this, the first is the standard way of having Nincada on the bench or in the active Pokemon spot and moving Shedinja from your hand and putting it on top of Nincada, the other way is to have Nincada on the bench or in the active Pokemon spot, evolve Nincada into Ninjask and use Ninjask's Ability to search your deck or hand for Shedinja and put it onto your bench without placing it on Nincada first.  I would recommend the second method of getting Shedinja into play, this way you can evolve Pokemon quicker and evolve two Pokemon at once, with only needing one basic Pokemon card.  I would use Shedinja in a grass and psychic type deck, like I mentioned yesterday, I would include this card with Nincada and Ninjask (both grass type Pokemon) and Dustox (psychic type) and Beautifly (grass type).  I would include other Pokemon in this deck that can spread damage, and I would try to move Shedinja into the active Pokemon spot whenever the defending Pokemon can't do much damage, I would use Cursed Drop a time or two then retreat it for free.  I would do this throughout the entire game until Shedinja is knocked out.  That way it will be that much easier for my other Pokemon to knock out my opponent's Pokemon because almost all of them coming into the active Pokemon spot should have previous damage on them.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  Like yesterday, this card has a very low hp for a stage 1 Pokemon card, but since this Pokemon basically doesn't count if it is knocked out, this isn't as big of deal to me as it is with Ninjask.  That is why I'm giving this card a better rating than Ninjask.  Pluses on this card also include the ability to spread damage, and the fact that this card has no weakness or retreat cost.
