Mareep -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mareep from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Mareep is a basic, electric type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mareep does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Cotton Guard and for one colorless energy card, this move reduces damage done to Mareep during its next turn by 20.  Mareep's second move is called Thunder Jolt and for two energy cards, one each of electric and colorless, this move does 30 damage, however if you get a tails when you flip a coin, this move also does 10 damage to Mareep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mareep has a stage 1 evolution in Flaaffy, and a stage 2 evolution in Ampharos, there is absolutely no reason to put this card into the active Pokemon spot if it hasn't evolved into at least its stage 1 evolution.  My main reason for saying this is that Mareep can't do as much damage or endure as much damage as one of its evolutions can.  However, if you're forced to put this card into the active Pokemon spot I would attach two energy cards to this card so you can actually attack and do some damage.  The only time I would use Cotton Guard would be if the move would prevent Mareep from getting knocked out the next turn and soon after that you would be able to evolve Mareep into Flaaffy.  So every turn you can with this card, if you can't evolve it I would use Thunder Jolt.  As of now, I would not recommend using this card by itself in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  When first looking at this card I thought this wouldn't be too bad of a basic Pokemon card, it had 60 hp, two moves, and a low retreat cost, however after actually reviewing the card, I don't think this is even an average basic Pokemon card, neither of its moves are good at all so I would stay away from this unless you want to use Ampharos in your deck.

Alomomola -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Alomomola from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Alomomola is a basic, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Alomomola does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves, the first move is called Mysterious Beam and for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless, this move does 30 damage and you are able to remove an energy card attached to the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Alomomola's second move is called Double Slap and for three energy cards, two colorless and one water, this move does 50 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since this is a basic Pokemon card with no evolutions, I would recommend putting Alomomola into play as soon as you get two energy cards attached to it.  Strategy is pretty straightforward, depending on how many energy cards you have attached to Alomomola will determine which move to use, if you only have two energy cards attached to Alomomola you have no choice but to use Mysterious Beam instead of Double Slap.  I would use Double Slap most of the time, unless the defending Pokemon will be knocked out by 30 damage or less, then it only makes sense to use Mysterious Beam because you are guaranteed to do damage every turn.  I would only include 1 of these cards in a water type deck, so basically if you are looking for one extra Pokemon for your water type deck, this card could be a good fit.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  Even though it is a basic Pokemon, it is basically the same as a stage 1 card, the hp is similar and both of Alomomola's moves require a fair amount of energy, similar to the moves of a stage 1 Pokemon.  So this definitely isn't a basic Pokemon you want to start the game with since it is slow, but it may be able to help your team later in the game after you set up Alomomola on the bench.

Seismitoad -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Seismitoad from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Seismitoad is a stage 2, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140.  Seismitoad is the stage 2 evolution of Palpitoad, and before that Tympole, both of those Pokemon I have reviewed the past couple of days, and both of those Pokemon are in this set.  Seismitoad has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Seismitoad does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Echoed Voice which requires three colorless energy cards and does 50 damage, and if you choose to use this move the next turn, this move does 100 damage instead of 50.  Seismitoad's second move is called Drain Punch which takes four energy cards, three colorless and one water, and does 80 damage and heals 20 damage from Seismitoad.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Seismitoad is a stage 2 Pokemon, I would recommend evolving Tympole into Palpitoad and Palpitoad into Seismitoad on the bench, once you get three energy cards attached to Seismitoad I would move it into the active Pokemon spot and use Echoed Voice the first two turns so you can basically do 75 damage a turn for only three energy cards.  After that, I would use Drain Punch every turn because not only does it do more damage than Echoed Voice but it will remove damage from Seismitoad every turn, thus making Seismitoad's hp seem even higher than it already is.  I would use a 4-3-2 line of Tympole, Palpitoad, and Seismitoad in a partial water deck, as you can see, Seismitoad requires mostly colorless energy cards to attack so this card will fit in well in almost any type deck as long as there are a few water energy cards in that deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  To me, this is an above average stage 2 Pokemon card, I like that it has a good hp, and two great moves, both moves can do tons of damage which is always what you want from a stage 2 Pokemon card.  Another thing I like about this card is that it has a low retreat cost for how many energy cards it needs to attack, so if you do get in trouble you can always retreat this card and not too much later move this card back into the active Pokemon spot and start attacking again.

Palpitoad -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Palpitoad from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Palpitoad is a stage 1, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  Palpitoad is the stage 1 evolution of Tympole, there is a Tympole card in this set and I reviewed that card yesterday, Palpitoad's stage 2 evolution is Seismitoad and I'll be reviewing that card tomorrow.  Palpitoad has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Palpitoad does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Supersonic which requires one colorless energy card and confuses the defending Pokemon.  Palpitoad's second move is called Hyper Voice and for three energy cards, two colorless and one water, it does 50 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since this is a stage 1 Pokemon, you'll first have to evolve Tympole into Palpitoad to use this card.  Like I said yesterday, you'll want to keep Tympole on the bench until you evolve it into Palpitoad, once that happens I would still recommend keeping this Pokemon on the bench because it doesn't have a very high hp and neither of its moves can do much damage, at least for the amount of energy that it requires.  I would recommend getting four energy cards on Palpitoad, evolving it into Seismitoad and then moving Seismitoad into the active Pokemon spot.  I would use Hyper Voice every turn if I had to put Palpitoad into the active Pokemon spot, however I would have no choice but to use Supersonic instead if I didn't have three energy cards attached to Palpitoad.  After looking at this card, I would not recommend using Tympole or Palpitoad in a deck without using Seismitoad with this line.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a pretty poor stage 1 Pokemon card that should only be used as a means to get to Seismitoad.  Neither of Palpitoad's moves are very good, one can't do any damage at all, and the other move takes too many energy cards for the amount of damage the move does, plus with only 80 hp, this card won't last very long against a good Pokemon.
