Ambipom -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ambipom from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Ambipom is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Ambipom does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, its first move is called Double Hit and for one colorless energy card this move does 20 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.  Ambipom's second move is called Hand Fling and for two colorless energy cards this move does 10 damage times the number of cards in your hand.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ambipom is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Aipom into play (I reviewed Aipom from this set yesterday) and then evolve Aipom into Ambipom.  If you read yesterday's review, I think it would be okay to move Aipom into the active Pokemon spot first, but if you have a choice I would definitely keep it on the bench until you're able to evolve it into Ambipom.  When you get Ambipom into the active Pokemon spot, I would use Hand Fling every turn as long as you have two energy cards attached to Ambipom and you have more than 2 cards in your hand.  So to make sure you have plenty of cards in your hand I would include trainers/supporters in the deck that allow you to draw cards and include Pokemon that don't need that many energy cards to attack, that way you should have more cards in your hand and be able to do more every turn with Ambipom.  If you were to use Ambipom in a deck, I would use a 2-1 line of Aipom and Ambipom in whatever deck you're building.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average stage 1 Pokemon card.  Even though it does have lower than average hp for a stage 1 Pokemon, I think overall the card is average.  Both of its moves are solid, both require little energy, and both require any type of energy making this card fit in any deck.  I wouldn't highly recommend to use this card but it could definitely be a good filler for a deck if you're looking to get 60 cards in your deck.

Aipom -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Aipom from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Aipom is a basic, colorless 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.  Aipom does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Double Hit which takes one colorless energy card and does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Aipom is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Ambipom, I would recommend keeping Aipom on your bench and evolving it into Ambipom(which I'll be reviewing tomorrow) before moving it into the active Pokemon spot.  If you have to put Aipom into the active Pokemon spot, I would recommend using Double Hit every turn because it because that is the only move this card has.  I might consider using this card on its own, if I need to add one Pokemon card to a deck, and since this Pokemon can attack quickly it may be a good card to add to your deck, but I definitely would not rely heavily on this card because it does only have the one move and that move is not certain to do damage every turn.  So I would include 1 at the most of this card in any type deck, but I may include more in a deck if I decide to use Ambipom with this card.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  This card has average everything, hp, retreat cost, resistance amount, and moves.  So there is nothing really that stands out about this card, so use this card at your own peril, it won't do too much good or bad in my opinion.

Hydreigon #98/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Hydreigon from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two consecutive Hydreigon card reviews I'll be doing from this set.  Hydreigon is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150.  Hydreigon is the stage 2 evolution of Zweilous, and before that Deino, both of those Pokemon I have reviewed the past couple of days, and both of those Pokemon are in this set.  Hydreigon has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Unlike yesterday's card which had an Ability, this Hydreigon card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move is called Consume and for three energy cards, two colorless and one darkness, this move does 40 damage and allows you to heal the amount of damage you did to the defending Pokemon using this move from Hydreigon.  Hydreigon's second move is called Destructor Beam and for four energy cards, one psychic, one darkness, and two colorless, this move does 90 damage and if you get a heads when you flip a coin, you may remove an energy card attached to the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Hydreigon is a stage 2 Pokemon, I would recommend evolving Deino into Zweilous and then Zweilous into Hydreigon on your bench.  I would get three or four energy cards on Hydreigon and move it into the active Pokemon spot.  Once there, depending on the amount of energy cards attached to Hydreigon will determine the move you will use.  The hope is to be able to use Destructor Beam every turn, unless the defending Pokemon will be knocked out with 40 damage or less then make sure to use Consume because you'll heal damage from Hydreigon as well when using that move.  After reviewing both Hydreigon cards from this set, both are about equal in my opinion, so I would suggest using a 4-3-2 line of Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon in a deck containing psychic and darkness type Pokemon.  I would use 1 each of the Hydreigon cards from this set.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  This card is very similar to yesterday's Hydreigon card which I gave a 4 out of 5 rating, this card doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves which are both good, plus this card has a high hp that seems even higher if you take into account Consume which will remove damage from Hydreigon.  So after reviewing both cards, I think both Hydreigon cards are worth using, and I would recommend both.

Hydreigon #97/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Hydreigon from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Hydreigon card reviews I'll be doing from this set.  Hydreigon is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150.  Hydreigon is the stage 2 evolution of Zweilous, and before that Deino, both of those Pokemon I have reviewed the past couple of days, and both of those Pokemon are in this set.  Hydreigon has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Hydreigon's Ability is called Dark Trance and it says that as often you like during your turn you may move a darkness energy card attached to 1 of your Pokemon to another one of your Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Hydreigon has only one move called Dragonblast which requires four energy cards, two darkness, one colorless, and one psychic, and does 140 damage, however after using this move you must discard two darkness energy cards attached to this card.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Hydreigon is a stage 2 Pokemon, I would recommend evolving Deino into Zweilous and then Zweilous into Hydreigon on your bench.  I would attach as many darkness energy cards as possible to Hydreigon while it's on the bench and then late in the game, when you need a miracle I would move Hydreigon into the active Pokemon spot and use Dragonblast as many times as possible.  But if you don't need a miracle, it would be smart to get your bench full start attaching energy cards to all those Pokemon and then if you move Hydreigon into the active Pokemon spot you can utilize its Ability and get energy cards on it very quickly so you're able to use Dragonblast almost every turn.  If you choose to use this Hydreigon card in your deck, make sure to have plenty of darkness energy cards as well as some psychic energy cards.  I would suggest using a 3-2-1 line of Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon in a darkness and psychic type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  I think this card is a slightly above average stage 2 Pokemon card. I like how it has above average hp, an extremely good Ability, and one move that does a good amount of damage, even though it is a slow move and will be hard to use every turn.  I'll have to compare this card to tomorrow's Hydreigon card but right now I would definitely recommend using this Pokemon card line in a deck.
