Mega Rayquaza EX 61/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mega Rayquaza EX from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two Mega Rayquaza cards I'll be reviewing from this set, the other being a colorless type card.  Mega Rayquaza EX is a Mega Evolution, EX, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 230. It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mega Rayquaza does not have an Ability but it does have an Ancient Trait that says if Rayquaza is attacked by the following types: grass, water, lightning, or fire, the damage is reduced by 20.  Besides the Ancient Trait, Mega Rayquaza only has one move called Dragon Ascent, this move requires five energy cards to use, three fire and one each of lightning and colorless, and does 300 damage, however, you must discard two energy cards attached to this Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
Before I start with the strategy, remember that this card is a Mega Evolution card and an EX card so if you use this card in your deck and it gets knocked out, your opponent gets to take two prize cards instead of one and when you evolve an EX card into its Mega Evolution, your turn ends, you cannot do anything else.  So knowing these things, you'll always want to use Mega Evolution cards with caution, with that being said, this card can be used with either of the two Rayquaza EX cards from this set but I will only think about the one I reviewed yesterday which requires both fire and lightning type energy cards, the same as this one.  You could use that card on its own since it can do up to 130 damage a turn but if you want some major power in your deck, I would highly recommend setting up Mega Rayquaza on the bench and even getting more than 5 energy cards on this card or figuring out a way to quickly attack an energy card to Rayquaza or even two energy cards to it, while also being able to attach energy cards to other Pokemon, that way, you can knock out any Pokemon your opponent puts out there in one move for sure.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Mega EX Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  I like that this card has a very high HP, relatively low retreat cost, a very good Ancient Trait, and a massively powerful move.  The only downside to this card is that it is extremely slow on the attack, but once you get this card set up, it is a one hit KO waiting to happen.  So if you're building a lightning and fire type deck, I would highly recommend using Rayquaza and Mega Rayquaza EX in it, together I would give these two cards a 4 out of 5 rating.
