Wigglytuff ex – EX Hidden Legends Pokemon Card Review

Wigglytuff ex Pokemon Card EX Hidden Legends SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Wigglytuff ex from the EX Hidden Legends set. This is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Wigglytuff doesn’t have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Sleepy Song which takes two colorless energy cards, does 30 damage and puts the defending Pokemon to sleep. Wigglytuff’s second move is called Do the Wave and for three colorless energy cards it does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each of your benched Pokemon.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
I like the overall color scheme on this card, it has a rainbow look to the entire card which I really like the looks of. Wigglytuff as always looks pretty clueless in the picture but that is nothing new. Ryo Ueda did an excellent job with this card. Since Wigglytuff has a low retreat cost you could always move it into play, make the defending Pokemon asleep and then depending on if you have a full bench or not use Do the Wave or retreat it and attack with one of your other Pokemon, possibly one that does spread damage so it doesn’t knock out the defending Pokemon and that defending Pokemon stays asleep.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $4, on Professor-Oak it sells for $10.80 and $8.99 on PokeOrder.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
The other ex cards from this set are: Groudon, Kyogre, Metagross, Ninetales, Regice, Regirock, Registeel, and Vileplume.

Vileplume ex – EX Hidden Legends Pokemon Card Review

Vileplume ex Pokemon Card EX Hidden Legends SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vileplume ex from the EX Hidden Legends set. This is a stage 2, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 140. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Vileplume’s Poke-Body is called Block Dust which says that as long as Vileplume is your active Pokemon your opponent can’t play any trainer cards. Besides the Poke-Body, Vileplume has one move called Special Formula which takes three energy cards, two colorless and one grass, and does 50 damage. Besides doing the damage, you may flip a coin when executing this move, if you get a heads, the defending Pokemon is put to sleep and poisoned, if you get a tails, the defending Pokemon is confused.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
Even though I really liked the ex designs of the three Regi’s, it is nice to get back to the familiar bubble pattern on the ex cards. The artwork is pretty simple on this card and I like the simplicity of it with the solid green background behind Vileplume. Ryo Ueda did a very well job on this card. Battle wise, this card would be perfect in a deck that annoys the defending player, throw this card in with other cards that inflict special conditions and your opponent will be begging you to ease up on them within a few minutes of play.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $15.32 and $18.74 on PokeOrder.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:

Registeel ex – EX Hidden Legends Pokemon Card Review

Registeel ex Pokemon Card EX Hidden Legends SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Registeel ex from the EX Hidden Legends set. This is a basic, metal type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to grass type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Registeel’s Poke-Body is called Exoskeleton which says that any attacks done to Registeel are reduced by 10. Besides the Poke-Body, Registeel has one move called Steel Wave which takes two metal type energy cards and one colorless energy card and does 50 damage plus it does 20 damage to each of your opponent’s benched Pokemon.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
Once again I really like the design of this card and the artwork as well. I like the coloring of the artwork very well and the lighting on Registeel makes you wonder if it is holding something in its hand that you can’t see. This card would be perfect to play with Metagross ex since that card can do 40 damage to all your opponent’s benched Pokemon one at a time and then this card would do 20 damage to all your opponent’s Pokemon at once possibly knocking out a few of them in a turn or two. If you were to use this card for some reason make sure to include it in a spread damage type deck.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $10, on Professor-Oak it sells for $21.11 and $22.49 on PokeOrder.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:

Regirock ex – EX Hidden Legends Pokemon Card Review

Regirock ex Pokemon Card EX Hidden Legends SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Regirock ex from the EX Hidden Legends set. This is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Regirock’s Poke-Body is called Healing Stone and says that any time between turns you may remove one damage counter from Regirock. Besides the Poke-Body, Regirock has one move called Tonnage which takes three energy cards, two fighting and one colorless, and does 60 damage plus 20 more damage if you want to do 30 damage to Regirock.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
Like Regice ex from yesterday, I like the ex design of this card. Once again, I like the background of the actually artwork but the Pokemon is too jumbled in the picture for my liking. Plus, all the Regi’s are weird looking Pokemon to begin with. Even if I could play this card today, I don’t know if I would, there really isn’t anything special about this card and with only 100 hp, I don’t know if I’d ever want to do 30 damage to Regirock just to do 20 more damage to the defending Pokemon. The only good thing about this card is its Poke-Body which can remove 10 damage per turn from Regirock.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $4, on Professor-Oak it sells for $15.12 and is sold out on PokeOrder.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:

Regice ex – EX Hidden Legends Pokemon Card Review

Regice ex Pokemon Card EX Hidden Legends SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Regice ex from the EX Hidden Legends set. This is a basic, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Regice’s Poke-Body is called Crystal Body and says that all effects of attacks except for damage are prevented on Regice. Besides the Poke-Body, Regice’s only move is called Freeze Lock which takes three energy cards, two water and one colorless and does 60 damage and if you get a heads when you flip a coin your opponent can’t attach any energy cards to their Pokemon during their next turn.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
The first thing I want to say about this card is I really like the design of the card. I like how the ex pattern is full of shimmering polygons all over the card, I wish all ex cards looked like this. The artwork of this card is so-so, I like the background colors of the card, but Regice looks like a total mess, it looks as if Regice just got attacked and is exploding in the picture. Besides the artwork, this is a pretty simple card that could be useful for one spot in a water type deck since it can’t be affected by special conditions and can dole out a hefty 60 damage.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $19.14 and $22.49 on PokeOrder.

Ninetales ex – EX Hidden Legends Pokemon Card Review

Ninetales ex Pokemon Card EX Hidden Legends SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ninetales ex from the EX Hidden Legends set. This is a stage 1, fire type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Ninetales doesn’t have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Intense Glare and for one colorless energy card it makes your opponent switch their active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon, when this benched Pokemon is put into the active Pokemon spot that Pokemon is now burned and confused. Ninetales second move is called Fire Blast and for four energy cards, three colorless and one fire it does 100 damage, after performing the attack, Ninetales must discard one fire energy card from it.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
I’m surprised at how quickly the ex cards in this set are improving, Metagross yesterday and Ninetales today both can do quite a bit of damage, much more than Kyogre and Groudon from this set. I would even consider in an unlimited format to make a metal and fire type deck just so I could combine Ninetales and Metagross ex, I would put 40 damage on as many Pokemon of my opponent’s as possible with Metagross then I would put Ninetales in and use Fire Blast to knock that Pokemon out and then the next turn if I couldn’t attack with Fire Blast again I would just use Intense Glare. I really like the artwork on this card with was done by Rya Ueda, I like the red glare of Ninetales eyes, it looks like it is just about to attack. I know I have this ex card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $12, on Professor-Oak it sells for $21.65 and $18.74 on PokeOrder.

Metagross ex – EX Hidden Legends Pokemon Card Review

Metagross ex Pokemon Card EX Hidden Legends SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Metagross ex from the EX Hidden Legends set. This is a stage 2, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 150. It has a x2 weakness to both fire and fighting type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to grass type Pokemon, and a four colorless energy card retreat cost. Metagross doesn’t have a Poke-Body or Poke-Power but it does have two moves, the first move is called Metal Reversal which takes two energy cards, one each of colorless and metal and does 40 damage to the defending Pokemon, before attacking you may choose to attack the defending Pokemon or have your opponent put in a different Pokemon and attack that Pokemon instead. Metagross’ second move is called Extra Comet Punch which takes four energy cards, two each of metal and colorless and does 50 damage, the next turn Extra Comet Punch does 100 damage instead of 50.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
If this card were playable today I would definitely use it. I really like the move Extra Comet Punch being able to do 150 damage every two turns. You just have to be patient and set up Metagross on your bench, as soon as it gets four energy cards on it put it in the active Pokemon spot and start knocking out your opponent’s Pokemon. This card also wouldn’t be bad in a spread damage type deck because you can use Metal Reversal numerous times to get 40 damage on almost all your opponent’s Pokemon and then put in a Pokemon card that does let’s say 20 damage to all of your opponent’s benched Pokemon. The artwork on this card is okay, I like the background colors but I don’t like how Metagross is basically facing you straight on, not at an angle at all, the artwork makes Metagross look too simple. I do have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $7, on Professor-Oak it sells for $20.64 and $22.49 on PokeOrder.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:

Kyogre ex – EX Hidden Legends Pokemon Card Review

Kyogre ex Pokemon Card EX Hidden Legends SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kyogre ex from the EX Hidden Legends set. This is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Kyogre has the same Poke-Body as Groudon from yesterday. It is called Mark of Antiquity and says that as long as Kyogre ex is your active Pokemon, Groudon ex and Rayquaza ex cannot attack. Besides the Poke-Body, Kyogre has two moves, the first move is called Water Arrow which takes two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage to one of your opponent’s Pokemon. Kyogre’s other move is called Super Tidal Wave and for three energy cards, two water and one colorless it does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each energy card in your hand, after doing the attack you must shuffle all the energy cards in your hand back into your deck.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
Just like yesterday, for a Legendary EX Pokemon card this card isn't too great, 20 damage to any of your opponent’s Pokemon isn’t a very powerful move and why would you want to use Super Tidal Wave if you have to move all your energy cards in your hand to your deck? As far as the artwork goes I like this card quite a bit better than Groudon ex. The artwork which is done by Hikaru Koike looks good, it makes Kyogre look like the massive Pokemon it is and yet the card almost relaxes you because of the red and blue coloring of the holographic pattern. I do have this ex card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $6, on Professor-Oak it sells for $16.63 and $26.24 on PokeOrder.

Groudon ex -- EX Hidden Legends Pokemon Card Review

Groudon ex Pokemon Card EX Hidden Legends SetPokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Groudon ex from the EX Hidden Legends set. This is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Groudon's Poke-Body is called Mark of Antiquity which says that as long as Groudon is your active Pokemon, Kyogre and Rayquaza ex can't attack. Besides the Poke-Body, Groudon has two moves, the first move is called Rock Tumble which takes two colorless energy cards and does 30 damage. Groudon's second move is called Crushing Mantle which takes three energy cards, two fighting and one colorless, and does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each energy card you choose to discard from your hand.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
For a Legendary EX Pokemon card this card isn't too great, which is probably why this isn't a very expensive ex card to buy. It doesn't do much damage unless you want to discard energy cards so if for some reason you are able to use ex cards in battle this isn't one I would suggest. As far as the artwork goes I don't like it at all. It looks like Groudon is a shark and this artwork reminds me of Sharpedo more than Groudon. The colors give the card an almost emo look. I do have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $9, on Professor-Oak it sells for $16.54 and $22.49 on PokeOrder.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
