Suicune ex -- EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Suicune ex from the EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua set. This is a basic, water type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Suicune doesn't have a Poke-Body or Poke-Power but it does have two moves, the first move is called Energy Flip and for one water energy card you may do ten damage to one of your opponents Pokemon and move an energy card from that Pokemon to one of your opponent's other Pokemon. Suicune's second move is called Reverse Stream which takes three energy cards, two water and one colorless, and does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each energy card you return to your hand if you decide to return all basic energy cards from Suicune ex to your hand.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is definitely one ex card that I don't like at all. I don't like the artwork for some reason, it just doesn't do anything for me. I think Suicune looks too skinny to be a Pokemon. Besides the bad artwork, neither of its moves are very good, you don't want to attach three energy cards to Suicune then do 80 damage and not be able to use that move for 3 more turns. So if you're looking for an ex card to use in an unlimited format look elsewhere. I do have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $10, isn't sold on Professor-Oak, and is $36.74 PokeOrder.

Sceptile ex -- EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sceptile ex from the EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua set. This is a stage 2, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 150. It has a x2 weakness to both fire and grass type Pokemon, a -30 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Sceptile has three moves, the first move is called Green Heal and for one grass energy card you may remove 4 damage counters that have at least one grass energy card attached to them. Sceptile's second move is called Poison Ring which takes three energy cards, two colorless and one grass, and does 40 damage and makes the defending Pokemon poisoned and unable to retreat until after their next turn. Sceptile's third and final move is called Slashing Strike which takes five energy cards, three colorless and two grass and does 100 damage. However Sceptile can't use this move two turns in a row.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
I like that this card has a plethora of moves to choose from, these moves can inflict massive damage, poison Pokemon, and heal your own Pokemon. If you have patience with this card you can really do some damage using Slashing Strike one turn, then healing all your grass Pokemon the next turn with Green Heal. The artwork on this card which is done by Hikaru Koike is interesting. I really like th background and how part of Sceptile's body blends right into it, but I don't like how Sceptile looks, it looks extremely confused and not powerful or intimidating at all. I don't think I have this ex card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $10, isn't sold on Professor-Oak and $56.99 on PokeOrder.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
The other ex cards from this set are: Blaziken, Cradily, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, and Swampert.

Raikou ex -- EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Raikou ex from the EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua set. This is a basic, electric type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Raikou doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Dazzle Blast and for one electric energy card does 10 damage and it also confuses the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin. Raikou's other move is called Lightning Tackle which does 70 damage for three energy cards, two electric and one colorless, however if you get a tails when you flip a coin this move does 20 damage to Raikou.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
I really liked yesterday's Legendary Dog artwork done by Rya Ueda, but today I do not like Raikou's artwork at all, the card looks too cartoony to me, and too dreamy. This card doesn't make Raikou seem very powerful at all. There is just too much going on in the picture for me to like this card. I do like however how this card can do 70 damage every turn no matter what, at the time this card had to have been quite powerful with Lightning Tackle. I don't think I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $8, on Professor-Oak it sells for $25.11 and on PokeOrder it goes for $35.99. So even though I don't think this card looks the best, the price is one of the higher ones from this set.

Entei ex -- Team Magma vs. Team Aqua Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Entei ex from the EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua set. This is a basic, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Entei doesn't have a Poke-Body or Poke-Power but it does have two moves, the first move is called Searing Flame which does 10 damage for one fire energy card and also burns the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin. Entei's second move is called Bright Flame which does 90 damage for three energy cards, two fire and one colorless, however after using this move you must discard 2 energy cards attached to Entei.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
This is one very cool looking ex card. I really like the background colors on this card, the gold and red, plus Entei is a cool looking Pokemon in general. So I definitely think Rya Ueda did a good job on this card. Besides the artwork, this card can do quite a bit of damage however it probably can't do 90 damage every turn so you'll either want to stock up energy cards on Entei ex before attacking or figure out a way to attach more than one energy card to Entei ex per turn. This card is definitely one of my favorite cards from this set. I am quite positive I have this card in my collection.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $8, on Professor-Oak it sells for $11.00 and on PokeOrder it goes for $35.99.

Cradily ex -- EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cradily ex from the EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua set. This is a stage 2, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 150. It has a x2 weakness to both fire and water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Cradily's Poke-Body is called Primal Vibes which says that as long as Cradily is your active Pokemon your opponent can't play any Pokemon from their hand to evolve one of their Pokemon in play. Besides the Poke-Body, Cradily has two moves, the first move is called Eerie Light which does 30 damage for two colorless energy cards and makes the defending Pokemon confused. Cradily's second move is called Acidic Poison and does 60 damage plus poisons and burns the defending Pokemon for four energy cards, two each of grass and colorless.

PrimetimePokemon's Take:
Stats-wise, this card is pretty similar to the Blaziken ex card I reviewed yesterday. This card is a great card to use against a deck that uses a lot of stage 2 Pokemon, all you need to do is get Cradily ex into the active Pokemon as soon as possible and then its Poke-Body will prevent your opponent from being able to evolve their Pokemon. Both of Cradily's moves are good, both do a fair amount of damage and inflict tons of special conditions. The artwork on this card was done by Ryo Ueda and is okay. If you really look close at the artwork it looks like Cradily is one of those Chinese dragons in the parade's you see, and the colors are somewhat girly.

Pokemon Card Price:
This card sells on eBay for around $5, on Professor-Oak it sells for $15.32 and it isn't sold on PokeOrder.

Other ex Pokemon Cards in this set:
