Chandelure EX -- Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Chandelure EX from the Legendary Treasures Pokemon Card Set.  This is actually the first card I have reviewed from this set, since most cards are reprints in this set, I'll only be reviewing a select number of the cards from the set, and should start reviewing the X and Y cards quite soon.  Chandelure EX is a basic, EX, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 170. It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Chandelure EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Cursed Drop, for one psychic energy card this move allows you to put four damage counters on your opponent's Pokemon in any way you like.  Chandelure's second move is called Eerie Glow, this move requires three energy cards, two psychic and one colorless, and does 70 damage plus burns and confuses the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Chandelure EX is a basic Pokemon card you won't need to use any other cards with this card.  But remember, because this card is an EX card, if this card is knocked out, two prize cards are taken instead of one.  So knowing this, if you want to build a spread damage type deck, this card is the card you should build that deck around, it will wreak havoc on all opposing decks out there.  So I would put at least 2 of these EX cards in that spread damage type deck, at least part of the deck will be psychic type Pokemon.  Then to start the game, I would hope to get Chandelure into the active Pokemon spot and use Cursed Drop the first couple of turns to get damage on your opponent's benched Pokemon, I wouldn't put any damage counter's on their active Pokemon especially if you're using Chandelure early in the game and it would get one hit KO'd by Eerie Glow.  So I would used Cursed Drop several turns until I want to knock out the defending Pokemon then I would use Eerie Glow.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very good EX card from the Legendary Treasures set and one that should be in every single spread damage type deck out there.  Both of its moves do way above average damage, it doesn't require many energy cards to attack, and Chandelure has an excellent hp and fairly low retreat cost.  So you cannot go wrong by using this card in your deck!

Chatot -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Chatot from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Chatot is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Chatot does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Misinformation, for one colorless energy card this move allows you to discard all of your opponent's Pokemon Tool cards that they have in play.  Chatot's second move is called Tone-Deaf, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage, plus it confuses the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Chatot is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, this card would be an average starter type Pokemon card to get into your deck, because the only move worth using on this card requires two energy cards, I would only use 1 or 2 of these in a deck maximum.  I would try and get this card into the active Pokemon spot as soon as possible so I could use Tone-Deaf and not only do 20 damage a turn against the defending Pokemon, but possibly have my opponent not want to attack or attack itself because it is confused.  Misinformation doesn't do much for me because you aren't going to want to use this card late in games, and early on in games your opponent won't have many, if any, Tool cards in play.  Since this card is a colorless type card, it will fit in any type deck, but again, I would keep these to a minimum if you do add them to your deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the Plasma Blast set.  This card is quite average with 60 hp, and two moves, one below average and one above average.  This card would be usable in a deck because it is a colorless card and Tone-Deaf can do quite a bit of damage potentially early on and late in games if you're in desperation mode.

Ursaring -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ursaring from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Ursaring is a stage 1, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Ursaring does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Adrenalash, for three colorless energy cards, this move does 50 damage, however the turn after using Adrenalash, each of Ursaring's attacks does 50 more damage.  Ursaring's second move is called Strength, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 80 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ursaring is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Teddiursa into play (I reviewed Teddiursa from this set yesterday) and then evolve Teddiursa into Ursaring.  If you read yesterday's review, you'll know that I thought Teddiursa was a slightly below average basic Pokemon card that probably shouldn't be used on its own.  Because this card shouldn't be used on its own and the fact that Ursaring requires a lot of energy cards to attack, I would set this line up on the bench.  I would get at least three energy cards on Ursaring before moving it to the active Pokemon spot, that way when I would move Ursaring into that spot, I would use Adrenalash the first turn, and Strength the next turn, of course adding another energy card.  That way you could do 180 damage in two turns.  However, if the defending Pokemon would be knocked out by 80 damage definitely use Strength right away, you do not have to alternate between the two moves.  I would definitely consider using this Pokemon family in any type deck I was building.  These two Pokemon, especially Ursaring can really pack a punch, because of this I would include a 2-2 or 2-1 line of Teddiursa nad Ursaring in my deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average stage 1 Pokemon card from the Plasma Blast set.  I would definitely recommend using this card in decks where you're looking for some power from your Pokemon.  I really like how Ursaring's two moves were in tandem doing an amazing 180 every two turns.  This card can fit into any deck and can do some major damage, just make sure to give this Pokemon some time to set up and you will be golden.  Overall, I would give the line of Teddiursa and Ursaring from the Plasma Blast set a 4 out of 5 rating, together the cards are pretty great, individually, Teddiursa was a 2, Ursaring a 4.

Teddiursa -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Teddiursa from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Teddiursa is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Teddiursa does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move this card has is called Fury Swipes, for two colorless energy cards, this move does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip three coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Teddiursa is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Ursaring, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So on its own, I would not recommend using this card in a deck.  I say this because even though Teddiursa has a high hp for a basic Pokemon, it only has one move, and that one move does not guarantee that it can do damage every turn and even if you get really lucky and get three heads when using the move, being able to do 30 damage for two energy cards isn't that great of move.  So for those reasons I would not use this card in a deck on its own.  If you choose to use this card in a deck, it can be used in any type of deck since it requires colorless energy cards to attack.  I would recommend only using 1 of these cards maximum for the reasons I stated above, when you get this card into the active Pokemon spot, your only choice will be to use Fury Swipes every turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card.  There are only two good things about this card, the hp is good, and the fact that it is a colorless type Pokemon card is also good.  The negatives on this card are abundant, Fury Swipes may end up doing 0 damage every turn for you, Teddiursa only has one move, and if you get this card into the active Pokemon spot, you'll have to discard two energy cards to get it out of that spot.  So again, this card is slightly below average and a card that I would not use in a deck on its own.
