Charizard ex?

[Sixto]

I've been browsing the internet and looking at the new TCG cards, from the Ruby and Sapphire deck to the latest one, Magam vs. Aqua set, and I have to say that some of the ex cards are really strong, they have up 200 HP, but thorugh all the new cards I can't seem to find a Charizard ex one. My opinion is that if they do ever make one, I think it will be one of the strongest cards ever. I mean if the regular Charizard had 120HP, imagine how strong it will be if its a Charizard ex. What do you guys think?

That would be one 00-ber card if they did. :razz:

Yes one is coming out soon, here is a link:

The picture there shows Charizard Ex, Blastoise Ex and Venusaur Ex. Charizard is capable of doing 200 damage with 5 Energies. These Exes are coming soon to America, so be prepared for the Charizard craze to begin again. :cool:

Thanx dude, Although I couldn'y read it, I could see the most important part, the Charizard ex card!

Yep, Charizard ex comes out in "Flight of the Legends", which is based off of the games Fire Red/Leaf Green, it's not the next set, but the one that comes out after it (We'll get it in September/October), the card is pretty bad. Here's a loose translation for ya...

Charizard ex
160 HP
Stage 2 Fire Pokémon (Evolves from Charmeleon)

Poké-Body: Energy Burn - All Basic Energy cards attached to Charizard ex provide [R] energy instead of their normal type.

[CCC] Slash - 50 damage.

[RRRRR] Ultra Fire Spin - 200 damage. Discard all energy cards attached to Charizard ex or this attack does nothing. This attack's damage is not affected by Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, Weakness, Resistance, or any other effects on the defending Pokémon.

Weak: Water/Lightning
Resist: None
Retreat: CC

They make just about all Charizard cards the same, and none of them are ever really good, cool card to have, but not really worth using.

Well that happens a lot with large guys anyway. Again, I'm not much of a fan for stage-2s...

In the right deck this card could be vicious. I don't think it's a bad card; quite the contrary. It has the power to KO any single card in the game one hit, regardless of anything. I have a feeling it'll show up when that set rolls around. If people are willing to run two Stage 2 lines with BAR, then I would not be surprised to see people trying BlastoiseEX/CharizardEX combos (Rain Dance all to Charizard every turn) and Fisherman/Magneton'ing back...It'd be an incredibly hard combo to set up but it would be devastating.

[Mega Man]

Well, don't forget, with Blastoise ex Rain Dancing that much energy to Charizard ex every turn, Charizard ex won't live too long.

It's not that it's overall a bad card, it's just that there's better alternatives. 200 damage and discard everything is a pretty fair price, but what would you really need 200 damage for? It's gonna be massive overkill against everything except Wailord ex, plus Charizard ex is gonna be left useless afterwards.

I'd much rather use Swampert ex, attach any 5 basic energy cards, and do a solid 100 damage w/no drawbacks as many times as I want.

[Absolution]

Oh no doubt. I'm just saying people seem to have had an obsession with Charizard since the base set and I'm sure people will attempt a deck with the EX version. As you said it probably is overkill, and with the anti-blaze decks seemingly growing ever-popular a water weakness is becoming somewhat riskier.

Besides, you may be in a situation where you can't give your opponent any chances when it comes to letting their Active Pokémon live, like when you're against a Damage Swap deck and your opponent keeps on pulling off successful Scrunch attacks with a Chansey. Fireball doesn't care about that, it'll just blast little old Channers to kingdom come before your opponent can scoop it up or Damage Swap the counters away.

There are obivously gonna' be other similar situations like this where it could apply, this is just an example.

I just hope that people don't get the Base Set Blastoise's Rain Dance mixed up with Blastoise ex's Energy Dance (for all people who don't know, the difference is that Energy Dance can attach W Energy cards to any Pokémon you have rather than just W types).

Please don't drag up old threads - read the forum rules please, thx.

[P_Meza]

Your prediction was pretty right, actually this card is worth over 60 bucks!

P_Meza, don't revive threads...

Absolution said it, and that was three years ago =/
