Since Alakazam's Doing Yu-gi-oh COTD Might as well i'll do a Card of the day as well. But this is for Pokemon though. So Let's Get Started.

Card 19/87 Dragon EX
Name: Salamence
Evolves from Shelgon (Stage 2)
Type: Colorless
HP: 100
Weakness: none
Resistance: none
Retreat Cost: (C)(C)
Poke-Body: Intimidating Fang- As long as Salamence is your Active Pokemon, any damage done to your Pokemon by an opponent's attack is reduced by 10 (before applying Weakness and Resistance).
(R)(W)(C) Dragon Flame 40+ You may discard an Energy card attached to Salamence. If you do, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage.
Rarity: Rare
This is a Good Card on the Dragon EX Set for many Reasons. By It's Retreat Cost For a Stage 2, Salamence can Retreat Early. It's Dragon Flame Attack is Much Like the Other Salamence but has to discard an Energy to do the 60 Damage. His Poke-Body is ok. A Good all Round Dragon Card.

I've got two of these guys but I only use one of them in my deck. The 40 damage from Dragon Flame is really just enough to make mincemeat of your opponents. If they get out a Pokemon that could be a possible threat of taking Salamence out, simply just keep jacking up your damage to 60.
The 100 HP and the BODY that reduces the damage by 10 will keep Salamence in the game long enough to do some damage. In all, its a very nice card to have, and has done well for me.
It's funny that they say "Before applying weakness and resistance" on the Pokebody where there really aren't any...

I was going to make one of these, but I couldn't put the pic in my post.
Either way, Salamence is an okay pokemon. Intimidating Fang makes salamence's 100 HP last a bit and whatever other pokemon you have. Dragon Flame only does 40, and considering it requires 2 different types of energy, it should do more, but if you discard an energy card, it does 60. The option saves this card. Good if used right, but if not.. 7/10

New Card of the Day today. I'm gonna do another one on Thursday so keep ya eyes peeled. Todays card is Zangoose from the Sandstorm Set.
http://www.pokeschool.com/tcg/scans/ex_sandstorm/014%20zangoose.jpg
This Card has some up's and Down's. Firstly his Poke-Body will make Poison Attacks Useless so Poison Pokemon Beware. Also This Aims Cleary on either Seviper or an Evolution Pokemon { But the Evolution Pokemon will take 60 Damage for 3 * } it's Down spot is also on about his Targets. It will not Effect on Basic's so the Legendaire Bird's, Dog's and Mewtwo and Celebi will have a Easy Target for this Pokemon.
Star Rating {Out of 5} : *** 3 Stars.

I really don't like the Salamence too much...it just doesn't have very much firepower, but I like ther Zangoose much more; it'd be a quick late-game powerhouse.

Zangoose is real good for taking out Salamence and Flygon, taking them out in one hit! He is an alright Pokemon to play with, but not that much peeps use Seviper against him. The only thing I really like about him is the Poison Resistance, that will help at times when you are going against a Poison deck. :)

Zangoose has advantages if it's a Seviper or if it's a evolved. :dance: So it can do more damage if it's either those 2 I just said too bad I don't have it. :cry:

Sorry for the delay guys. My Parnets drove me to the Hospital since my Head got shot by a Pellet Gun { Luckliy i survived and that was why i had to forfit a battle. Soz Tamer and JT } k now for the Card of the day. This card is from the new Magma vs Aqua Series. Say Hello to Entei EX.
http://www.pokeschool.com/tcg/scans/ex_magma_aqua/91.jpg
As for Starters this is your regular Fire type and Entei has 100hp, a raise from the normal cards from Entei { Having 80hp } Moves are Basic like Searing Flame. In which your opponent gets burned and 10 damage with just 1 fire energy but the Main and Beauty Attack is Bright Flame dealing 90 Damage with 3 energys but discarding 2 which is fair. Overall this is a original Fire Type with a Kick ass attack
Star Rating - **** 4/5 stars.

I don't think this Entei should be considered an Ex, hes not that good. Bright Flame would have made him much better if he only had to discard 1 Fire Energy. I think he is a good Basic Pokemon, but a waste as an Ex Pokemon. He is something that will get picked off fast for 2 prizes. :cool:

New Card of the Day today. It from the Magma vs Aqua Set and it's one of my Favourites. Raichu!
http://www.pokeschool.com/tcg/scans/ex_magma_aqua/13.jpg
So there's 2 Attacks which is usual of course and 80Hp, a alright HP For Stage 1. Now Spark is more for the Benched Pokemon adding 20 to the Defending Poke. 10 Damage to the Bench and 20 to Defending a ok attack but not my Type. Kerzap is a Revived Attack from the Gym Saga but a Major Upgrade. Instead of 20 Damage it's Up to 40 making it 80 if you get Heads. A good attack against big EX Enemy's { Especially Waliord EX } and a note on the Art: It's sooooooooooooo Cute!
It's a Must for a Raichu/Electric Fanatic.
Stars: **** 4

Welcome to new card of da day with me A B Xtreme but enough with da Fancy Talk time for da card. Still it's from The Magma/Aqua Series
http://www.pokeschool.com/tcg/scans/ex_magma_aqua/07.jpg
Since I've got the Magma Deck this is the Shiny in which you'll have in the Magma Decks. It's a Ok Card by the Looks of it and has a Good Attack { Crush and Land Stream } And HP Rate. But Weakness is a Bad Point. Grass and Water can shut it down easy making Aggron Weak.
It's Ok But the Only Problem It's his Weakness. So Becareful Magma Players

Why are noobs so stupid?! I don't get how people can be this stupid!
1) Don't double post.
2) There is no selling cards on these forums.
3) This thread is 3 months old.
4) Your post does not fit the thread topic.
