Pokemon Card of the Day - Pokemon Tips - Pojo.com

Blaziken ex is a solid card. Combine with RS Blaziken for even more fun. First attack is decent, nothing special. Second attack is great, though. 100 damage to anything. If you can get him up quick, and with Blaze RS you can, you can stop your opponent from getting his deck going.

Works well in a straight Blaziken deck, as an added hitter in BAR or Blaze/Tails.

Unlimited 1/5
Modified 4/5
Limited 3.5/5 If you can get him up you'll win. The key is getting him and getting him up.

Once again, Blaziken ex.

Overview: The Pokemon said to be unstoppable and wanted banned by Jermy101 as well as numerous others. Lets just see how good it really is. Blaze Kick for 1 fire and 1 colorless dowes 30 damage automaticly, plus a coin is tossed. Gasp! If heads, it does 20 more damage, bringing the total to 50. And if tails...ohhh if it is Tails... it does 30 damage and the defending Pokemon is now burned. If that isn't broken, I don't know what is. Then for 2 fire and 2 colorless, Volcanic Ash makes you discard 2 Fire energy attached to Blaziken ex. For what you may ask? For those 2 energy, you get to do 100 damage to any of your opponent's Pokemon. Don't apply weakness or resistance for benched. Wow. Just wow. JUST FOLD and Never speak to me again. This card SHOULD be banned. Plus, it has an awesome amount of HP, 150. Not only are the attacks simply tremendous, the HP also blows me away. And, a retreat of 0NLY 2 IS AMAZING. 150HP stage 2 with only an HP of 2. There are still a few drawbacks for playing this card though. One being, the 2 weaknesses. With such a high HP, this Pokemon is weak to Water and Psychic. That makes Gardevoir and Suicune ex a SLIGHT problem. And an ex Pokemon. If this is knocked out, it gets 2 prizes, though I doubt knocking it out will be much of a problem. One thing that possibly COULD knock it out easily is Misdreavus/Dark Gengar in Unlimited. Put it to sleep, then if it fails on flips, Perrish Song gets rid of it. Nice little technique there, but it requires risk and the test that Misdreavus or Dark Gengar will still be in play after this baby gets started.

Unlimited: SER makes this card a little weak, as well does Blastoise, and the whole Misdreavus/Dark Gengar combo. Not to mention the 2 weaknesses and it being an ex. I would stick just to Typhlosion from Neo Genesis in this format. 3/5

Modified: Gardevoir could make a small problem, as could Feraligatr, but other than that, this card is unstoppable and probably WILL takeover the Modified format. 4.5/5

Draft: Being a stage 2, it will be hard to draft, but if you are able to draft all the stages, please, play it. If not, someone else will and your butt will be toast ;x. 2.5/5

Sealed Deck: Doing a sealed deck with Team Aqua Vs Team Magma only, it is impossible to play this card, as the other stages arent in the set(I found that to be a tad stupid...), but if your sealed decking with other sets, and can draft all the stages, play this card. End of story. 3/5
