Roselia #13/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Roselia from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two consecutive Roselia Pokemon card reviews from this set.  Roselia is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  Its stage 1 evolution is Roserade and there are two Roserade cards in this set as well.  Roselia has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Roselia does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Needling Sting which takes two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, and does 10 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Roselia is a basic Pokemon card that has two evolution cards in this set, I would not use Roselia in the active Pokemon spot if I didn't have to, I would start putting energy cards on Roselia, one or two, and leave Roselia on the bench until it evolves into one of the two Roserade cards.  If you have to put Roselia into the active Pokemon spot the strategy is quite simple, the only thing you can do is use Needling Sting.  It is too early to say how many of each Pokemon in this line you would put in a grass type deck, but if you're looking to use just Roselia in a deck, I wouldn't use more than 1 at this point, even after reviewing both Roselia cards I wouldn't use more than 1.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  This card is a below average, basic Pokemon card.  Both Roselia cards I've reviewed these past two days aren't very good, they both have good hp but that is about it, this card can't do much damage, at least guaranteed damage, so I would not use this card unless you are going to use Roserade.

Dustox -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dustox from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Dustox is a stage 2, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  Dustox evolves from Wurmple and then into Cascoon which evolves into Dustox.  I have reviewed both of those other Pokemon from this set the past few days.  Dustox has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistacne type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Dustox does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves, the first move is called Hazardous Scales and for one psychic energy card this move puts the defending Pokemon to sleep, as well as burns and poisons that Pokemon.  Dustox's second move is called Aerial Ace which takes three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, and does 50 damage plus 30 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Dustox is a stage 2 Pokemon, you'll want to evolve Wurmple into Cascoon and then Cascoon into Dustox on the bench so you can start attacking right away when you put Dustox into the active Pokemon spot and not worry about getting knocked out after one move.  Even though Dustox's two prevolutions in the set are both grass type Pokemon, they only require colorless energy cards so make sure to attach psychic energy cards to them.  When using Dustox, I would use Hazardous Scales first, unless the Pokemon has 100 hp or less, then I would use Aerial Ace two turns in a row.  I would use this card preferably in a grass and psychic type deck that had many Pokemon that could inflict special conditions on your opponent's Pokemon.  By using this card in a grass and psychic type deck you can use 4 Wurmple, 2 each of Cascoon and Silcoon, and 2 each of Beautifly and Dustox.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average stage 2 Pokemon card.  I like Dustox's first move Hazardous Scales since it only requires one energy card and can inflict 3 special conditions, but to evolve a Pokemon to its stage 2 evolution just to use this move isn't worth it, so your best bet is to be lucky and get a couple of heads when you're using Aerial Ace, otherwise it wouldn't be worth using this card if it could only do 50 damage every turn.  I do like this card's retreat and hp they are both better than average.

Roselia #12/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Roselia from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Roselia Pokemon card reviews from this set.  Roselia is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  Its stage 1 evolution is Roserade and there are two Roserade cards in this set as well.  Roselia has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to water type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Roselia does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Double Whip and for one colorless energy card this move does 10 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.  Roselia's second move is called Relaxing Fragrance which takes one grass energy card and removes 30 damage and heals all special conditions from this Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Roselia is a basic Pokemon card that has two evolution cards in this set, I would not use Roselia in the active Pokemon spot if I didn't have to, I would start putting energy cards on Roselia, one or two, and leave Roselia on the bench until it evolves into one of the two Roserade cards.  If you have to put Roselia into the active Pokemon spot the strategy is quite simple, I would attack with Double Whip until I either can evolve it into Roserade, or until I have a special condition on Roselia or am about to be knocked out, in that case I would use Relaxing Fragrance instead of Double Whip.  It is too early to say how many of each Pokemon in this line you would put in a grass type deck, but if you're looking to use just Roselia in a deck, I wouldn't use more than 1 at this point.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  This card is a below average, basic Pokemon card.  There are a few good things about this card, it does have a good hp, one average move, and a low retreat cost, however the reason I'm giving this card a low rating is because it can't do much damage, and the little damage it can do isn't guaranteed.  I would rather have a Pokemon that is guaranteed to do 20 damage a turn as their only move than a Pokemon like this one that has two moves and the move that does damage isn't guaranteed.

Nincada -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Nincada from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Nincada is a basic, grass type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  It has two stage 1 evolutions in this set, they are Shedinja and Ninjask.  I'll be reviewing both of those cards the next two days.  Nincada has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Nincada does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Dig which does 10 damage for a colorless energy card.  Besides doing the damage, if you get a heads when you flip a coin, this move prevents Nincada from being attacked the next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Nincada is a basic Pokemon card that has two evolutions in this set, I would not use Nincada in the active Pokemon spot if I didn't have to, I would start putting energy cards on Nincada, psychic for Shedinja or grass for Ninjask, and leave Nincada on the bench until it evolves into one of those Pokemon.  If you have to put Nincada into the active Pokemon spot you have no choice but to use Dig.  I would not use Nincada on its own in any deck, I would pair the card with either or both of its evolutions, you'll see tomorrow how exactly I would use this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  This card is a below average, basic Pokemon card.  It has a very low hp, and a decent move, this card would get knocked out almost instantly if it didn't have the effect besides doing damage with Dig, but if you aren't lucky and don't flip a heads, you can say good bye to this card, so make sure to keep this card on your bench if you can.

Shedinja -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Shedinja from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Shedinja is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60.  It does not have a weakness, resistance or retreat cost.  Shedinja is one of two evolutions of Nincada, I reviewed Nincada's other stage 1 evolution in Ninjask yesterday.  Shedinja's Ability is called Empty Shell and says that if Shedinja is knocked out your opponent can't take any prize cards for knocking this Pokemon out.  Besides the Ability, Shedinja has one move called Cursed Drop which takes one psychic energy card and does 30 damage to any of your opponent's Pokemon in any way you would like to distribute that 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Shedinja is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you need to evolve a Nincada to be abe to use Shedinja.  There are two ways you can do this, the first is the standard way of having Nincada on the bench or in the active Pokemon spot and moving Shedinja from your hand and putting it on top of Nincada, the other way is to have Nincada on the bench or in the active Pokemon spot, evolve Nincada into Ninjask and use Ninjask's Ability to search your deck or hand for Shedinja and put it onto your bench without placing it on Nincada first.  I would recommend the second method of getting Shedinja into play, this way you can evolve Pokemon quicker and evolve two Pokemon at once, with only needing one basic Pokemon card.  I would use Shedinja in a grass and psychic type deck, like I mentioned yesterday, I would include this card with Nincada and Ninjask (both grass type Pokemon) and Dustox (psychic type) and Beautifly (grass type).  I would include other Pokemon in this deck that can spread damage, and I would try to move Shedinja into the active Pokemon spot whenever the defending Pokemon can't do much damage, I would use Cursed Drop a time or two then retreat it for free.  I would do this throughout the entire game until Shedinja is knocked out.  That way it will be that much easier for my other Pokemon to knock out my opponent's Pokemon because almost all of them coming into the active Pokemon spot should have previous damage on them.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  Like yesterday, this card has a very low hp for a stage 1 Pokemon card, but since this Pokemon basically doesn't count if it is knocked out, this isn't as big of deal to me as it is with Ninjask.  That is why I'm giving this card a better rating than Ninjask.  Pluses on this card also include the ability to spread damage, and the fact that this card has no weakness or retreat cost.

Ninjask -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ninjask from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Ninjask is a stage 1, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Ninjask is one of two evolutions of Nincada, I will be reviewing Nincada's other evolution in Shedinja tomorrow.  Ninjask's Ability is called Cast-off Shell and says that when you move this Pokemon from your hand to evolve Nincada, you find Shedinja in your deck and put it onto the active Pokemon spot, you don't even have to evolve it from Nincada.  Besides the Ability, Ninjask only has one move called Night Slash which does 60 damage for two energy cards, one each of grass and colorless, besides doing the damage you may choose to switch Ninjask with one of your benched Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ninjask's Ability mentions Shedinja in it, I would recommend having at least one Shedinja in the same deck you have Ninjask and Nincada in, thus it would be best to have these Pokemon cards in a psychic and grass type deck, and these cards would work well in a deck with Dustox and Beautifly in.  I would keep Nincada on the bench, evolve Nincada into Ninjask, move Shedinja to the bench, and then eventually move Ninjask to the active Pokemon spot.  I would try and get Ninjask out earlier in the game so it is facing weaker Pokemon and then can do 60 damage one turn with Night Slash and switch out that same turn, thus being able to last longer in the game without getting knocked out.  So if I were to use Ninjask in a deck, I would use a 2-2 line of Nincada and Ninjask.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  After pondering whether to give this card a higher rating I just couldn't get over the fact that it had only 60 hp, so I decided on giving it an average rating, even though it can attack very quickly and do a great amount of damage while retreating basically for free after attacking, and it helps you get a non-basic Pokemon into play without evolving it.
