Zapdos EX from Plasma Storm (48/135)


This is my first post in a long time! And as a lot of you know I'm starting over my collection! I'm starting fresh with Plasma Storm. So here is your first look at Zapdos EX from the set!
   Zapdos EX is at first glance a great looking card. It's got the blue plasma border and the Team Plasma emblem in the middle. Zapdos has an HP of 170 which is normal for an EX Pokemon. Zapdos is a basic Pokemon with a weakness to its own kind ( electric ) and has a resistance to fighting types. With a very great retreat cost of just 1 energy!
    Zapdos first move is agility, and for 1 electric and 1 colorless you do 30 damage and if you flip heads you prevent all damage and effects done to this Zapdos. The second move is powervolt and for a high energy cost of 4 ( 2  electric and 2 colorless ) this attack does 80 damage. However, if you have plasma energies attached to Zapdos you can do an extra of 40 damage, for a grand total of 120 damage that can be dealt over and over!
     So for strategy I would have maybe 2 Zapdos in your deck and maybe leave them on your bench so you can charge them up. Like all ex cards your opponent gets 2 prize cards when they knock your Pokemon EX out, so be carful in how you use Zapdos. Charge this card up on your bench with the necessary energies and don't forget  the plasma energies! So when you play your Zapdos you can be doing 120 damage at a time!
   Over all I give this card a 4 out of 5 just because of the 4 energies it takes to do powervolt. The retreat is great and the hp is also good! Like I said before I love the new plasma cards! I hope you enjoys today's review of Zapdos EX from plasma storm! Next time I will review Moltres EX from the same set!
