Tatsugiri ex, Hydreigon ex, Jasmine's Gaze + More Cards
0 comments
Hello. This post contains a lot of reveal Pokemon cards from Japan's Supercharged Breaker or the English international set Surging Sparks. Let's take a look.
Tapu Koko
Tapu Koko is a Basic Lightning Pokemon with 120 HP with two attacks. The first attack of Call For Thunder requires one Colourless Energy to let you search for your deck for up to Lightning Pokemon and put them into your hand. This could be good in evolution based Lightning Pokemon decks.
The second attack of Prize Counter does 90 base damage for the cost of two Lightning Energy and one Colourless Energy. If you have more Prize cards remaining than your opponent (opponent is winning) then this attack does 90 more damage which results in 180 damage. The energy requirements are too high for the second attack which makes this Tapu Koko not really playable.
Togepi
Togepi is a 50 HP Basic Psychic Pokemon. Its attack costs too much at two Colourless to do 30 damage.
Togetic
Togetic is a Stage 1 Pokemon that evolves from Togepi. It is of the Psychic type with Fairy types no longer being in the format. For two colourless Energy you have the Drain Kiss attack that deals 30 damage and heals 30 damage from Togetic.
Togekiss
Togekiss is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokemon that evolves from Togetic. Its Speed Wing attack is okay as it does 140 damage for the cost of 3 Colourless Energy. The Wonder Kiss ability is interesting. Whenever your opponent's Active Pokemon is knocked out you flip a coin. If you land heads you take 1 more Prize card for the knockout. The knockouts don't have to be from attacks from Togekiss itself. When the card says the ability does not stack it means that you cannot use more than 1 Wonder Kiss ability from multiple Togekiss. Only one. This ability is interesting but I am not sure if its worth the deck space for this card, Togepi, Toegtic and Rare Candy cards.
Tasugiri ex
Tatsugiri has its own Pokemon ex card. This is one of the weakest Pokemon ex cards so far as it has 160 HP. The first attack of Sneaky Pump does 100 damage and ignores all effects of the opponent's Active Pokemon for one Fire Energy and one Water Energy.
Cinnabar Lure requires one Fire Energy, one Water Energy and one Dark Energy. You look at the top 10 cards of your deck and choose any number of Pokemon you find there to your Bench. With this attack you could bench Evolution Pokemon from deck to Bench while bypassing the normal way of evolving Pokemon. The energy requirements are difficult to meet and if you use this attack there is a good chance that this Tatsugiri gets knocked out in the next turn. I am not sure about this card.
Miltoic ex
This Milotic ex card is interesting. The Sparkling Scales ability allows Milotic ex to prevent all damage and effects done to this Pokemon by your opponent's Tera Pokemon attacks. As more and more cards in the Scarlet & Violet era release more Tera Pokemon will be in the format. Milotic ex would not take damage from popular Tera Pokemon such as:
- Charizard ex
- Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
- Dragapult ex
- Hoopa ex
- Greninja ex (Fighting Tera type)
- Garchomp ex
- Terapagos ex
The attack of Hypno Splash on Milotic ex requires one Water Energy and two Colourless Energy. A somewhat expensive requirement. Hypno Splash does 160 damage with making the opponent's Active Pokemon Asleep. The Asleep condition is pretty annoying for the opponent.
Slakoth
Slakoth is a Basic 60 HP Colourless Pokemon needed to evolve to Vigoroth and to Slaking. The attack of Take it Easy is a non-damaging move that heals 60 damage from itself. Its drawback is that you cannot retreat the Slakoth next turn.
Vigoroth
Vigorth is a 90 HP Stage 1 Colourless Pokemon that evolves from Slakoth. Its only attack is Slashing Claw which does 50 damage for two Colourless Energy.
Slaking ex
Slaking ex is a Stage 2 Pokemon that evolves from Vigoroth. It has a massive 340 HP with a retreat cost of 4. The Great Swing attack costs two Colourless Energy for 280 damage with a drawback of discarding one Energy from Slaking ex itself. The ability is one of those restrictive abilities similar to previous versions of Slaking cards (like Slaking V). Slacking Off ability prevents Slaking ex from attacking if the opponent has no Pokemon ex or Pokemon V in play.
Jasmine's Gaze
With Jasmine's Gaze, each of your Pokemon takes 30 less damage from attacks from opponent's Pokemon. This damage reduction would include Bench hitting attacks as well I would think.
I don't know about this card. If your deck does not plan on attacking very much I suppose this card is okay. Decks that plan to attack often or have one hit knockout power Jasmine's Gaze would not be an option.
Colbur Berry
Colbur Berry is a Tool card that you attach to one of your Pokemon. The Pokemon that this Tool card is attached to takes 60 less damage from the opponent's Dark Pokemon. Once the damage has been dealt then you disard this Tool card.
Because Charizard ex is still a popular metagame deck in the Stellar Crown format, a few decks may include one copy of this Tool card to avoid getting knocked out by Charizard ex (Tera Dark). The Charizard ex player could run a Lost Vaccuum Item card to either remove this tool card or a Jamming Tower Stadium card negate the effect of it.
Deino
Deino is a Dark Basic Pokemon with 70 HP, one retreat cost and Grass weakness. Its attacks are not too threatening.
Zweilous
Zweilous is the Stage 1 Evolution form of Deino. It is of the Dark type with 100 HP, two retreat cost and Grass weakness. The first attack of Stomp Off is like Deino's Stomp Off attack. For one Darkness Energy you discard the top 2 cards of your opponent's deck. The second attack of Darkness Fang requires one Dark Energy and two Colourless Energy to do 60 damage.
Hydreigon ex
Hydreigon ex is the Stage 2 Evolution Pokemon that evolves from Zweilous. It is a Stellar Tera Dark Pokemon with 330 HP, three retreat cost and Grass weakness. The first attack of Crash Heads requires one Dark Energy and one Colourless Energy to do 200 damage plus discard the top 3 cards from the opponent's deck. If you are able to discard opponent's cards that are not easy to retrieve such as Trainer Tool cards then the discard effect can be devastating.
Obsidian is the second attack for Hydreigon ex. It costs one Psychic Energy, one Dark Energy, one Metal Energy and one Colourless Energy. This energy cost requirement is not easy to meet in game and for deck building. Obsidian's attack does 130 damage plus 130 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokemon. This attack is a triple attack for 130 damage each.
