    [PokeCommunity.com] 4/3 - COTD - Raichu EX (EX: Emerald)


    Rate & Review.

    Thanks to Water Pokemon Master from www.pokebeach.com for the scan.
     
    I think it's a well-balanced card, though it'd be more useful with another Raichu ex in the format. Bench hits are useful, and while the 4 for 70 seems a bit steep it'd work supporting another Raichu with Scrambles, as in Raieggs.
     
    You need 2 of these to get the most out of its passive.

    The first attack is OK as it can hit the bench, but the second is not... for 4 energy, it could easily have done 80+ to guarantee a 1HKO to stage 1's, or ~100 with discards.

    But as it has free retreat (very important on an ex IMO), it explains why the HP and attacks are a little nerfed.

    6.5/10 - quite a versatile card to use in any deck.
     
    a four energy card requirement is not worth the damage it deals the pokebody is decent as is the second attack to attack the bench which is good if you want to get rid of the weaker baisic pokemon on the opponents bench.

    3/5 or 6/10
