Despite a few bad comment on the upcoming set, Ex Return of TR(that's not cool :grumble: ), I'm continuing report on one upcoming card: Dark Marowak.
Dark Marowak (http://www.pokebeach.com/scans/exteamrocket/007.jpg)
Card’s face:
Artist: Mitsuhiro Arita
What contain in the card’s art: A Marowak standing up a building in the night.
Rarity: R
Number: 7/109
Set: Ex Team Rocket Returns
Stats:
70 HP
[F&D]
Stage 1
Weakness: [G]
Resistance: N/A
Retreat Cost: [C]
Pre-Evolution Choice:
1. Cubone
There are two version of Cubone- in Ex FRLG and Ex Return of TR. The TR one is good for basic Pokemon card searching, and its second attack with one [F] energy can cause 20 damage on 2 heads. The other one has a first attack that deal 10 damage for a [C] energy, while its second attack deals 20 damage to any Pokemon, ignoring weakness and resistance. I’d say the FRLG one is better, as it can damage those low HP Pokemon on the bench, like maybe Magikarp.
Attack:
[CC] Brick Smash 30
This attack damage isn’t affected by Resistance, Poke-Powers, Poke-Bodies or any other effects on the Defending Pokemon.
This attack reminds me of Brick Break from Pokemon RS. Note it didn’t state “Isn’t affected by Weakness”, so I guess any damage of weakness is applied. Or is this a typo? Hmm…
[FFC] Hard Bone 70
Discard a Basic Pokemon or Evolution card from your hand or this attack does nothing.
Unfortunately you need a lot of Pokemon in your hand to make this attack really works. But combine with Marowak from Ex FRLG…
Combo:
1. Marowak (Ex FRLG)
Like I said, Marowak’s attack Vengeance states that it does 30 plus 10 more damage for each Pokemon in Discard Pile, but no more than 90 damage. Simply retreat to Marowak after discarding a decent amount of Pokemon.
2. Pokemon card searching card + Pokemon resurrecting card
This categories include Celio’s Network, Dual Ball, Poke-Ball etc. Simply find the Pokemon you needed for Hard Bone. The other categories…I have no idea. Maybe Maxie from Ex MVA?
3. Island Cave
Attach an energy to Dark Marowak, and all Special Condition are removed.
4. Rocket’s Mewtwo ex+Ex FRLG Ditto with damage counters on it (Better yet near Knocked Out)
First discard R Mewtwo ex, use Ditto Poke-Power to take it back. Say Hard Bone+Rocket Mewtwo+Form Variation+Switch+Juxtapose+Flip:Head=Surpise!
Card Art Rating in 1-10: 6
Overall Rating: Dark Marowak is a pretty okay card, but it will cost you your Pokemon. It’s pretty good for the early stage of the game, but don’t use it frequently.
Overall Rating in number 1-10: 5
