    Yeah, I agree about how Raikou and Suicune Legend may not be that good. It can hit for 150 damage, virtually a OHKO in this format, but then leaving it at 110 HP will most likely make it easy to go down afterwards. Furthermore, they have awful weaknessess too. I also agree with the rating. Yeah, this Legend really does deserve a 4/10. I doubt it will really be played too.

    Still, this was an awesome episode. I can't wait for next week's episode!

  • JWittz

    Yeah, I have a lot of material planned before regionals, it looks like at LEAST 2 videos will hit this week :D

  • http://forum.pokemon.fi/ Master Entei

    2 videos? :0 Now you've GOT to make em. :P
    Waiting for the last legendary dog combination, I think it could have some potential. ;D

    I'm thinking the same that you are on RaikouSuicune, it just doesn't have enough power to withstand the backlash. And even if it can, it just kills itself the second time it attacks. Not really worth it IMO.

  • benjamin

    maybe you should add that Raikou&Suicune benifits from the Sunyshore gym, which means that you don´t have many problems against luxray gl x, donphan etc. because Raikou&suicune has no weakness anymore.

    Ofc. it has virtually 110 hp but without weakness it is hard to OHKO the legend. If you run queen, it has virtually 120 hp

    thats why i think the rating should be 6 or 7

  • http://forum.pokemon.fi/ Master Entei

    Good catch on the Sunyshore, didn't remember that myself!

    The big problem with the card is that it needs 3 Energy, is hard to get out and gives 2 prizes. While I agree that 110 HP is hard to OHKO, virtually any deck can deal 60 damage. This means that it KO's itself on the second hit it deals. Thats 2 prizes for you (or 3, if opponent had a Belt attached), and some work for the other player to get something out. It also gives the opponent 2 prizes, a shot at your next Pokemon, and you some problems to get another Legendary/anything else you may be playing with it out. I think it deserves a 4 or 5 out of 10

  • jexar

    I'm sure there will be a way to manipulate your deck so that Legend box will always work. Regardless, after playing against a friend who already built a deck with these legends, its not that hard to get out at all. Also, energy pick-up (while flippy) helps the energy excel a lot.

    Nice review Josh, I agree that it really doesn't seem too good. I sort of want to see what else come out in the new set before making and judgments because maybe there will be new trainers that help it out…I dunno. I haven't looked at any spoilers.

    4/10 seems appropriate.

  • JWittz

    yeah, I guess it's tough because my review for all legend cards goes up for legend box. However, it is getting to be pretty disappointing when the new pokemon gimmics (legends, primes) keep getting beat by the old ones (SP).

  • MarkStroup

    Loved this episode, everything is true hands down.
    You NEED to Cotd the other 2 dog combinations, they NEED to be talked about!!! O_-

  • theman

    i got 1 1/2 of the card with packs, you use porygon2 ge and play double bebe's search, get him on the bench, Snowpoint Temple+Expert Belt him, Unown Q your active (preferrably Mime) , Retreat a few turns later for Raikou Suicune, deal 150, and pray they dont have Charizard g LV.X in thier deck. 5/10, but you need a lot of searching for other cards, and then you need to stall. Run Nidoqueen, and it's a decent deck.

    Youre not the standard blog writer, dude. You surely have some thing strong to add to the net. Your style is so powerful that you could virtually get away with being a bad writer, but you are even great at expressing what you’ve got to say. Such a good web site. I’ll be back for more.
