....so? Lol, theres seveal things in the game that can tops that, and many more that can approch it. And look at thier energy costs.
Sure they do much damage but they need a HUGE discard to reach that damage.
Look at Charizard. You do 200 for 5 Energy. That is 40 damage for each energy. But you also got to discard them. Without an energy accelerator, you do an average of 40 damage a turn tops.
Compare to Flygon Ex. He does 80 for 3 energy. That is less as 30 an energy. However, Flygon can hit constantly for a solid 80. On Average. And he doesn't need as much charging time as Charizard.
Then there is the fact that without having to discard energy, you can charge up benched pokes.
So no, Lugia and Charizard Ex aren't insanely powerful. You want pure raw power? Take a peek at Salamence Ex (Power Keepers)

I know about that Salamence, but u have to discard the top 5 cards of your deck.
The point is that you can do it over and over again without stopping, compared to a one-shot hit and sit there for three-five turns.
Lt. Houndoom has a point. I'll try to post a combo thread tomorrow.
Charizard EX is Stage 2, takes 5 energies, and is an EX. I think 200 damage is no biggy. Lugia EX may have a bigger argument, but it has a pretty common weakness and you take the risk of starting with it in a deck. 3 different energy sorta balances it, and it was pretty unplayable until DS. By then things like that became standard though.
