Lol, trying to get ppl's comments on my ex :p

absolexod7.jpg


HP: 100
Good for a basic ex, but gets owned by steelix ex's mudslide =(

Type: Dark
It gets protection from special cons from sid's stadium. Good is not many pokes have resistance from dark types.

Poke-power: Cursed Eyes
Very good, synchronises with its attack, psy pulse, though it would be much better (and broken) if allowed to spread.

Attack: Psy Pulse
30 dmg for 2 energies for a basic ex is okay, but for a dark type, w00t! it gets dark type bonus. Following its partner, flygon δ ex, it does 10 damage to eack poke with damage counters already on it. Good attack overall.

Weakness: Fighting
Really, it hurts to get killed by a machamp the instance it comes. Fighting weakness=BBBAAADDD!

Resistance: Psychic
Yeah, something to cover up its main flaw-fighting weakness- is a resisntace, psychic in this case.

Retreat cost:1
Good, saves lives.

Comboes:

Absol LM:
Gets out absol ex, then use feint attack till it dies, then psy pulse.

Cacturne δ CG:
Triple needle, then psychic pulse for heavy damage.

Art:
yeah, my fav part.

Absol art: looks cool and 3D like. 10/10

Backgound: time-travelling? Nice shadow nonetheless. 10/10

Ratings:
Unlimited: dunno, don't play
Modified:7/10 works with cacturne, though ppl prefer flygon
Limited: not yet :p

So, please give comments on the amazing absol!
 
Personally, it looks very weak. Psy-pulse isn't very strong, though it is a basic, and its power isn't very utilisable. Yes, the dark boost helps.
 
Honestly,I really like Absol and now theres an ex of it so its great!
HP-Really nice=10/10
Art 3D like as you said,really like it=10/10
Poke-power Really helpful and you can move damage counters also with Banette ex=10/10
Attack Its okay,if you want more damage,use more dark energies=9/10
Weakness Fighting-I hate Fighting types
Resistance Psychic-Nooooooo!!!!!-10/10(least haves a resistance...)
Retreat cost 1{C} is really nice...=10/10

^Yes that's true , but Absol will be out first because its basic.So  it can attack onix first and gathering energies for mudslide isn't that quick , so don't worry too much about steelix...


My fav. part is like yours...
 
you Forgot Jolteon ex on the Combo's List. being able to Mentor. awesome! i like it much more then Flygon and Curse Powder canb Help for 3 dmg Counters
 
I think this is just one of those cards you throw in to get some more damage on a certain pokemon. Attack with it? Out of the question.
 
I am still sticking with the cacturne idea, jolteon is not my type, else all will be ex. wait till the set is out then i'll make a deck.
 
The thing is that Darknesss Energy will know become Basic Energy, so thiers no power-up. So basically the HP is to low and the attack stinks. On the plus side its an elegable T2 killer.
 
Oh well, i like it. anymore comments/reviews?

To haters: please at least make a review so i think you are not so unreasonable to say it stinks.
 
There will be 2 type of Darkness and Metal energy: the all new basic Dark (no boost T_T) that you can have as many as you like in your deck; and the good old special Dark energy that gives you +10 damage and you can have up to 4 in your deck. Same goes to metal energy.
 
Yes, that is true. Well even if there wasn;t, you could just use the dark or metal from the old sets that would still be legal, like DS or such.

Also 100 hp is not good. Especially with flymance running around! That's a prime target to dump off an EX and snag a prize. Also with guys tha can do a quick 80, solid rage will make them smile.
 
Ah, let's see. Absol ex, boy Absol, you must be happy.

Ok, its HP is decent. (not in general, but ok for a Basic, I guess.) It's Poke-Power is good for spreading damage, or just if you want to get closer to knocking out that pesty EX an opponent may have. (STEELIX MAYBE?) It's attack...oh my, it could be better...but whatcha expect? Basic ex's attacks aren't really that good, most of the time. (*takes a look at Rayquaza ex d*) It goes with its Poke-Power, as every Pokemon should, IMO. As Absol stated, good with Triple Needle? and has a chance to put extra counters on that "pest" we talked about earlier. (STEELIX EX)

Rating: 7/10 I dunno, its attack could be better.
 
I think that this will be the end for bandoom/boom decks, absol kills those and mewtric.

The best way to go with it is eeveelutions/absol IMO, focusing more on using jolteon ex of course.
It outspeeds most decks and has advantage over popular T2 decks (mewtric, boom).

A good card overall, however a good setup of flymence/sallygross or metanite kills the card. =(

Mew ex is a million times better. Can Absol ex use any attack it wants? Didn't think so.

Absol ex isn't that great. If Desert Ruins were still around, his HP would be another strike against him, but since it isn't, 100 HP is fine.

He's a terrible starter. His only attack costs two Energy, so there's no attacking T1. His power is a coming-into-play one, so if you start with it, there goes Cursed Eyes.

As far as Psychic Pulse goes, it too is subpar. Flygon ex does it better; he's got the body to back up the attack. Absol ex... has nothing. If you could spread the 3 damage counters you move with Cursed Eyes, it might be a little more useful, but since it's 3 from one to another, you can't really take full advantage of Psychic Pulse like Flygon ex can.

I suppose you could do it with T2 Jolteon ex, but Absol ex shouldn't be used as a main attacker anyway.

Weakness and Resistance are to be expected, no comments there... Absol ex could benefit from a free retreat cost. If they can give it to Shiftry ex, who is not only Stage 2, but 100 times more deadly than Absol ex, I don't see why Absol ex can't have it too. At least then you could get him out of there if you were unfortunate enough to start with him. To Absol ex's credit, if you can't have free retreat, 1 retreat is the next best thing.
 
Since when can Absol travel through time?

He could simply be leaping or moving quickly, and the lines emphasize this.
