Today's Pokémon Card:

B&W Legendary Treasures - Zekrom (Secret Rare)

“This Pokémon appears in legends. In its tail, is has a 

giant generator that creates electricity.”

Total Overview:

What’s up you beautiful people!?

This is the first review I’ve done of an ultra rare card, and it’s even a secret rare card, which is very much awesome! First off you can see if a card is a secret rare card, if the first number in the bottom right corner is bigger than the one on the other side of the /. This Zekrom says no. 115/113, which means there are only 113 cards in this set, so this card (along with another one) are secret rare cards, because they go outside of the number. Or something like that anyway!

Well let’s get started:

It’s a lightning type Pokémon with 130 HP and it has 2 different attacks. The first attack is named Outrage and costs 2 colorless energy cards to use. It does 20 damage + 10 for each damage counter on the Pokémon. This means that if Zekrom has taken damage, let’s say there are 2 damage counters on it, it deals 20 + 10 + 10, thereby 40 damage to your opponent’s Pokémon.

The second attack is Bolt Strike which requires 2 lightning type energy cards and 1 colorless energy card. It deals 120 damage to your opponent’s Pokémon, but also does 40 damage to itself. 

It has no resistance to any type of Pokémon, but has 2x weakness to fighting type Pokémon. If you wish to retreat in a match, it will cost 2 colorless energy cards. 

It’s a Basic Pokémon, so you can basically (haha, get it?? Basically!?) play it immediately, when you get it.

Personal Opinion:

I’ve had some doubts, rating this card.. I’d give it 3 or 4 out of 5. In my opinion these secret rare cards should be able to deal a whole lot of damage, and this card IS able to do that, BUT it also hurts itself using its strongest attack, and it only deals 20 damage to the opponent if its not already hurt. Furthermore, 130 HP is just not good enough for a Pokémon that deals itself 40 damage when using its strongest attack. There are other ultra rare cards and even just rare cards and stage 2 Pokémon in this set, that I would prefer to play with, over this card. 

But please remember that, when I rate these cards I compare them to other cards in the same set, because it wouldn’t be fair to compare a card from Black & White to a card from Base Set. 

A bit about the artwork:

Need I say that the card is absolutely gorgeous!? 

I LOVE the artwork, I generally really like full art cards, I think it’s a brilliant idea and it looks great. Unfortunately I don’t have this card myself just yet, but you can see on the pattern that the surface must feel different than other cards.

Next Card Review:

Next time I’ve chosen to review Arcanine from the Heartgold Soulsilver set. Arcanine is one of my favourite Pokémon, in case you shouldn’t have noticed that already ;) So of course I’m looking forward to reviewing this Pokémon! Though I think that I need to get some sort of order in these reviews, or else I’m afraid I’m going to forget which cards I’ve already reviewed :P
