Pokemon Card of the Day!

Dragonite FB from Supreme Victors


To start, the rarity of this card is an Uncommon. The attacks are quite powerful if used effectively. Dragonite FB is Lv. 50 and has 100HP. Since it is a Dragon type, the symbol for this card is actually the normal energy sign. It's weakness is simply Dragon type which is also shown as the normal energy symbol. To start off the attacks: Mach Blow. This attack requires 3 normal energy cards to be attached to Dragonite in order to be used. The attack detail says; If the defending Pokemon is a Pokemon SP which means a gym leader pokemon, elite 4 pokemon, or a frontier pokemon, this attack's base damage is 80 intead of 20. This means if the other pokemon say is also a FB pokemon, this attack deals 80 damage instead of 20. This is a great attack being as most FB, G, or E4 pokemon are strong in attacks and HP. The next attack is Giant Tail, this requires 4 normal energy cards attached to Dragonite to be used. The detail for this attack is; Flip a coin, if tails, this attack does nothing. However, this isn't completely useless, as I said these cards tend to be strong in some way, so if you flip a heads, this attack will deal 100 damage to the opponent's Pokemon and possibly knock it out. Other info for this card is the resistance which is Fighting -20, this means Dragonite is 2x resistant to any Fighting type attacks, so don't expect them to do much damage, if any. The retreat cost, which simply means to change Pokemon in your party, is 3 normal energy cards. 
Artwork: For the artwork on this card, it's very strong in terms of the design techniques. First there is strong emphasis which pulls the eye towards Dragonite, of course being the object of the card. Then as you look around the picture, you can see lines that seem to push and pull towards Dragonite, as if they are pointing the Pokemon out to you. This is done to create a strong dimensional effect with the image. The colours and shadowing are also very strong as you look further towards the bottom of the picture, this simply shows the viewer where the light source is coming from.

Hope you all enjoyed this very 1st Pokemon Card of the Day, and stay tuned for more!
Shoutout to Themcfargy, who is a Dragonite fanatic, hope you have fun collecting Dragonite items!
