Pokemon Card of the Day!

MEGANIUM PRIME PROMO CARD


To start off, this card is a promo card found in the Meganium theme tin from the 2009 spring editions. This card is of course a rare, and one of 29 prime cards released. This card is a Stage 2 Pokemon, which means it has evolved to it's final form, and can be used to place on top of a Bayleef card to evolve it into Meganium during play. With a HP maximum of 150, this card is powerful. All prime cards have much stronger attacks and abilities that other cards do not have. This is why you are only allowed one prime card in your deck at any time. Meganium prime's ability is Leaf Trans, what this does is it lets you place Grass energy cards on any of your other grass pokemon before you attack the opponent. You may do this as much as you want before the attack. However, if Meganium is being effected by another ability, this one has no effect. For the attack on this card, it is the classic Solar Beam. You need to discard 2 Grass energy, and 2 Normal energy cards in order to use this attack. It's 100% accurate every time being as it has no conditions or anything else, and it deals 80HP damage to the defending Pokemon. Meganium is 2x weak against fire since it's a grass type, and is 2x resistant to water type attacks. The retreat cost to call this Pokemon back is 2 Normal energies. Getting on to the artwork now. The image shows a lot of dynamics and emphasis in that the Meganium seems to be ripping out of the center of the card, which is brought by deep shadows and light spots of colour in the opposite direction. The artist wants the viewer to see Meganium and think "Wow, powerful Pokemon!" which is easily captured by this card. 

Stay tuned tomorrow for a NEW card review!
