Card of The Week: Emboar (BW20)

This time, i won't review (yet), so it's your turn guise.

The card:

FIRE!

-Andy-

This Pokémon is a stage-two fire type that evolves from Pignite.

That is all I know.

I've used it since... I started collecting the new ones. First in a Hydreigon deck when I didn't have as many reshirams, but now in Reshiboar.

Its mainly used for its ability, Inferno Fandango, which allows you to attach as many fire energies as you would like to any pokemon. It's pretty great.

Okay, i'll give you one more shot guise, if not.. i'll do it myself ;P

So include: Attacks, ability, partners/strategy and make a good review now ;)

yeah!!!emboar!!!

Emboar is mainly used in a support role. Heat Crash doesn't do enough damage (80) for a second stage, and it's retreat cost is 4. Its Hp is pretty great, but it's low damage makes it lackluster. It would be a pretty mediocre pokemon if not for it's ability, Inferno Fandango. Despite the grammatical error, (it should be Infernal Fandango) it's a great ability which allows you to add as many fire energies as you want to 1 of your pokemon. This allows you to power up heavy hitters such as Reshiram or Magnezone, in one turn.


Ok, so obviously, you are going to want some Energy Retrievals and Fishermen, because unless your pokemon is magnezone, your energy cards will be flying into the discard pile. After that it's usually preference, but since these are trainer cards I recommend here are the cards I usually use.

A combination of Flower Shop Lady and Interviewers Questions.

Junk Arm

And thats it. I bet you thought it'd be longer huh?





The one on the left supports the one on the right. (what I'm saying is one supports, and one does damage)
