Card Overview
Lucario EX is a basic EX Pokemon with: 180hp, three attacks, a weakness to Psychic, and a two retreat cost. Lucario's attacks are Missile Jab, Corkscrew Smash, and Somersault Kick. Missile Jab does 30 damage for one Fighting Energy and it is not affected by Resistance, so this attack will always do 30 damage in the very least. Corkcrew Smash might be Lucario's best attack, Corkscrew Smash does 60 damage for two Fighting Energy, and you get to draw until you have 6 cards in your hand. Lastly, Somersault Kick does 100 damage for three Fighting Energy.
Involving this Card
Lucario EX is a great card from the newest set, Furious Fists. Lucario EX has a great attack, Corkscrew Smash, which is Bianca, but you do not have to use a supporter to gain the effects. Lucario can also have a Strong Energy attached, which will make his attacks all do a guaranteed 50 damage, add a Muscle Band to that equation and it does a total of at least 70 damage. If you evolve Lucario EX into Mega Lucario EX, and he has a Strong Energy and a Muscle Band on him, he will do an incredible 180 damage, enough to knock out almost all EX Pokemon in the TCG. |
Overall Rating
I would rate Lucario EX, out of 10, a 9. Lucario is rated so highly because he can do a guaranteed 70 damage on his weakest attack if he is powered to the maximum, and 140 when his most powerful attack is powered up. Lucario is a huge threat and his attacks do a huge amount of damage for his low energy cost. Lucario EX is one of the best cards to come out of Furious Fists, and his Mega Evolution is also one of the best cards to come out of the newest set!
