Card Overview
Zapdos EX is an Electric Type Ex Pokemon with 170hp, a weakness to Electric Pokemon, resistant to Fighting Pokemon and a retreat cost of one energy. Zapdos has two attacks: Agility and Powervolt. Agility has a two energy cost, one being electric and the other being colorless. Agility requires you to flip a coin, if heads you get to prevent all effect of attacks, including getting poisoned or paralyzed, during your next turn. Powervolt is a very powerful attack, doing 80 base damage and 40 more damage if a Plasma Energy is attached to Zapdos.
Involving this Card
Once again Zapdos EX is a card I have played a lot against. My friend used this in his deck and it was a huge pain to play against. He would run three Zapdos EX in his deck along with four Plasma Energy and Victini with the Victory Star ability. This made Zapdos's Agility attack a huge problem to play against as long as he had Victini on the bench. Zapdos could hide behind his Agility attack and he could set up behind Zapdos. After he was set up he could eventually use his Powervolt for some big damage.
Overall Rating
On a scale from 1-10, I would rate Zapdos at an 8. Zapdos is a good, strong, and cheap attacker, but his second one is costly. Zapdos can hide behind his agility attack and it will help you set up. Agility will be even more useful with a Victini on the bench to help you flip heads.
