N's Reshiram and N's Zoroark ex Cards

in #pokemontcg3 days ago

Hi everyone. In this Pokemon TCG post I cover the cards revealed from the Pokemon World Championships 2024 back in August 2024.

Two card reveals were N's Reshiram and N's Zoroark ex. These two cards are a part of the Owner's Pokemon series. News Source

 

N's Reshiram

N's Reshiram is a Basic Dragon Pokemon with 130 HP, no weakness and two retreat cost. The second attack of Virtuous Flame does 170 damage for a costly four Energy. The energy cost of Virtuous Flame is two Fire Energy, one Lightning Energy and one Colourless Energy. It is not likely that you would use this second attack.

The first attack of Powerful Rage costs one Fire Energy and one Lightning Energy. This attack does 20 damage for each damage counter on N's Reshiram. The maximum damage from this attack would be 240 damage which is from 120 damage on it times two. If this N's Reshiram has a Bravery Charm to boost it to 180 HP and has 170 damage on it then Powerful Rage does 340 damage. This damage output is crazy but this combo is hard to pull off.

On its own N's Reshiram is somewhat underwhelming.

 

N's Zoroark ex

N's Zoroark ex is a Stage 1 Dark Pokemon with a hefty 280 HP. This N's Zoroark evolves from N's Zorua which is unknown. The Trade ability allows you once per turn to discard one card from the hand and then draw two cards. This is pretty much the same Trade ability from Liepard and similar to Kirlia's Refinement ability.

The attack of Night Joker costs two Dark Energy with the effect of choosing one of your Benched N's Pokemon's attack as the Night Joker attack. You can choose one attack from N's Resihram and an attack from N's Zorua but information is unknown.

 

The Combo of N's Zoroark ex + N's Reshiram

The revealed picture does show the combo of N's Zoroark ex + N's Reshiram. If N's Zoroark ex does not have much damage counters on it then you would use Virtuous Flame for 170 damage from N's Reshiram. When N's Zoroark ex has at least 9 damage counters on it then it would be better to use Powerful Rage from N's Reshiram when using the Night Joker attack. Nine damage counters would be 180 damage from Powerful Rage to a maximum of 540 damage if there are 27 damage counters on N's Zoroark ex.

Opponent's facing N's Zoroark ex have to be careful in attacking it. You either have to a big one hit knockout or do a small first hit on it then a larger second attack to knockout N's Zoroark ex. You want to avoid a large counterattack from the Night Joker and Powerful Rage combination.
