It is said that somewhere in the ocean lies an island where these gather. Only they live there.

Why is everyone complaining on the Obsidian Flames Dragonite ex card when exactly the kind of Dragonite card they are talking about released the very next set? Dragonite is often portrayed in different ways, it’s fine y’all.

I don’t think people were complaining that Dragonite is angry too often, they were more complaining about how he looks when he is angry. It seems like most people prefer an intimidating stance and glare like shown in XY Evolutions over just making the eyes slanted and mad. I don’t know if I entirely agree with this, yeah the eyes look very mildly weird but like. thats how literally every pokemon ex has always looked lol. if you want accurate portrayals of pokemon, go look at the art rares or regular card art
Lilly
That’s fair. Definitely on ex cards usually looking like that (for better or for worse)
Dark Souls
This is better than Latias ex
Lilly
Latias ex is a Basic- since Stage 2s are way harder to get on the field, they tend to have better abilities. This is much worse than Latias ex in practice.
Dark Souls
Latias ex only works on basic pokemon
But dragonite ex works on stage 2s. Like dusknoir, dragapult, charizard, pidgeot, DRAGONITE, free retreats on ALL of them
BillehBawb
i mean yeah, the ability is better, but as the other person said it is much more difficult to get into play than latias ex because it is a stage 2 instead of a basic you can just slap down. that alone ruins any potential it had. if this card was good it would be seeing competitive play
Lilly
That’s not the point. The ability is better, that’s clear as day. But it’s a Stage 2, so it’s way harder to get online, whereas you can just Nest Ball for Latias and retreat.

Might be OK in a niche GLC deck. Hard to justify not playing the Fast Call Dragonite though.
