years*

Unlimited: Not
that much of a good use here.
Rating : 1/5
Modified: It’s
evolved version has a good poke-power. But depending
on the Metagame I will be able to decide about it’s
use. The rotation still has to take place until then
every card can be good or bad. As for now…
Rating : 2/5
Limited: Yup I
can tell here cause it has free retreat that’s the
key in Limited.
And for 1 energy
it’s able to do up to 40 damage. 2 for 30 and a 50%
chance of Paralyze.
Rating : 3/5

Luxio L19
Nothing on it that screams playable to me. He's simply
the middle stage in a mediocre evolution line. Metal
resistance is positive but for only -20 it's irrelevant.
The final evolution is a poor excuse for a Stage 2.
Luxray may grab you a prize but then he's just there.
Just another card that confirms the poor content of DP
cards :(
The 1000th review card should have been so more awesome.
1/5

Play it. It's the
only one out at the moment and the attacks aren't bad at
all for a stage one. It even has a solid 80hp to take a
shot or two.
Unlimited: Too much opposition from better electric
pokemon here. 1/5
Modified: You don't have much choice now do you. 3/5
Limited: Yes. Not as great as electawin, but it's pretty
darn close.5/5

1000 Pokemon Cards!
Wow! Over 3 Years of COTDs!!!
Luxio...what a nice little Electric Stage 1!
80 HP, free retreat, both great for a stage 1.
1 any energy for a flip and hit for 40 is nicely
overpowered...a rare type of attack on a stage 1.
2 lightning for 30, flip for paralyzed, not bad either.
If it were a stage 1 line, we would say the attacks are
too underpowered. Problem is, on the stage 2 line, the
attacks are not all that great either! 80 max damage, in
this, the age of 90 for 2 (Infernape) 200 for 3 (Lugia
EX) or even 110 for 4 (Metagross Delta) makes this whole
line a bit underpowered.
Given the "newness" of the card, and the potential for
combos with Pokemon Like Electovire, Dragonite Delta,
and the like...it may see some play before it hits the
trade binders.
So, for the 1000th time...
Unlimited...um, maybe 1 for a flip and 50 isn't all that
bad...pluspower gives you a shot at KOing a Sneasel...but,
it is a stage 1...so...
I feel generous...2/5
Modified...If it had a better stage 2, it might actually
see some play. There are SOOO many better ways to go in
this envio. Just waiting for Chuck, Jimmy and Ness to
prove me wrong. 2.2/5
Limited...Grab it. Free Retreat, colorless attack, all
good things in draft, and if you don't play it, you
don;t want someone else to be playing it!
4/5
There you go! Thanks folks

It's good to be here
for the 1000th card review, sorry if I haven't done as
much reviewing as I would like, been busy with a lot of
things, but onto Luxio!
This card is actually a pretty decent stage 1. 80 hp, 1
energy for a possible 40, and 2 L for 30 and paralyze.
Since it is the only Luxio legal(to my knowledge), and
you will only be using it to get to it's stage 2(was it
Luxray?), it gets a 5/5 all format.
Happy CoTD Day Pojo!

Today’s 1000thCard Of
The Day is…Luxio from
Diamond & Pearl
A very average
stage 1 Pokemon, with 80hp and a nice attack. For 1
colorless energy, if you flip heads, you can dish out 40
damage, even if you flip tails there is no drawback.
Even thunder fang is pretty solid, but because he is
just the middleman you only want to attack with him
once. But you can’t deny the free retreat he has.
Combos:
Works well with Luxray
Modified: 3/5 Nothing too special, but strong enough to
survive as a stage 1
Limited:3/5 free retreat and a solid attacks

Hi POJO! Its James the M-Azing
one here writing his First Pokemon Card of the Day.
Your probably wondering who I am so Ill Tell you a
little about myself before we get to what I signed
up to deliver. Well I’m 21, I Play Pokemon on a
Casual Level, played since the release of Base set
all them years ago. I stopped collecting around the
time the Neo Discovery Came out and well didn’t pick
back up till Crystal Guardians so I guess you could
say I’m a little outdated in my Ways in Pokemon.
Ok so time for what you
came to see the Card of the day is…..TORTERRA The
Continent Pokemon! This Version is Grass and like
Most Grass it suffers a weakness form the ever
popular Fire type though I think with the Diamond
and Pearl set they’ve Changed how weakness and
Resistance is Applied so If im Right Fire types Do
an Extra 30 damage to our Giant leaf Turtle which I
guess is good and Bad because attacks like Base Set
Charmanders Scratch would only do 20 to this guy
where as something like Base set Charizards Fire
Spin would only do 130 instead of 200 damage. His Hp
looks pretty solid for a Stage 2 pokemon with a
Total of 140. Now being a Stage 2 means your going
to have to do a little work to use this guy but you
already know that, but I believe this could be one
of the better stage 2 grass pokemon of new Era.
His attacks are ok one
being Body slam for 3 Colorless with 30 Damage and a
Chance to make the Defending Pokemon Paralyzed, in
Extended you could soften this cost by running some
Colorless energy which would help out with his next
attack but If not I Believe Modified Has a grass
type that allows Multiple energy placement sort of
like Rain Dance did back in the day…Even So this
attack really just aint worth the Effort put into
getting the pokemon out to Begin with. Now is other
attack does have some uses, this one being called
Leaf Storm which takes to Grass Energy and 2
colorless. IN Unlimited you could pull this off
fairly easy within 3 turns with a Colorless energy
and 2 Grass energy, Modified however I think it
would take just a little longer though double
rainbow energy would prove a huge boost for this
Guy. The 60 Damage is nice and with the Healing
power added on that removes 2 counters from all
grass Pokemon on your bench make him an ok Choice
for a Grass deck needing a Moderate hitter with a
little recovery thrown in for kick.
To sum this up I guess
he’s ok, he’s not on my list of Must haves since
I’ve never really used Grass Pokemon… I’m a
Water/Fighting Kind of Guy but Hey one day Ill make
a Grass Deck Maybe ill try this Guy a Tryout out.
Unlimited: 1.5/5 Low Score
but he still can be useful in a Grass Deck or even
maybe a Hybrid of Damage Swap? Now there is an Idea
><
Modified: 3/5 Average
Score I really cant Judge here since I Don’t attend
Tourneys or anything but again In the right build he
May just prove to be useful.
Limited: 3/5 if you can
Manage to get him out Go for it, Probably any Basic
Pokemon that goes against him wont last long at all.
