Black Kyurem ex (011/064) Pokemon card.
Thanks to the translation provided by PokeBeach, we can get an idea of how this Legendary Pokemon would fare in a match.
This card possesses the Black Frost Attack, which inflicts a formidable 250 damage. While it is a strong move, it also causes 30 damage to Black Kyurem.
One of Black Kyurem ex’s strengths as a potential counter for Regidrago is its Ice Age Attack. This move inflicts 90 damage and has the added effect of automatically Paralyzing the opponent’s Active Pokemon if it is a Dragon-type. With a cost of only 3 Colorless Energy, it proves to be a formidable option for taking down powerful Dragon-type opponents.
Despite not eliminating all of Regidrago VSTAR’s potential choices, the ability to inflict a Special Condition on Dragon-types early in the game holds significance. This could give players an advantage in setting up quickly against opponents using Regidrago and increasing their chances of success.
Social media and the PokeBeach forum were abuzz with excitement over its competitive potential and impressive artwork. One player on X couldn’t contain their amazement, exclaiming, “That is AWESOME!”Other users joined in, expressing their desire to see a Special Art Rare version of this card included in Paradise Dragona.
As soon as the card was announced, players immediately started discussing potential strategies and its viability in the current meta. One player confidently stated, “It’ll definitely make a splash while both it and Regidrago VSTAR are still allowed. I’m already planning to add one to my Lost Zone deck.”
The card, whether for its ability to defeat Regidrago or its captivating design, is a prime representation of the potential of Paradise Dragona.
