Overview: Volcarona from the Noble Victories Booster Set

          Overview:
                    Today's Pokemon card review is on Volcarona from the Noble Victories booster set. This card is a Fire-type, Stage 1 Pokemon  that evolves from Larvesta, and and has an Hp of 110. This card illustrates Volcarona i a gust of wind. This card has no Poke-body or Poke-body, but it does have 2 moves, one of them being Fiery Dance Which does 30 damage and requires 1 Fire-type energy card. It says to attach a basic energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Pokemon. The 2nd move is Heat Wve which does 60 damage and requires 1 Fire-type energy and 2 colorless energy cards. It reads that the defending Pokemon is now burned. This card has a weakness to Water-type Pokemon which doubles the damage done to this card by 2. This card has no resistance and has a retreat cost of 1 colorless energy card. This card is a rare 21/101 card and was illistrated by Mitsuhiro Arita.

          SuperZekrom3001's Opinion:
                    I would say this card would go great with a grass type deck. I think that Fiery Dance is a good move when you have a Pokemon which needs alot of energy cards. This move will help power up your Pokemon faster, while at the same time you can deal some damage. Plus, Heat Wave helps to get rid of stronger Pokemon which gives you more time to power up your other Pokemon with Fiery Dance.

          Price Range:
                    On Poke-order, this card goes for about a dollar. On Professor-oak, this card goes foe about 2 dollars. And on ebay, it all just depends.

          Ranking:
                    I would give this card a 5/5. My reasoning for this ranking is because with Heat Wave, you can get rid of your oponent's Pokemon faster. And then you can power up your stronger Pokemon faster.
