There is a new set of Pokémon Cards coming out soon, and that is Furious Fists. One of the famous released cards is M Lucario EX, which has a decent attack. Although 3 Fighting type energies are expensive for an attack that does 140 damage, the effects have you discard an energy attached to the defending Pokémon, which means you can chose a Special Energy.

The set also includes Heracross EX and Mega Heracross EX. I believe most people will chose Mega Lucario, since there is a Supporter card, Korrina, which has you search your deck for a fighting energy and an item. This is very useful if your are running out of energy or you need an extra Ultra Ball to search for a Pokémon you may need. There is a problem: Does a Mega Pokémon count as a basic Pokémon? If not, it counts as a Mega Evolved Pokémon, which isn't included in any effects anywhere.

Another announced card is Seismetoad EX. My opinion is:"Why Seismetoad?"Seismetoad is the most random Pokémon they could make an EX card form of. Its second attack, Grenade Hammer, does 130 damage, but the effect is horrible. You have to put 30 damage on two of your benched Pokémon. A Dusknoir Card could be useful in this situation, as Seismetoad EX's attack doesn't require that much of a specific selected amount of energy.

Also, this set includes Dragonite EX, but why? Dragonite would be another random EX, like Emolga and Skarmory. Toxicroak wasn't that random though, nor Magnezone. Dragonite is weak, as he needs two tyoes of energy since he is a Dragon type. I believe Dragon types in the card game are just a waste of time.
