Entei EX is a very interesting card. Quadlions has won a few Battle Roads and is definitely a threat to look out for. Unfortunately, Mewtwo EX with enough Energy kind of ruin the deck.
 
My son won our Battle Roads with Quadlions this past weekend. I think Entei EX is about a 6/10. If the first attack could hit harder it would be a better card, but I don't think I would personally feel comfortable building a deck around it.
 
I ran this card with volcarnora. And i didnt find it to be that great of a card. But ill try it out my deck more. But the good thing about this card is that you can sure for it with heavy ball. 7/10
 
Do 90 damage and get a benefit, attaching a :fire: to one of your benched pkmn. No need for Typhlosion Prime.

Above, it was mentioned to use with Volcarona, which I'm guessing is the one reviewed here: http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=164755. Makes sense in a way since Entei EX is not likely to be OHKOed. Burn them to weaken them and then Grand Flame for the KO.

The weakness to :water: isn't really something to worry about at this time. Fire support is rather low at this time instead. Fire was the fastest but then a little after NVi it got outsped. The last support Fire received was BW with Emboar. Since then it has been pokemon that outright attack and Entei EX is no different. Its support is fast, just not fast enough and its attacks don't OHKO anything.

As I mentioned in my second sentence of this review, "No need for Typhlosion Prime." Perhaps when speed is lost in trainers after rotation, it may be looked at to run with Reshiram.
 
Lion King is AMAZING!! Quad Entei (Lion King) will be a strong play at Nats! Gr8 Card and the BEST EX art!
