Throh -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Before I get started on this review, I think everyone should read this, I was contacted on YouTube by someone who needed clips for a video they're making for their college class, please read the following and follow up if you're interested: Everyone...You should check this out: Attention Pokemon Cosplayers! Want to be immortalized in a Youtube video? An Art teacher from Ohio is making a college project for his OSU class... a Pokemon Parody of the Gangnam Style video. If you have a Pokemon costume (Pokemon or character) he needs a few seconds of footage for a lot of quick cut scenes. Either doing the Gangnam Style dance or out in the wilderness acting like a Pokemon, you'd be part of a larger montage. Clips can be sent to gangnampokemon@gmail.com but must be in by the last day of October. Let him know in your email if you want to be credited. Be creative and thanks for your support!

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Throh from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  Throh is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Throh does not have an Ability, but it does have two moves.  The first move is called Squeeze and for three energy cards, two colorless and one fighting, this move does 40 damage plus 20 more damage and paralysis on the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Throh's second move is called Superpower and for four energy cards, three colorless and one fighting, this move does 70 damage plus 20 more damage, if you choose to do 20 more damage, you have to do 20 damage to Throh.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since this is a basic Pokemon card with no evolutions, you only need to include this card in the deck if you want to use it.  Since Throh is quite slow, I would recommend moving Throh to the bench and attaching energy cards to it there.  I would suggest using Superpower more of often than Squeeze because it can do almost twice the amount of damage every turn, plus if you don't get a heads when using Squeeze, you had to use way too many energy cards to only do 40 damage.  The only time I would use Squeeze is if I only had three energy cards on Throh or for some reason you really needed to paralyze the defending Pokemon.  I would only use 1 Throh card in a deck because it requires so many energy cards to attack.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card.  Even though it does have above average hp, and two moves that do decent amounts of damage, the Pokemon card is too slow for my liking and I would not recommend using it in a deck.
