Toxicroak -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Toxicroak from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  Toxicroak is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Toxicroak does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  It's first move is called Revenge, this move requires only one colorless energy card and does 20 damage plus 70 more damage if any of your Pokemon were knocked out the previous turn.  Toxicroak's second move is called Poison Jab, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, and does 60 damage plus defends the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Toxicroak is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Croagunk into play (there are two Croagunk cards in this set and I've reviewed both of them the past two days) and then evolve Croagunk into Toxicroak.  If you read the past two day's reviews, I prefer the Croagunk card that has 70 hp and has the move that does 20 damage and poisons the defending Pokemon over the card that has 60 hp and can paralyze the defending Pokemon.  I would try and keep Croagunk on the bench and then evolve it into Toxicroak there,  but if you have Croagunk in the active Pokemon spot, whenever you get Toxicroak in your hand, evolve it right away because Toxicroak has more hp than Croagunk, uses less energy to attack, and can do more damage (for more energy cards of course).  I would look to move Toxicroak into the active Pokemon spot as soon as one of my Pokemon is knocked out and use Revenge to do 90 damage, then turns after that I would use Poison Jab to do 60 damage every turn.  I would use a 2-2 line of Croagunk and Toxicroak in a psychic type deck or a deck that inflicts many special conditions, no matter the type, because like Croagunk, this card mainly requires colorless energy cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average stage 1 Pokemon card.  This card does have average hp, but it has two superior moves, one move requires little energy and can do major damage, and the other move requires more energy cards but can do major damage every turn plus poison the defending Pokemon.  So if you're looking for 4 more Pokemon cards to put in a deck, this Pokemon line could be the line you're looking for.  So, if you're using the Croagunk numbered 65/149 and this Toxicroak card, I would give that line a 4 out of 5 rating.
