Litleo #18/106 -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Litleo from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Litleo cards I'll be reviewing on my blog.  Litleo is a basic, fire type Pokemon card with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to water type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. This Litleo card does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Combustion, this move does 60 damage for three energy cards, two fire and one colorless.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Litleo is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Pyroar, which I'll be reviewing in two days, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet and I haven't reviewed the second Litleo card from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution or knowing anything about the other Litleo card from this set.  So, on its own I would not recommend using this card in a deck because it takes a long time to set up, and if you're forced to move this card into the active Pokemon spot before you have three energy cards on it, it may get knocked out before it is able to attack because it only has 70 hp.  Combustion is a good move, but is a move you would routinely see on Stage 1 and Stage 2 cards.  I guess if you're looking for one more fire type Pokemon to put in your deck, this card wouldn't be that bad, but it is too slow for my liking.  If you do play this card in your deck, the only option if using it on its own is to use Combustion every turn.

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 from the Flashfire set.  Despite having a good hp and a high damage move for a basic Pokemon that evolves, I am giving this card a below average rating because its one move is too slow, it has a high retreat cost, and the hp is too high for a card with the move it has.  Overall, this card just isn't that great, hopefully the other Litleo card from this set is better.
