Flabebe #62/106 -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Flabebe from the Flashfire set.  This is the first of two Flabebe cards I'll be reviewing on my blog.  Flabebe is a basic, fairy type Pokemon card with an hp of 40.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Flabebe does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Aromatherapy, this move requires one fairy type energy card and heals 10 damage from each of your Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Flabebe is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Floette and a stage 2 evolution in Florges, which I'll be reviewing the next few days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet and I haven't even reviewed the second Flabebe card from this set, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions or knowing which Flabebe card is better.  So on its own, I may consider using one of these cards in a deck just so it can heal all of my other Pokemon, but you'll definitely not want to use this card as a starter type Pokemon because it can't do any damage when attacking and it has a really low hp.  So if you want to use this card in a deck, make sure to not use more than one, I would wait until many of your Pokemon have damage on them, then move Flabebe into the active Pokemon spot, use Aromatherapy a couple of turns, then retreat it before it gets knocked out.  Because Flabebe has such a low hp, make sure later in the game, if you move Flabebe into the active Pokemon spot, it can at least last a turn without getting knocked out.

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 that to me is between a 1 and a 2 rating.  Besides not being able to do any damage when attacking and having a very low hp, this card is actually a card I would consider using in a deck just because it can help all of your Pokemon in play that have damage on them, but because Flabebe really is pretty horrible, it would be pretty risky to use more than 1 or use this card at all in a deck.  So if you're building a fairy type deck, this card may work in the deck, but you're taking an awfully big risk playing it in your deck.
