Golem -- Flashfire Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Graveler from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set.  Graveler is a stage 2, fighting type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150.  It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Graveler does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Stone Edge, this move requires three energy cards, two fighting and one colorless, and does 60 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin the move does 30 more damage.  Golem's second move is called Explosion, this move requires four energy cards, two each of colorless and fighting, and does 150 damage, however Golem does 100 damage to itself.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Golem is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Geodude into play and then evolve it into Graveler before you can evolve Graveler into Golem, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last couple of days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought Geodude was an average Pokemon card that could be used on its own but I wasn't a big fan of Graveler, so if you're going to use Golem in a deck, you'd probably want to set up the line on your bench.  Another reason you'd want to set up this line on your bench is that both Graveler and Golem are pretty slow on the attack.  I personally wouldn't use this line in a deck, but if you choose to, you could use a 1-1-1 line and set up Golem on the bench, put four energy cards on it, when in the active Pokemon spot use Stone Edge most turns and then if Golem is close to being knocked out you could either retreat it or use Explosion, knocking out Golem and hopefully the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Flashfire set.  Like I mentioned above, I myself would not use this card in a deck because it is too slow and neither move I am a fan of, but the card could be used as I outlined in the strategy section.  But to me, neither move on this card is that great, and then Golem has a high retreat cost, which will make it even slower if you retreat it.  Altogether, I would give the line of Geodude, Graveler, and Golem from the Flashfire set a 2 out of 5 rating, I wouldn't use it in a deck.  Individually, I gave Geodude a 3, Graveler a 2, and Golem a 3 rating.
