Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Helioptile from the Flashfire Pokemon Card Set. Helioptile is a basic, lightning type Pokemon card with an hp of 60. It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to metal type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Helioptile does not have an Ability but it does have two moves. The first move that this card has is called Pound, this move does 10 damage for one lightning energy card. Helioptile's second move is called Destructive Beam, this move requires two energy cards, one each of colorless and lightning and allows you to discard an energy card from your opponent's active Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Helioptile is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Heliolisk, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon. However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution. So, on its own I wouldn't recommend using this card in a deck unless you really really needed one more lightning type Pokemon to put in your deck. I say this because even though Helioptile does have two moves, neither are that great. So if you do decide to use this card in your deck, I would try to get it out early in the game since the most damage it can do is 10, then use Pound most turns, unless the opposing Pokemon requires a lot of energy cards to attack, then you can take a chance and use Destructive Beam, hopefully flipping a heads and delaying their ability 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 from the Flashfire set. This card does have some positives for being a below average card, it has an average hp, a low retreat cost and two good moves. However, neither move on this card is very good, and the card is very limited if you do not plan on using it without Heliolisk. So overall, I can not recommend using this card in a deck, but if it comes to a worst case scenario, this card wouldn't be that bad.
