Talonflame -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Talonflame from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Talonflame is a stage 2, fire type Pokemon card, with an hp of 130.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Talonflame does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Acrobatics, this move requires one fire energy card and does 30 damage plus 30 more damage for each heads you get when flipping two coins.  Talonflame's second move is called Jet Shoot, this move requires three energy cards, two fire and one colorless, and does 120 damage, however if your opponent attacks Talonflame during their next turn, damage done to Talonflame is increased by 40.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Talonflame is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Fletchling into play and then evolve it into Fletchinder before you can evolve Fletchinder into Talonflame, both of those Pokemon are from this set, however I have only reviewed Fletchinder so far because Fletchling is a colorless type Pokemon and will be reviewed in a few weeks.  I thought Fletchinder was a slightly below average Stage 1 Pokemon card because it only had 80 HP, but other than that it was a good card.  So knowing this about Fletchinder, I could potentially see using Fletchinder in the active Pokemon for a turn or two, then evolving it in the active Pokemon spot to get more HP and to be able to do more damage, or just keeping the entire line on the bench until Talonflame has three energy cards on it.  Either way, I preferably would use Acrobatics most turns attaching Trick Coin as a tool card to Talonflame, that way you have a better chance at doing 90 damage a turn for only one energy card.  But I would make sure to have three energy cards on Talonflame in the case where you need to knock out a Pokemon in one turn, I would then use Jet Shoot and do 120 damage a turn.  I could definitely see myself using this card and this line in a deck and would include a 2-2-2 or 1-1-1 line in at least a dual type fire deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Phantom Forces set.  I like that this card has a very low retreat cost and two moves, both moves able to do above average damage.  I would give this card an even better rating if it had a higher HP, but when the HP is a little lower for a Stage 2 card and Jet Shoot can increase damage by 40, you'll definitely have to use some Potion cards to keep this card alive.  But overall, I would definitely recommend using this line in a deck, even if Fletchling is average when I review it, you should definitely consider using this line in a deck.
