Gulpin -- Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Review

Gulpin Phantom Forces Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Gulpin from the Phantom Forces Pokemon Card Set.  Gulpin is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Gulpin does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Poison Gas, this move requires one psychic energy card and poisons the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Gulpin's second move is called Sludge Bomb, this move requires three energy cards, one psychic and two colorless, and does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Gulpin is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Swalot, 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 would stay away from this card at all costs.  Not only does this card require three energy cards to for sure do damage, but when you do get three energy cards on this card it does well below the average amount of damage three energy cards normally do.  And if you choose to use this card just for Poison Gas, it requires a coin flip, thus making this move not good as well.  So I really don't see a scenario where I would recommend playing this card on its own.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Swalot, this card is a very poor Basic Pokemon card.  Other than having an average HP, this card has two very poor moves and a higher retreat cost.  So unless you're using this card with Swalot, stay away from it at all costs.

Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Gulpin from the Phantom Forces set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Gulpin's stage 1 evolution Swalot, which is from this same set.  Make sure to check below for the Free Pokemon TCG Online Codes!
