Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Absol from the Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Set. Absol is a basic, darkness type Pokemon card with an hp of 100, it has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Absol's Ability is called Cursed Eyes and says that when you move Absol from your hand onto your bench, you may move 3 damage counters from one of your opponent's Pokemon to another of their Pokemon. Besides the Ability, Absol only has one move called Mach Claw, this move requires two energy cards to use, one each of darkness and colorless, and does 30 damage.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Absol is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card. With that being said, this card could either be used as a slower, more powerful starter type Pokemon in a darkness type deck by getting Absol into the active Pokemon spot early and using Mach Claw every turn, or in a spread damage type deck by putting Absol into play later in the game when the opponent's Pokemon all have damage on them, you can potentially then use Absol's Ability to knock out one of your opponent's Pokemon. This Absol card is average at best, so I would not recommend using more than 1 of these in a deck.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set. This card has a well above average HP and a low retreat cost. I like Absol's Ability quite a bit even though you can only use it once. The one move that Absol has is decent, but I would have really liked more from this card, overall it isn't bad, but it definitely could have been better.
