Vivillon -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Vivillon from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Vivillon is a stage 2, grass type Pokemon card, with an hp of 120.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Vivillon's Ability is called Energy Color, and says that once per turn you may flip a coin, if you get a heads you may move an energy card from your deck to one of your Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Vivillon just has one move called Sleep Powder, for three energy cards, two colorless and one grass, this move does 60 damage, plus it puts the defending Pokemon to sleep.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Vivillon is a stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Scatterbug into play and then evolve it into Spewpa before you can evolve Spewpa into Vivillon, both of those Pokemon are from this set and I've reviewed both of them the last two days.  If you've read my reviews of those cards you'll know that I thought both cards were below average, since they both had really low HP, and Scatterbug really was unusable, it is unfortunate that they have such low HP because both cards have decent moves.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at Vivillon, if you want to use this card in a deck, it is best to evolve the entire line on the bench.  This Vivillon card could definitely be used in the active Pokemon spot since it has a good move that puts the defending Pokemon to sleep and does an average amount of damage, however since this card has a little lower HP, you don't want to depend on it much in the active Pokemon spot.  Of course, the main reason you'd want to use this card is for its Ability which will help you get energy cards into play much quicker and get your Pokemon set up, potentially ones that require more energy to attack.  Because this card will be used mostly for its Ability, a 1-1-1 line of this Pokemon family is best.

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 BREAKthrough set.  Besides having a lower HP for a Stage 2 Pokemon card, this card is excellent, it has a great Ability and a very solid move doing damage and inflicting a special condition.  However, because both Spewpa and Scatterbug are so bad in this set, I can't give all three cards higher than a 2 out of 5 rating, but if you can utilize Vivillon's Ability, definitely use this line in a deck.
