Whimsicott -- Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Whimsicott from the Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Set.  Whimsicott is a stage 1, fairy type Pokemon card, with an hp of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to darkness type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Whimsicott card does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Windy Mischief, for one fairy type energy, this move allows you to move all damage counters from one of your benched Pokemon to your opponent's Active Pokemon.  Whimsicott's second move is called Rolling Tackle and does 30 damage for two colorless energy cards.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Whimsicott is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Cottonee into play (I reviewed Cottonee from this set yesterday) and then evolve Cottonee into Whimsicott.  If you read yesterday's review of Cottonee, you'll know that I thought that card was a below average Basic Pokemon card, it would have been a solid card to use in a deck if it had 60 HP instead of 40, because the one move it did have only required one energy card to use and put the defending Pokemon to sleep.  So knowing this about Cottonee and looking at this Whimsicott card, the main reason you'll want to consider having this card in a deck is for its Windy Mischief move, what you would do, is use an EX or something with a very high HP for quite awhile in your active Pokemon spot, retreat that EX, then move Whimsicott into the active Pokemon spot, making sure it won't get knocked out in one move, and use Windy Mischief, potentially one hit KOing the defending Pokemon.  Other than that strategy, there is no reason to use Whimsicott in a deck, since it is a Stage 1 evolution and has such a low HP.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a slightly above average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Ancient Origins set and one that can do a sneaky high amount of damage in a deck using its Windy Mischief move, as long as you give yourself time to get some major damage on one of your Pokemon.  Together with Cottonee from this set, I would give both cards a 3 out of 5 rating, both have low HP, so definitely warrant no more than a 1-1 line of use.
