Hoothoot -- BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Hoothoot from the BREAKthrough Pokemon Card Set.  Hoothoot is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Hoothoot does not have an Ability and it only has one move, which is called Proclaim the Night and for two colorless energy cards disables your opponent from playing any item cards from their hand during their next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Hoothoot is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Noctowl, 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, there is absolutely no reason to use this card in a deck, not only can it not do damage when attacking, but it requires two energy cards to attack instead of one, making it slow for a starter type Pokemon.  So unless you're using Noctowl in your deck, definitely do not use this card in a deck, there is just not a reason to, even if you put two energy cards on Hoothoot and use Proclaim the Night, it may not affect your opponent anyway.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Noctowl, this is a very poor Basic Pokemon card from the BREAKthrough set.  Other than having an average HP and low retreat cost, this card is extremely limited in what it can do, slow on the attack, and more than likely won't do anything to your opponent's Pokemon or strategy at all, so definitely look elsewhere when looking for colorless type Pokemon to use in a deck.
