Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Poliwag from the XY Evolutions set. Poliwag is a basic, water type Pokemon card with a HP of 60. It has a x2 weakness to grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Poliwag does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Water Gun that does 30 damage for two water energy cards.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Poliwag is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Poliwhirl, and a Stage 2 evolution in Poliwrath, which I'll be reviewing the next couple of days, you'll more than likely want to use some of those Pokemon with this card, however, since I have not reviewed any of those cards yet, I will just act like Poliwag does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own. On its own, similar to the other Basic Pokemon I've reviewed from Evolutions recently, this card is just too slow on the attack to use as a starter type Pokemon, unless you don't care about not being able to attack the first turn or if you can get a Double Colorless energy card attached to Poliwag its first turn and somehow have both of the energy on that card count as water type. Otherwise, this is a card that deserves to be set up on the bench and either moved to the active Pokemon spot for a turn or two a few turns into the game or just evolved into Poliwhirl on the bench.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the XY Evolutions set. Like I stated above, other than not having a move that can be used with one energy card, this card is solid overall, with a good HP, low retreat cost, and an above average move. So if building a water type deck, this card is fairly powerful, but there should be better options out there for you, especially if you don't plan on using this entire line.

I think it's 14 or 15. If this is right my channel name is D1AndOnly. I am a viewer of your channel and like to watch you open packs because my parents don't like it when I open packs and when you do it it gives me the same feel . Thank you for doing what you do

In the evolutions set, there are 15 total cards that are water types, the 15th being the Full-Art Mega Blastoise. Also, as a bonus, the "secret-rare" Surfing Pikachu requires 2 water energies to attack, but is not a water type. Thanks for being such an awesome YouTuber and my channel is Madness Media:
