Weepinbell -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Weepinbell from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card set.  Weepinbell is a Stage 1, Grass type Pokemon card, with a HP of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to Fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Weepinbell does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Muddy Acid, for two Energy cards, one each of Grass and Colorless, this move does 40 damage, plus it allows you to discard an Energy card from your opponent's Active Pokemon if you get a heads when flipping a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Weepinbell is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Bellsprout into play (I reviewed Bellsprout from this set yesterday) and then evolve Bellsprout into Weepinbell.  Weepinbell does have a Stage 2 evolution in Victreebel, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Weepinbell is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review of Bellsprout, you'll know that I thought it was a below average Basic Pokemon card overall, its only downside being it required two Energy cards to attack instead of one, otherwise it had a solid HP, low retreat cost, and could do up to 30 damage when attacking.  So knowing this about Bellsprout and looking at this Weepinbell card, this card isn't much of an improvement over Bellsprout, so if you aren't using Bellsprout in your deck already, there is no reason to use Weepinbell either, it can only do 10 more damage per turn, plus it has a below average HP for a Stage 1 Pokemon.  Because both Pokemon in this line only have one move, I would recommend either evolving this entire line on the Bench to get to Victreebel, or, using the attack each card has, when in the Active Pokemon spot.

Pokemon Card Rating:  
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Guardians Rising set.  Similarly to Bellsprout, this card is very limited in what it can do, only having one move, add to this the fact it has a below average HP and a higher retreat cost, and this card is one you'll want to avoid, especially if you're not using Victreebel in your deck.  Together with Bellsprout from this set, I am giving the two Pokemon a 2 out of 5 rating, the same rating I gave each card individually.

Bellsprout -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bellsprout from the Guardians Rising set.  This is the first card that I've reviewed from the Guardians Rising set.  Bellsprout is a Basic, Grass type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Bellsprout does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Vine Whip, for two Energy cards, one each of Grass and Colorless, this move does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bellsprout is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Weepinbell, and a Stage 2 evolution in Victreebel, 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 Bellsprout does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, although this card can do a fair amount of damage with its only move, because the card just has one move, and it requires two Energy cards instead of one to use, I would recommend passing on using this card on its own.  If you want to use this card as a start to this entire Pokemon family, I would recommend using it.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Guardians Rising set.  Like I stated above, the main thing making this card slightly below average is its slow attack, other than that, this card has a solid HP, low retreat cost, and very good move.  So again, if you're looking for a starter type Pokemon to use in your deck, I would look elsewhere, but there are plenty of cards out there worse than this Bellsprout.

Oranguru -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Oranguru from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Oranguru is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 120.  Oranguru has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Oranguru's Ability is called Instruct and allows you to once per turn, draw cards until you have 3 cards in your hand.  Besides the Ability, Oranguru just has one move called Psychic, for three Colorless Energy cards, this move does 60 damage plus 20 more damage times the amount of Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Oranguru is a Basic Pokemon card with no evolution forms, you'll only have to use this card in a deck if you want to use Oranguru.  So knowing this, this is a very good card to include in almost any type deck, you only need to use one, you can then store it on your Bench, utilizing its Ability the whole game, and making sure you always have cards in your hand.  Plus, if you put Energy cards on this card, you can do major damage to your opponent's Pokemon that have lots of Energy cards attached to them, or, just having Oranguru on your Bench may prevent or discourage your opponent from attaching lots of Energy cards to their Pokemon.  Overall, I would definitely consider putting one of these in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion this is an above average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Other than being slow to attack and having only one move, this card is solid overall, its Ability can replace Trainer cards in your deck, and the card can fit into any type deck since it only requires Colorless Energy cards to attack, and can always do at least average damage when attacking.  So this is a great card overall, and one worth considering when deck building.

Bewear -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bewear from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Bewear is a Stage 1, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 130. It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Bewear does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  This card's first move is called Bear Hug, for two Colorless Energy cards, this move does 40 damage, plus it makes the defending Pokemon unable to retreat during your opponent's next turn.  Superpower is the name of Bewear's second move, for three Colorless Energy cards this move does 80 damage plus 40 more damage if you do 20 damage to Bewear.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bewear is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Stufful into play (I reviewed Stufful from this set yesterday) and then evolve Stufful into Bewear.  If you read yesterday's review of Bewear, you'll know that I thought it was a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card overall, although the card had an above average HP and could do 30 damage when attacking, both its attack cost and retreat cost required two Energy cards, so for a Basic Pokemon it was limited in what it could do and was somewhat slow.  So knowing this about Stufful and looking at this Bewear card, this card is also somewhat slow on the attack, so if you'd like to use this line in a deck, it would make more sense to use 1 of each and set them up on the Bench, that way you could move Bewear into the Active Pokemon spot immediately and do 80 plus damage.  This card can fit into any type deck since it requires only Colorless Energy to attack, and can be made quicker if Double Colorless Energy cards are used instead of Basic Energy.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Other than being a little slow on the attack, this card is solid overall, with a high HP, and two powerful moves.  Add this line into any deck lacking some power, especially if you're already using 4 Double Colorless Energy cards.  Together with Stufful from this set, I would give these two cards a 3 out of 5 rating.

Stufful -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Stufful from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Stufful is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Stufful does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This card's only move is called Tackle, for two Colorless Energy cards, this move does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Stufful is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Bewear, 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, the only way I would recommend using this card in a deck is if you're planning on having 4 Double Colorless Energy cards in your deck, that way, you could try and use Stufful as a starter type Pokemon, be able to attack for only one Special Energy card, doing 30 damage a turn, and only need one Special Energy card to retreat.  If you aren't using Special Energy, although Tackle is a decent move, I would look for a quicker Basic Pokemon to use in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Bewear, this is a slightly below average Basic Pokemon card overall.  Like I mentioned above, this card definitely has some use, however, since it can't attack for only one Basic Energy card, I cannot say this card is average, and it should not be used without using Bewear in your deck.

Gumshoos GX -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Gumshoos GX from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Gumshoos GX is a Stage 1, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 210.  It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Gumshoos GX has an Ability called Search the Premises that says once per turn, you may have your opponent reveal their hand.  Besides the Ability, Gumshoos GX has one regular move and one GX move.  Its regular move is called Headbutt Bounce, for three Colorless Energy cards, this move does 100 damage.  Gumshoos GX's GX move is called Gumshoe Chance GX, for one Colorless Energy card, this move does 10 damage plus 50 more damage times the amount of Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, first off, the way a Pokemon GX works is that it is used instead of a regular Gumshoos card, so you do not need to first play Gumshoos and then evolve it into Gumshoos GX, instead you can evolve Yungoos directly into Gumshoos GX.  In play, only one GX move can be used during the entire game, and once a Pokemon GX is knocked out, two prize cards are taken instead of one.  If you read my review of Yungoos from this set, you'll know that I thought it was a very solid Basic Pokemon card overall, one that could be used on its own in a deck, specifically as a starter type Pokemon, since it could attack for only one Energy card, had a low retreat cost and an above average HP.  Knowing this about Yungoos and looking at this Gumshoos GX card, you could still use up to 4 Yungoos cards in a deck as starter Pokemon, but I would certainly include 1 Gumshoos GX card, mainly for its Ability, giving you the chance to see your opponent's hand every turn via Gumshoos GX's Ability is a great way to figure out your opponent's strategy, and potentially give you an advantage against them.  Although Headbutt Bounce does well above average damage, its GX move goes well with the idea of just keeping Gumshoos GX on the Bench, since you can move it to the Active Pokemon spot only when the defending Pokemon has multiple Energy cards on it, using Gumshoe Chance GX and knocking it out in one turn.  Overall, this is a very good GX card, and one I would recommend using in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average Stage 1 Pokemon GX from the Sun and Moon set.  Like I mentioned above, this card works well both from the Bench, using its Ability and as an attacker, not only is its GX move good, but its regular move does a good amount of damage every turn.  Combined with Yungoos from this set, I would give these two cards a 5 out of 5 rating, I think combined, they are very good, and should certainly be in decks.

Yungoos -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Yungoos from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Yungoos is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 70.  It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Yungoos does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Tackle, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 10 damage.  Bite is the name of Yungoos' second move, for two Colorless Energy cards this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Yungoos is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Gumshoos, 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, this card would work well as a starter type Pokemon in almost any type deck, since it can attack for only one Energy card, and a Colorless type Energy at that.  Add in the fact that Yungoos has a solid HP, low retreat cost, and the ability to do up to 20 damage per turn, and although not a spectacular card by any means, it is one that should definitely be considered when deck building.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Gumshoos GX, this is an average Basic Pokemon card overall.  Like I mentioned above, there isn't really anything spectacular about this card, but there aren't any negatives on the card either, so if you're looking for a very solid card to use in your deck, I would recommend this card.

Toucannon -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Toucannon from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Toucannon is a Stage 2, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 140.  It has a x2 weakness to Lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Fighting type Pokemon, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Toucannon does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Echoed Voice, for two Colorless Energy cards this move does 60 damage, plus it makes this move do 60 additional damage during your next turn.  Toucannon's second move is called Beak Blast, for three Colorless Energy cards, this move does 100 damage, plus Burns the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when flipping a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Toucannon is a Stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Pikipek into play and then evolve it into Trumbeak before you can evolve Trumbeak into Toucannon, 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 overall.  Both Pikipek and Trumbeak had below average HP, and one move, both moves having the potential to do a fair amount of damage, but the cards were just limited overall in what they could do.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking Toucannon, this line would be a great one to use in any type deck, because both Pikipek and Trumbeak can attack for one Energy card, you could certainly use both in the Active Pokemon spot a turn then evolve them the next turn.  You could also set this line up on the Bench, whatever you decide to do, since all three Pokemon in this line only require Colorless Energy cards to attack, the line will fit into any type deck, and once you have Toucannon set up, it can do major damage, either 60 then 120 damage a turn, or 100 damage every turn plus the potential to Burn the defending Pokemon.  So, if you're looking for a good attacking Pokemon family for a deck, I would recommend this one.

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 Sun and Moon set.  Really, the only downside to this card is its slightly low HP of 140, otherwise, this card has two great moves, both having potential to do major damage.  Combine this card with Pikipek and Trumbeak from the set, and as a whole, I would give this line a 4 out of 5 rating, all three Pokemon work well together and should be considered when deck building.

Trumbeak -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Trumbeak from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card set.  Trumbeak is a Stage 1, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to Lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Fighting type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Trumbeak does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Bullet Seed, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 20 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 4 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Trumbeak is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Pikipek into play (I reviewed Pikipek from this set yesterday) and then evolve Pikipek into Trumbeak.  Pikipek does have a Stage 2 evolution in Toucannon, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Trumbeak is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review of Pikipek, you'll know I thought that card was below average overall, mainly due to its low HP, other than that, the one move it did have was solid, doing up to 20 damage for only one Colorless Energy card.  So knowing this about Pikipek and looking at this Trumbreak card, this card is similar to its Basic evolution form, having one decent move, but a low HP.  Because of this, I would pass on using the first two Pokemon in this line without using Toucannon.  The only way I would use this line without Toucannon would be if you're already using multiple Trick Coin Trainer cards in your deck, that way, you have two chances at doing major damage when using Bullet Seed.

Pokemon Card Rating:  
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Similarly to Pikipek from yesterday, this card has the potential to do a good amount of damage when attacking, but because it has a low HP and only one move, I am giving it a below average rating overall.  Together with Pikepek, these two Pokemon get a 2 out of 5 rating from me.

Pikipek -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Pikipek from the Sun and Moon set.  Pikipek is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to Lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Fighting type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Pikipek does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Rock Smash, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 10 damage plus 10 more damage if you get a heads when flipping a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Pikipeak is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Trumbeak, and a Stage 2 evolution in Toucannon, 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 Pikipek does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, although this card has potential to do above average damage as a starter type Pokemon in a deck, because it has a below average HP and its only move is based off of a coin flip, I would recommend passing on this card.  If you plan on using this Pikipek card to start off this line in a deck, it is a good start, just not that good of card on its own.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Like I stated above, the main thing working against this card is its below average HP, other than that, this card has a low retreat cost, and the potential to do up to 20 damage per turn when attacking.  On its own, I wouldn't recommend using this card, but it is a good start to the line.

Stoutland -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Stoutland from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Stoutland is a Stage 2, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 150.  It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Stoutland does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Ferocious Bellow, for three Colorless Energy cards this move does 50 damage, plus it makes the move your opponent uses during their next turn do 50 less damage.  Stoutland's second move is called Hammer In, for four Colorless Energy cards, this move does 120 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Stoutland is a Stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Lillipup into play and then evolve it into Herdier before you can evolve Herdier into Stoutland, 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 overall.  Lillipup had a solid HP, and could do up to 40 damage per turn, but of the two moves it did have, only one could do damage, and that move required two Energy cards to attack.  Herdier was similar to Lillipup in that it had a solid HP and a low retreat cost, but Herdier's one move was slow and under-powered, the only reason you'd want to use the card was for its Ability, which you could utilize from the Bench.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at this Stoutland card, if you want to use this entire line in a deck, I would set it up on the Bench, therefore utilizing Herdier's Ability and making it so Stoutland can attack as soon as it gets into the Active Pokemon spot, also, I would recommend using 4 Double Colorless Energy cards in your deck, so Stoutland could do 120 damage for only two Energy cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  With the caveat of using Double Colorless Energy cards as opposed to Basic Energy cards, this card is very solid overall, able to do above average damage for both of its moves and having the potential to fit into any type deck, as well as be a more defensive card with its Ferocious Bellow move.  Altogether, with Lillipup and Herdier from this set, I would give this line a 2 out of 5 rating, although Stoutland is solid, the first two Pokemon in this line weigh the entire line down too much.

Herdier -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Herdier from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card set.  Herdier is a Stage 1, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Herdier's Ability is called Treasure Hunt and says that when you play Herdier from your hand to evolve one of your Pokemon, you may put and Item card from your discard pile into your hand.  Besides the Ability, this card has just one move called Bite, for three Colorless Energy cards, this move does 50 damage.

So as far as strategy goes, since Herdier is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Lillipup into play (I reviewed Lillipup from this set yesterday) and then evolve Lillipup into Herdier.  Lillipup does have a Stage 2 evolution in Stoutland, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Herdier is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review of Lillipup, you'll know that I thought it was a below average Basic Pokemon overall, at least on its own.  The card couldn't be used as a starter type Pokemon since it required two Energy cards to attack, so it was slow, however, it could do up to 40 damage per turn for only two Colorless Energy cards and it did have an average HP and low retreat cost.  So knowing this about Lillipup and looking at this Herdier card, the only reason you'd want to play this card is for its Ability, since you can retrieve an Item card from your discard pile when evolving Lillipup into Herdier.  Herdier's only move, Bite, does below average damage, and there are lots of Pokemon out there that can do either more than 50 damage for three Energy cards, or do 50 damage for less than three Energy cards.  So, unless you can continuously evolve and devolve Herdier on the Bench, I would pass on using this line.

Pokemon Card Rating:  
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Similarly to Herdier, this card is somewhat solid overall, having a good HP, low retreat cost, plus one move and an Ability, but the only thing that is above average overall is its Ability, other than that, there is no reason to use this card.  Combined with Lillipup from this set, I would give this line a 2 out of 5 rating.

Lillipup -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Lillipup from the Sun and Moon set.  Lillipup is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Lillipup does not have an Ability but the card does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Work Up, for one Colorless Energy card this move increases Lillipup's attacks by 20 during your next turn.  Lillipup's second move is called Bite, for two Colorless Energy cards, this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Lillipup is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Herdier, and a Stage 2 evolution in Stoutland, 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 Lillipup does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, I would not recommend using this card in a deck, mainly because it is slow on the attack, requiring two Energy cards to attack.  Although you could use a Double Colorless Energy card to attack with this card, since Lillipup just has the one move that can do damage when attacking, it is best served on the Bench waiting for it to evolve into Herdier.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Like I stated above, since this card requires two Energy cards to attack, it isn't a good starter type Pokemon, with only 60 HP, making it useless later in games.  So my advice on this card would be to avoid it altogether unless you plan on using Herdier and Stoutland in your deck.

Spinda -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spinda from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Spinda is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 80.  Spinda has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Spinda does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move on this card is called Teeter Punch, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 30 damage plus Confuses the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spinda is a Basic Pokemon card with no evolution forms, you'll only have to use this card in a deck if you want to use Spinda.  So knowing this, this is essentially a perfect starter type Pokemon card to use in a deck, regardless of the type of deck you're building.  You can include 4 of these in a deck, getting it into the Active Pokemon spot to start the game, then not only doing above average damage the first turn, but Confusing the defending Pokemon, making them potentially unable to attack and doing damage to themselves as well.  The only downfall on this card is that it just has the one move, but with 80 HP, this card should even be able to hold its own later in games.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 5 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion this is an above average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Other than just having the one move, this card is great, it has an above average HP, low retreat cost, and does above average damage for only one Energy card.  Add in the fact it inflicts a Special Condition when attacking, and I would highly recommend using this card in a deck.

Eevee -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Eevee from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Eevee is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Eevee's Ability is called Energy Evolution and says that when you attach a Basic Energy card from your hand to Eevee, you may search your deck for a Pokemon that evolves from Eevee that is the same type as the Energy card you just attached and evolve Eevee into that Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Eevee has just one move called Quick Draw, for one Colorless Energy card this move allows you to draw a card if you get a heads when flipping a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Eevee is a Basic Pokemon card with multiple Stage 1 evolution forms, you'll definitely want to use this card with those Pokemon, both Espeon and Umbreon GX are in the Sun and Moon set and I've reviewed them in the past.  On its own, there is not much of a reason to use this card, since its Ability benefits a player using one of Eevee's evolution forms, and its only move is based off of a coin flip a can't do damage when attacking.  But, if your plan is to use this card with an evolution of Eevee, this card is very solid, since it makes it very easy to evolve Eevee into that Pokemon, all you have to do is attach an Energy card.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering any of the Eeveelutions, this card is below average, but considering a Stage 1 evolution, this card is solid overall, and certainly a card you'd want to use in a deck.  So like I mentioned above, this card has no use on its own, but is good otherwise.

Tauros GX -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Tauros GX from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Tauros GX is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 180.  It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Tauros GX does not have an Ability but it does have three moves.  The first move that this card has is called Rage, for two Colorless Energy cards this move does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Tauros GX.  This card's second move is called Horn Attack, for two Colorless Energy cards this move does 60 damage.  The final attack on this card is called Mad Bull GX, for two Colorless Energy cards this move does 30 damage times the number of damage counters on Tauros GX.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, first off, the way a Pokemon GX works is that it is used instead of a regular Tauros card, so you do not need to first play Tauros and then evolve it into Tauros GX.  In play, only one GX move can be used during the entire game, and once a Pokemon GX is knocked out, two prize cards are taken instead of one.  The first thing you'll notice about this card is that all three moves require two Colorless Energy cards or one Double Colorless Energy card, so it is a very fast attacker, no matter the move you want use.  Because of this, this card would make an excellent starter for any type deck, outside of its high retreat cost.  This card would also work well on your Bench and then having a powerful move on another Pokemon that in addition to doing major damage to the defending Pokemon, it does damage to one or all of your own Benched Pokemon.  You could then keep Tauros on the Bench and accumalate damage there, then use its Mad Bull GX move doing up to 510 damage in one turn!  So if you're looking for a quick attacker, that has potential to one hit KO your opponent's Pokemon, this is a card that should be considered.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average Pokemon GX overall.  Like I've mentioned several times in this review, I really like how quick this card is and how it has the potential to do major damage.  I know this card is over-powered, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great card to use in a deck!

Kangaskhan -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kangaskhan from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Kangaskhan is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a HP of 130.  Kangaskhan has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Kangaskhan does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Cross-Cut, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 30 damage plus 30 more damage if the defending Pokemon is an Evolution Pokemon.  Kangaskhan's second move is called Hurricane Punch, for four Colorless Energy cards this move does 50 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip 4 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Kangaskhan is a Basic Pokemon card with no evolution forms, you'll only have to use this card in a deck if you want to use Kangaskhan.  So knowing this, this card is similar to the Fearow card from yesterday, you can just put one Energy card on Kangaskhan on the Bench then if the defending Pokemon is a Pokemon other than a Basic Pokemon you can move Kangaskhan into the Active Pokemon spot and do 60 damage per turn with Cross-Cut.  If you have a Trick Coin Trainer in your deck and some Double Colorless Energy cards, you could easily use Hurricane Punch for potentially 200 damage per turn.  Because you can set up Kangaskhan up on the Bench to use Cross-Cut and the fact Hurricane Punch requires so many Energy cards to use, I would recommend only using 1 of these in a deck, unless your set on using this card as a starter type Pokemon, then you could certainly use 4.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Like I mentioned above, there are a couple of different strategies to use with this card, since it can do major damage with both moves it has.  This card can also fit into any type deck out there as a starter type Pokemon doing 30 damage for only one Energy card.  Really, the only downside to this card is its high retreat cost, so you'll want to use a Switch Trainer to retreat it for free.

Fearow -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Fearow from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Fearow is a Stage 1, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 90. It has a x2 weakness to Lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Fighting type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Fearow does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  This card's first move is called Devastating Wind, for one Colorless Energy card this move makes your opponent shuffle their hand into their deck and draw three new cards.  Fearow's second move is called Slashing Strike, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 60 damage, however this move can't be used 2 turns in a row.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Fearow is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Spearow into play (I reviewed Spearow from this set yesterday) and then evolve Spearow into Fearow.  If you read yesterday's review of Spearow, you'll know that I thought it was an average Basic Pokemon card overall, it had a solid move, a low retreat cost, and although it only had one move, this move could do up to 40 damage per turn for only 1 Energy card.  So knowing this about Spearow and looking at this Fearow card, you could put this line into a deck that features a way to freely move Pokemon into and out of the Active Pokemon spot, that way you could use Slashing Strike every other turn and do 60 damage for only one Colorless Energy card.  Although I wish Devastating Wind was on a Basic Pokemon card, this move could ruin your opponent's strategy, especially early in games.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  The only real downside to this card is that it can only do damage when attacking every other turn, otherwise, this card has a solid HP, both moves it has can be used quickly, and it has a low retreat cost.  Overall, this line of Spearow and Fearow is solid, I would give the two cards a combined 3 out of 5 rating, the same rating I gave each card individually.

Spearow -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Spearow from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Spearow is a Basic, Colorless type Pokemon card with a 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.  Spearow does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This card's only move is called Peck Bugs, for one Colorless Energy this move does 10 damage, plus 30 more damage if your opponent's Active Pokemon is a Grass type Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Spearow is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Fearow, 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, this card could certainly be used as a starter type Pokemon in almost every type deck out there, since it can attack for only one Colorless Energy card.  You could also just keep one of these in a deck, put one Energy card on it on the Bench, and then if your opponent is using a Grass type Pokemon move Spearow to the Active Pokemon spot and do 40 damage for only one Energy card.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Fearow, this is an average Basic Pokemon card overall.  Other than being limited by only having one move, this card has a low retreat cost, solid HP, and a move that can do up to 40 damage for one Colorless Energy card, so it is definitely worth consideration when deck building.

Dragonite -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dragonite from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Dragonite is a Stage 2, Dragon type Pokemon card, with a HP of 160.  It has a x2 weakness to Fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a four Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Dragonite does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Dragon Wave, for two Energy cards, one each of Grass and Lightning, this move does 130 damage, however, you must discard a Grass and Lightning type Energy from Dragonite after using this move.  Dragonite's second move is called Giant Tail, for five Colorless Energy cards this move does 200 damage, however, you must flip a coin when using this move, if you get a tails, the move does nothing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Dragonite is a Stage 2 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Dratini into play and then evolve it into Dragonair before you can evolve Dragonair into Dragonite, 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 overall.  Without using Dragonite, both cards are just limited in what they can do, but when using Dragonite, both cards have moves that would benefit Dragonite, Dratini can get all three Pokemon in this line into your hand from your deck in one turn, and Dragonair can add an unlimited amount of Energy to itself when attacking.  So knowing this about the first two Pokemon in this line and looking at Dragonite, you'll definitely want to use Dragonair in the Active Pokemon spot first so that you can get a ton of Energy on it before evolving into Dragonite.  Yes, both of the moves on this Dragonite card can do major damage, but both moves require lots of Energy, and Dragon Wave makes you discard Energy cards after attacking too!  So, unless you're using 4 Trick Coin Trainer cards or have lots of Energy cards in your deck, I would be weary about using so many Energy cards on one specific Pokemon, because of this, if you're using this line in a deck, I would only use one of each.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an average Stage 2 Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  This card has a solid HP, and two moves that both can do major damage, but because this card requires so much Energy to attack, and has a high retreat cost, you'll not want to use many of these in a deck.  I do like how well Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite from this set work together, because of that, I would give the entire line a 3 out of 5 rating.

Dragonair -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dragonair from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card set.  Dragonair is a Stage 1, Dragon type Pokemon card, with a HP of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to Fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Dragonair does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Dragon's Wish, for one Colorless Energy card this move allows you to attach any number of Energy cards from your hand to Dragonair during your next turn.  Dragonair's second move is called Tail Smack, for three Energy cards, one each of Grass, Lightning, and Colorless, this move does 60 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Dragonair is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Dratini into play (I reviewed Dratini from this set yesterday) and then evolve Dratini into Dragonair.  Dratini does have a Stage 2 evolution in Dragonite, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Dragonair is the final evolution in this line.  So if you read my review of Dratini, you'll know that I thought it was a below average Basic Pokemon overall, at least on its own.  The card had a solid HP, and two moves, one that could get all three Pokemon in this family into your hand from your deck and the other could do 10 damage for one Energy card.  So knowing this about Dratini and looking at this Dragonair card, this is another card in this line that you'd only use in the Active Pokemon spot to set up Dragonite quicker.  So, if you plan on using Dratini and Dragonair without Dragonite, I would not recommend using the cards from this set.  Although Dragonair does do average damage with Tail Smack, because it requires three distinct types of Energy, I would look elsewhere.

Pokemon Card Rating:  
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Similarly to Dratini, if you're not using this card with Dragonite, it just isn't that good, since Dragonair's first move, Dragon's Wish, greatly helps Dragonite with its attack.  So together with Dratini from this set, I would give the first two Pokemon in this line a 2 out of 5 rating, the same rating I gave each card individually.

Dratini -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dratini from the Sun and Moon set.  Dratini is a Basic, Dragon type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Dratini does not have an Ability but the card does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Signs of Evolution, for one Grass Energy card this move allows you to search your deck for a Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite, and put them into your hand.  Dratini's second move is called Tail Smack, for one Lightning Energy card this move does 10 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Dratini is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Dragonair, and a Stage 2 evolution in Dragonite, 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 Dratini does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, this card isn't one to use in a deck, even though it can do 10 damage for one Lightning Energy card, because its retreat cost is higher than its attack, I would pass on using the card.  Ideally, this card is a great card to play early in the game, that way you can use Signs of Evolution and get the remaining Pokemon for this line into your hand, and evolve the line into Dragonite quite quickly, so this card really only makes sense to play if you're using at least one of Dratini's evolution forms.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Although this card is below average on its own, it is solid overall if using with Dragonair and Dragonite, since it can do damage and get those Pokemon into your hand.  Otherwise, on its own, a card with 1 move that does 10 damage is pretty limited, so there are much better cards out there to use.

Ribombee -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ribombee from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Ribombee is a Stage 1, Fairy type Pokemon card, with a HP of 60. It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Ribombee's Ability is called Curative Pollen and says that once per turn you may heal 20 damage from one of your Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Ribombee's only move is called Fairy Wind, for one Fairy type Energy card this move does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ribombee is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Cutiefly into play (I reviewed Cutiefly from this set yesterday) and then evolve Cutiefly into Ribombee.  If you read yesterday's review of Cutiefly, you'll know that I thought it was a well below average Basic Pokemon overall, mainly due to its low HP, plus it only had one move that did a maximum of 10 damage.  So knowing this about Cutiefly and looking at this Ribombee card, this card also has an extremely low HP, especially for a Stage 1 Pokemon.  However, despite its low HP, this card can and should be used in many decks out there, mainly for its Ability, you can use a 1-1 line of this family in your deck and use Curative Pollen from the deck, healing 20 damage from one of your Pokemon each turn.  I wouldn't recommend putting Ribombee in the Active Pokemon spot because of its low HP, but the one move it does have, Fairy Wind, does do a fair amount of damage for only one Energy card.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Despite having a really low HP, one that is average on most Basic Pokemon cards, this card should be used in decks to help heal damage from your Pokemon while sitting on your Bench.  So, combined with Cutiefly from this set, I would still give this line a 4 out of 5 rating, all because I think Ribombee's Ability is that good.

Cutiefly -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cutiefly from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Cutiefly is a Basic, Fairy type Pokemon card with a HP of 30.  It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Cutiefly does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This card's only move is called Fly Around, for one Fairy type Energy card this move does 10 damage, plus, if any damage is done to Cutiefly during your opponent's next turn, if you get a heads when flipping a coin, all damage is prevented.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Cutiefly is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Ribombee, 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, I would definitely not recommend using this card in a deck, the main reason being that it has such a low HP.  I do like the fact Fly Around may help prevent damage, but this card is better suited to be in the Active Pokemon spot one turn, or evolved into Ribombee on the Bench.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Ribombee, this is a well below average Basic Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Like I mentioned above, because this card has such a low HP, there is really no reason to use it in a deck without using Ribombee.  You can easily find other Pokemon that can do 10 damage for one Energy card and ones that have a high HP than 30.

Granbull -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Granbull from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Granbull is a Stage 1, Fairy type Pokemon card, with a HP of 110. It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Granbull does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  This card's first move is called Dark Clamp, for one Fairy Energy card, this move does 30 damage, plus it makes the defending Pokemon unable to retreat during your opponent's next turn.  Granbull's second move is called Fight Back, for three Energy cards, one Fairy and two Colorless, this move does 50 damage plus 80 more damage if Granbull has any damage counters on it.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Granbull is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Snubbull into play (I reviewed Snubbull from this set yesterday) and then evolve Snubbull into Granbull.  If you read yesterday's review of Snubbull, you'll know that I thought it was a below average Basic Pokemon card overall, it did have an above average HP and could do 20 damage for only one Energy card, but it was limited in that it only had the one move, and the one move it did have could do damage to Snubbull when attacking.  So knowing this about Snubbull and looking at this Granbull card, it would actually make sense to try and use Snubbull as a starter type Pokemon in a deck, using its Reckless Charge move, doing 20 damage, and if you flip a tails and have to do 10 damage to Snubbull, when you evolve it into Granbull, Granbull's Fight Back move will do 130 damage instead of 50.  This Granbull card would also make sense to use in a deck which features a powerful attacker that may end up doing damage to all Pokemon in play, this Pokemon would again, make Fight Back do 130 damage instead of 50.  So, if you're building a Fairy type deck, or just looking for a powerful attacker, I would recommend giving this Granbull card a look.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Sun and Moon set.  Other than when attacking without damage on it, Granbull is a very solid Stage 1 Pokemon card overall, that can do up to 130 damage a turn for only three Energy cards.  Pair this card with Snubbull from the set, and I really like this line overall, I would give both cards in this line a 4 out of 5 rating, they work very well together.

Snubbull -- Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Snubbull from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set.  Snubbull is a Basic, Fairy type Pokemon card with a 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.  Snubbull does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  This card's only move is called Reckless Charge, for one Fairy Energy card, this move does 20 damage, however, when using this move, you must flip a coin, if you get a tails, Snubbull does 10 damage to itself.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Snubbull is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Granbull, 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, unless you're desperate for a Fairy type Pokemon card to use in your deck, I would pass on using this card.  Although Snubbull has an above average HP, and can do above average damage when attacking, because it is limited in only having one move and the one move it does have has the potential to do damage to itself, I would look elsewhere for Basic Pokemon to use, or make sure and use this card with Granbull.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Granbull, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card overall.  If you have some luck and can always flip a heads, this is a decent starter type Pokemon, but otherwise, keep it on the Bench or don't use it in your deck at all.
