Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Absol from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set. Absol is a Basic, Darkness type Pokemon card with a HP of 100. Absol has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Psychic type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost. Absol does not have an Ability but it does have two moves. Future Sight is this card's first move, for one Darkness Energy card, this move allows you to look at the top 4 cards of either player's deck and put them back in any order. Doom News is this card's second move, for two Energy cards, one each of Darkness and Colorless, this move knocks out the Defending Pokemon at the end of your opponent's next turn if you move all Energy cards attached to Absol back into your hand.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Absol 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 Absol. So knowing this, although this card is not guaranteed to do damage when attacking, I like both of its moves very well. Future Sight can help your team either by setting up one of your Pokemon by having certain cards on the top of your deck, or you could hurt your opponent by rearranging the top 4 cards of their deck, and making the cards they want most come a few turns later. Doom News is a very powerful move, ideally you would set Absol up on the Bench, then move Absol into the Active Pokemon spot to knock out a very powerful Pokemon, then use a Switch Trainer to retreat it for free after using Doom News one turn.
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 overall. Like I mentioned above, although this card can't do guaranteed damage when attacking, I am still a fan of this card overall. It does have an above average HP, a low retreat cost, and two quick attacking moves. I like how this card can be both a defensive and offensive card. So if you're building a Darkness type deck, I would recommend seeing if this card has a place in your deck.
