Barboach -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Barboach from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set.  Barboach is a Basic, Fighting type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Barboach does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Hook, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 10 damage.  Mud-Slap is this card's second move, for two Energy cards, one each of Fighting and Colorless, this move does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Barboach is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Whiscash, 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, if you're looking for a solid, but not spectacular Fighting type Pokemon card to use as a starter in your deck, this card may be for you.  You can put this card into the Active Pokemon to start the game and start attacking right away.  Although a maximum of 20 damage per turn when attacking isn't too good, it is still decent to begin the game.  I wish this card would have had a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost instead of two, but you can always use a Trainer or another Pokemon's Ability to retreat it for free.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Whiscash, this is an average Basic Pokemon overall.  This card has an average HP, and two solid moves, both quick on the attack.  Like I mentioned above, although this card isn't spectacular by any means, it can still work well in a deck, especially at the beginning of the game or a means to get to Whiscash.
