Clefable -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Clefable Guardians Rising Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Clefable from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set.  Clefable is a Stage 1, Fairy type Pokemon card, with a HP of 100. It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Clefable does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Lullaby, for one Colorless Energy card, this move does 20 damage, plus it puts the defending Pokemon to Sleep.  Meteor Mash is the name of this card's second move, for three Energy cards, one Fairy and two Colorless, this move does 60 damage, plus during Clefable's next turn, this move does 60 additional damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Clefable is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Clefairy into play (I reviewed Clefairy from this set yesterday) and then evolve Clefairy into Clefable.  If you read yesterday's review of Clefairy, you'll know that I thought it was an average Basic Pokemon card overall.  Although the card was limited overall, only doing a maximum of 10 damage per turn, the card did have two moves, a solid HP, and low retreat cost, and could be used as either a starter type Pokemon in a Fairy type deck, or as a way to spread damage around in a spread attack type deck.  Knowing this about Clefairy and looking at this Clefable card, it would make more sense to use this Pokemon line as starter type Pokemon, getting Clefable into the Active Pokemon spot the second turn into the game, doing 20 damage and then putting the defending Pokemon to sleep with Lullaby, therefore giving you time to set up your Benched Pokemon.  This card is also very powerful, doing 90 damage per turn on average if you set Clefable up on the Bench and use Meteor Mash every turn.

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 Guardians Rising set.  Similarly to Clefairy, this card has a solid HP, a low retreat cost, and two good moves.  I like how this card has a quick attack as well as one that does major damage after it is set up.  Together with Clefairy from this set, which I also thought was average and gave a 3 out of 5 rating, I would give both cards combined a 3 out of 5 rating, it is a solid line overall.
