Sylveon GX -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Sylveon GX Guardians Rising Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sylveon GX from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set.  Sylveon GX is a Stage 1, Fairy type Pokemon card, with a HP of 200.  It has a x2 weakness to Metal type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Darkness type Pokemon, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Sylveon GX does not have an Ability but it does have three moves.  Its first move is called Magical Ribbon, for one Fairy Energy card, this move allows you to search your deck for up to 3 cards and put them into your hand.  Fairy Wind is this card's second move, for three Energy cards, one Fairy and two Colorless, this move does 110 damage.  Plea GX is this card's GX move, for three Energy cards, one Fairy and two Colorless, this move allows you to move 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokemon and all cards attached to those Pokemon back into your opponent's hand.

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 Sylveon card, so you do not need to first play Sylveon and then evolve it into Sylveon GX, instead you can evolve Eevee directly into Sylveon 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 most recent set to include an Eevee card is Sun & Moon Base Set, I have reviewed that card previously on my blog.  Looking at this card on its own, all three moves on this card are excellent.  Sylveon's first move can help quickly set up your deck, since it let's you move three cards from your deck to your hand, it doesn't matter if that is another Pokemon GX, Trainer, or Energy card.  This card also has great power, doling out 110 damage for only three Energy cards, which can knock out most Pokemon in two turns or less.  Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the GX move on this card, but it certainly can be useful, especially if your opponent is using a Stage 2 Pokemon on their Bench, or a Pokemon that requires several Energy to attack, this GX move can halt their strategy and give you quite the advantage.

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 Guardians Rising set.  Like I mentioned in detail above, there is just so much you can do with this card.  So if you're building a Fairy type deck, this card should certainly be up for consideration.  This card can help jump start your deck's strategy, halt your opponent's strategy, and do major damage every turn.
