Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Oddish from the Burning Shadows set. Oddish is a Basic, Grass type Pokemon card with a HP of 50. It has a x2 weakness to Fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost. This card does not have an Ability and it only has one move. The only move on this card is called Poison Powder, for one Grass Energy card, this move Poisons the defending Pokemon.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Oddish is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Gloom, and a Stage 2 evolution in Vileplume, 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 Oddish does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own. Also, Oddish does have a second Stage 2 evolution form in Bellossom, but the most recent set to include this Pokemon is Ancient Origins, which is no longer in the Standard Format for the Pokemon TCG. On its own, this card is very similar to Caterpie from this set which I gave a 0 out of 5 rating, it has a low HP, and only one move. Unlike Caterpie, at least this card can do something when attacking, since it isn't based off a coin flip. Poisoning the defending Pokemon at least lets you get 10 damage on that Pokemon between each player's turn. Because this card has a low HP, I would not recommend using on its own, this is a good start to this line, if you put this card into the Active Pokemon spot to start the game, Poison the defending Pokemon, then evolve Oddish into Gloom the next turn.
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 Burning Shadows set. Despite having a low HP and only one move, I do like the fact that the one move on this card has long lasting effects, even if Oddish is no longer in the Active Pokemon spot, but, like most Pokemon with low HP, this card makes zero sense to use in the Active Pokemon spot after the start of the game as it will get knocked out in one hit very easily. So like I mentioned above, this card isn't great on its own, but as a start to the line ending with Vileplume, it is decent.
