Watchog -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Watchog from the Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Set.  Watchog is a Stage 1, Colorless type Pokemon card, with a HP of 90. It has a x2 weakness to Fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  This card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Scrutinize, for one Colorless Energy card, this move allows you to discard one of the top two cards of your opponent's deck, after viewing their top two cards.  Slam is the name of this card's second move, for three Colorless Energy cards, this move does 60 damage times the number of heads when you get two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Watchog is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Patrat into play (I reviewed Patrat from this set yesterday) and then evolve Patrat into Watchog.  If you read yesterday's review of Patrat, you'll know that I thought it was a below average Basic Pokemon card overall.  The card did have a solid HP, low retreat cost, and two moves, but it required two Energy cards to do damage when attacking, and its first move could only look at your opponent's top card, so I stated that Patrat shouldn't be used on its own, instead you should either not use it in a deck at all, or you could set it up on the Bench to get to Watchog.  Knowing this about Patrat and looking at this Watchog card, unless you really want to see the cards in your opponent's deck, there is really no reason to use this line in a deck at all, especially if you're trying to use this card as an attacker, since Slam can't do any damage if you end up flipping two tails.  So although neither card in this line is terrible, I would probably pass on using this Pokemon family in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this card is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card overall.  Similarly to Patrat, this card has a solid HP, a low retreat cost, and two moves, however, neither move on this card is that great.  Combine that with a below average Pokemon in Patrat from this set, and both cards from the Guardians Rising set get a 2 out of 5 rating from me.
