Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Seadra from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card set. Seadra is a Stage 1, Water type Pokemon card, with a HP of 80. It has a x2 weakness to Grass 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 that Seadra has is called Water Arrow, for one Water Energy card, this move does 30 damage to one of your opponent's Pokemon.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Seadra is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Horsea into play (I reviewed Horsea from this set yesterday) and then evolve Horsea into Seadra. Horsea does have a Stage 2 evolution in Kingdra, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Seadra is the final evolution in this line. So if you read my review of Horsea, you'll know that I thought that card was an average to slightly below average Basic Pokemon card. The card had a solid HP, could attack for only one Energy, and had a low retreat cost, the only thing negative with the card was that it was limited by having only one move that could do a maximum of only 10 damage. Knowing this about Horsea and looking at this Seadra card, this card is very similar to Horsea, in just having the one move that requires only one Energy card, and this move being able to attack any of your opponent's Pokemon in play, but instead of doing 10 damage 30. While this card can certainly do more damage than Horsea, as a Stage 1 Pokemon, it is limited by having a low HP, so this is another below average card overall and a line I would shy away from unless Kingdra in this set is excellent.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. In my opinion this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set. Although I like that this card can attack quickly and do 30 damage to any Pokemon in play, this card has too low of a HP and is too restricted by having only one move to want me to use in a deck. Together with Horsea from this set, which is very similar, I would give these two cards a 2 out of 5 rating, the same rating I gave each card individually.
