Slowking -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Slowking from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Slowking is a Stage 1, Psychic type Pokemon card, with a HP of 120. It has a x2 weakness to Psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two 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 Drift Ashore, for one Psychic Energy card, this move allows you to search your deck for a card and put it into your hand.  Unarmed is the name of this card's second move, for three Psychic Energy cards, this move does 110 damage, plus, if you have no cards in your hand, you may ignore all Energy costs associated with this attack.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Slowking is a Stage 1 Pokemon with a Basic evolution form in Slowpoke, which is most recently in the Guardians Rising set, you'll have to first get Slowpoke into play before you can use this card.  Because this card requires only Psychic Energy to attack, it will be harder to fit into decks, but if you are building a majority Psychic type deck, this card and line is worth a look.  Early in a game, Drift Ashore can be very useful, it is almost like using Tapu Lele GX, but in this case you can get the exact card you need, but you have to be in the Active Pokemon spot to do so.  Unarmed is a pretty powerful move in my opinion if you can get no cards in your hand at all, making it so for only one Energy card, this card can use both of its moves.  Playing the online TCG, I have seen this Slowking card being used, mainly with Lunala GX decks.  Again, if you're building a majority Psychic type deck, this is certainly a line to consider, at least using a 1-1 line of it.

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 card from the Burning Shadows set.  In the competitive TCG, if you're able to attach a Float Stone Trainer to this card, you can move it in and out of the Active Pokemon spot with ease, helping set up your Bench as well as to do 110 damage for little Energy.  This card is both a powerful attacker and a handy Pokemon for setting up the main Pokemon in your deck.  So certainly consider this card when building a Psychic type deck.
