Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Noivern GX from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set. Noivern GX is a Stage 1, Dragon type Pokemon card, with a HP of 200. It has a x2 weakness to Fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a free retreat cost. This card does not have an Ability, but it does have three different moves, two regular moves and one GX move. The first move on this card is called Distort, for two Energy cards, one each of Darkness and Colorless, this move does 50 damage, plus it makes it so your opponent is unable to play any Item cards from their hand during their next turn. Sonic Volume is the second move on this card, for three Energy cards, one each of Psychic, Darkness, and Metal, this move does 120 damage, plus it makes it so your opponent is unable to play any Special Energy cards from their hand during their next turn. The GX attack on this card is called Boomburst GX, for three Energy cards, one each of Psychic, Darkness, and Colorless, this move does 50 damage to each of your opponent's Pokemon.
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 Noivern card, so you do not need to first play Noivern and then evolve it into Noivern GX, instead you can evolve Noibat directly into Noivern 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. There is a Noibat card in this set, but I haven't reviewed it yet, it is a Colorless type Pokemon. Just looking at this Noivern GX card, the first thing you'll want to note is that it requires two distinct Energy types to attack, Darkness and Psychic, so if you are building that type of deck, there is certainly merit for including this card. I like how the first two moves on this card not only do a fair amount of damage, but do something more, preventing your opponent from attaching Special Energy cards or using Item cards can really hinder them, making it that much easier to win the battle. With Zoroark GX so popular and its Riotous Beating move requiring a full Bench, this card's GX attack can do 300 total damage, which is pretty amazing. So if you're building a dual type deck, Psychic and Darkness, or building a spread attack type deck, this card is certainly one to consider.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. In my opinion this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon GX card from the Burning Shadows set. Like I mentioned above, if placed in the right type of deck, this card is pretty versatile, being able to do a good amount of damage, to your opponent's Active Pokemon and their Benched Pokemon, as well as inflicting other conditions on your opponent making them unable to set up their deck. So while this card isn't that great, it is certainly a card to consider when deck building.
