Persian -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Persian Burning Shadows Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Persian from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Persian 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 Screech, for one Colorless Energy card, this move makes it so that during your next turn, the defending Pokemon takes 60 more damage from attacks.  The second move on this card is called Slash, for one Colorless Energy card, this move does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Persian is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Meowth into play (I reviewed Meowth from this set yesterday) and then evolve Meowth into Persian.  If you read yesterday's review of Meowth, you'll know that I thought it was an average Basic Pokemon card overall.  The card had a solid HP, and one quick-attacking move, that did 10 damage plus had the potential to Paralyze the defending Pokemon.  So knowing this about Meowth from the set and looking at this Persian card, this line is intriguing from a deck building perspective.  You can either put one Energy card on Persian, use Screech one turn and Slash the second to do 100 damage in two turns, or, you could attach a Float Stone to this card or Guzma it out the turn after using Screech, and essentially do 60 more damage with any of your Pokemon's moves.  If you retreat this card after using Screech, most Pokemon GX should be able to knock out every Pokemon possible in that Active Pokemon spot in one turn.  Personally, I haven't seen this line being too popular, but this is a decent card in my opinion, and if you're looking to build a budget-friendly deck, certainly give this card a look.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set.  This card really doesn't have any negatives, I like that it can be used in any type deck and do damage for only one Energy card.  Like I mentioned above, this is a good attacker in a budget-friendly deck.  Combined with Meowth from yesterday, I would give this line a 4 out of 5 rating.
