Bagon 55/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Bagon Roaring Skies Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bagon from the Roaring Skies set.  Bagon is a basic, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Bagon does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability but this Bagon card does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Leer, for one colorless energy card this move paralyzes the defending Pokemon if you get a heads when you flip a coin.  Bagon's second move is called Almost Fight, this move requires two energy cards to use, one each of fire and water, and does 30 damage, however Bagon does do 10 damage to itself.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bagon is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Shelgon, and a Stage 2 evolution in Salamance, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use some of those Pokemon with this card, however, since I have not reviewed any of those cards yet, I will write like I plan on using Bagon on its own, however I will compare both Bagon cards at the end of this section.  So, on its own, I can not recommend using this card in a deck, I say this mainly because Bagon is a little slower on the attack to do any damage and even though this card has an average HP, if you use Almost Fight several times, you'll get knocked out pretty fast.  I wouldn't recommend using either Bagon card from this set on their own, but if you had to choose one to use with the rest of this Pokemon line, this card would be better than yesterday's mainly because this card can for sure do damage every turn when attacking whereas yesterday's card was based on a coin flip, so in the case you have to put Bagon into the active Pokemon spot, this card would fair better.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  There are some positives about this card, mainly its HP which is average and the fact it has two moves.  I would have liked to see this card be able to attack for only one energy and do damage, but the move that requires two energy cards on this card does do above average damage although it damages Bagon which is the reason I'm giving this card a lower rating.  So if stuck between which Bagon card to use from this set, use this card.

Bagon 54/108 -- Roaring Skies Pokemon Card Review

Bagon Roaring Skies Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bagon from the Roaring Skies set.  Bagon is a basic, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fairy type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Bagon does not have an Ancient Trait or an Ability and it only has one move.  The only move that this card has is called Continuous Headbutt, this move requires two energy cards to use, one each of fire and colorless, and does 30 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip a coin until you get a tails.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bagon is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Shelgon, and a Stage 2 evolution in Salamance, which I'll be reviewing the next few days, you'll more than likely want to use some of those Pokemon with this card, however, since I have not reviewed any of those cards yet, and have not reviewed the second Bagon card from this set, this post will act like I am only aware of this Bagon card and that I would be using it on its own.  So on its own, I would not recommend using this card in a deck at all.  Besides having an average HP and low retreat cost, this card is not good at all.  Not only does this card not attack quickly, but the one move it does have is based on a coin flip and if you flip a tails right away, the move does absolutely nothing.  So unless you're a real gambler, I would not recommend using this card in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a well below average Basic Pokemon card from the Roaring Skies set.  The main reason I'm giving this card such a low rating is because it only has one move and that move is a coin flip based move that gives you a 50/50 chance of not doing any damage at all when attacking.  For a Basic Pokemon I want something that can attack quickly and that can do damage every single turn.  Definitely look elsewhere for cards to use in your deck.

Bagon -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Bagon Plasma Blast Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Bagon from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Bagon is a basic, metal type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Bagon does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Headbutt, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage.  Bagon's second move is called Dragon Claw, this move requires two energy cards, one each of water and fire, and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Bagon is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Shelgon and a stage 2 evolution in Salamence, which I'll be reviewing the next two days, you'll more than likely want to use those cards with this Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolutions.  So on its own, you would have no need to use this card unless you're specifically building a water and fire dual type deck.  If you're building a single type deck, keep this card away from it.  But if you are building that dual type deck, I could see having up to 2 of these cards in that deck.  This card is a good starter type Pokemon since it has a low retreat cost and two moves that require a maximum of two energy cards to use.  I would want to get this card into the active Pokemon spot early in the game and use whichever move you have the energy for.  The reason I would limit the use of this card to 2 would be the low hp this card has.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  Other than having a below average hp, everything else on this card is average to slightly above average.  So if you're building a water and fire type deck and need a card or two to complete your deck, this card may just fit the bill.
