Beldum -- Guardians Rising Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Beldum from the Guardians Rising set.  Beldum is a Basic, Metal type Pokemon card with a HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to Fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to Psychic type Pokemon, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  Beldum does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  Its only move is called Core Beam, for one Metal Energy card, this move does 20 damage, however you must discard a Metal type Energy attached to Beldum after using this move.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Beldum is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Metang, and a Stage 2 evolution in Metagross, which I'll be reviewing the next couple of 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 just act like Beldum does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, although this card can attack quickly and do above average damage, because it just has the one move, and you need to continuously attach Energy cards to Beldum in order to attack, I would either not use this card in a deck at all, or keep it on the Bench to help evolve this line into Metagross GX.

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 Guardians Rising set.  This card does have a solid HP, low retreat cost, and a quick move, but because you need to discard an Energy card each time you attack with this card, it isn't worth using in a deck on its own.

Beldum -- Ancient Origins Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Beldum from the Ancient Origins set.  Beldum is a basic, metal type Pokemon card with an HP of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Beldum does not have an Ability or an Ancient Trait but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Ram, for one metal energy card this move does 10 damage.  Beldum's second move is called Spinning Attack, for three energy cards, two colorless and one metal, this move does 30 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Beldum is a basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Metang, and a Stage 2 evolution in Metagross and there are two Metagross cards in this set, 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, I will just act like Beldum does not have any evolution forms and that it will be used on its own.  On its own, this card could have been used as a starter type Pokemon in your deck mainly because it could attack for one energy card and if need be could do up to 30 damage a turn later on, but because this card has a higher retreat cost, two colorless energy cards, I would not recommend using this card on its own.  So unless you're using this Beldum card as a stepping stone to Metang and Metagross, don't use this card in your deck.

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 Ancient Origins set.  This card does have a few positives on it, like its average HP and the fact it has two moves.  However, this card is limited in that you're not going to want to put three energy cards on a card that has 60 HP, and this card requires more energy cards to retreat than to attack with its first move.  So again, this isn't a card I would recommend using on its own.

Beldum -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Beldum from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Beldum is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Beldum does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Calculate, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to look at the top 4 cards of your deck and rearrange them in any order you like.  Beldum's other move is called Psypunch, this move requires two energy cards, one each of colorless and psychic, and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Beldum is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Metang and a stage 2 evolution in Metagross, 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, this card may work well if you're looking for one more Pokemon card to fit into your deck.  You could use this card as a starter card in your deck, move it into the active Pokemon spot early in the game, use Calculate first to get some energy cards on the top of your deck or basic Pokemon, whichever you need more, then after that use Psypunch every turn.  I wouldn't use more than 1 of these in a psychic type deck unless you plan on using it with Beldum's evolutions.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  This card is pretty average overall, average hp, average retreat cost, and two average moves.  I wish this card could do some damage for only one energy card but at least it can do something for only one energy card so it isn't that bad.  So again, I wouldn't use this card in a deck without its evolutions unless you need one more card in your deck, then this card wouldn't be that bad to use.
